I was raised here in this living Hell
You don't know my kind in your world

Tied in poverty's despair

You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see

Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets

Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
