Street Love
In the sky
are a million butterflies
burning up these city lights
with every color that they find.
And my feet
stand in the middle of the street.
I drown in asphalt to my knees,
I forget about the cigarette I need.
While I grew up these streets grew dead,
now I'm all grown up and these streets grew back.
I've got a heavy weight I carry on my shoulder,
but now that I'm heavy weight class I could carry heavy boulders.
You better watch the way your mouth talks.
Can't you tell by the way I talk?
My brothers and sisters used to point their fingers ...
can't you tell by the way that they're lined in chalk?!
You want to walk these streets but you don't speak the language.
You're not strong enough to survive the projects.
You want to speak up? Now how you gonna do that?!
You're too dumb to even stand up and talk back ... .
How come I don't recognize your face?
Maybe you've seen me around back in the old days,
carrieing my headphones around ... .
It's another kind of music that I'm chasin' now!
Remember me, everytime you walk alone,
because at nighttime I call these streets home,
and 'though all these faces are just gone?
Remember: A wolf never comes by one.
They all put on their pokerface,
like back in the poker days.
If you ask who's best, they all say the same,
but the streets are alive and poker is just a game.
Has a bad motherfucker ever walked your way?
Not with me, 'cause I make sure they stay
right in their place because that's the way
a wolf marks his territory day by day.
Can someone please tell me what's going on?!
'Cause I been away some, and that's way too long!
The place that I call home is gone
and now I walk alone and that's just wrong ... !
In the sky
are a million butterflies
burning up these city lights
with every color that they find.
And my feet
stand in the middle of the street.
I drown in asphalt to my knees,
I forget about the cigarette I need.
In my sight
all the shadows of the night
break the concrete to my side.
These walls have never shined so bright.
and my hands
take those of my fellow men,
hold every single one and only friend.
Will I be someone they ever understand ... ?
