Look out
[Verse 1]
Hey man, got to take a stand, so you think that you've been had?
Well, I'm here to bet you, street's going to get you, two out of three ain't bad
Hey man, it's getting out of hand, cross your heart and hope to die, yeah
You got yours, I got mine, I'm going to get what's coming to you

Because the street giveth (yeah), and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, wow, no way

Hey man, don't you need a hand? I ain't no blessing in disguise
Feel the agony and the ecstasy, it's going to burn right through you

Because the street giveth (oh yeah), and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no, no, no way, no way, ow

Because the street giveth, (taketh away, it giveth away) and the street taketh away
(The street taketh away)
Because the street giveth, (so watch your ass, man) and the street taketh away
(Yeah, it taketh away)
Because the street giveth, (it giveth away) and the street taketh away
Because the street giveth, ('Cause the street giveth) and the street taketh away
(It taketh away)
Because the street giveth...
