Streets Of The City Lyrics - Singles - Roger Campo

STREETS OF THIS CITY 

I BEEN WALKING THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

SEEN THE BOYS FIGHTING TO BE MEN 

SEEN THE GIRLS WALKING LIKE LADIES 

FOOLISH CHILDREN TRYING TO PRETEND 

THESE STREETS WILL TAKE YOU OVER 

TAKE YOUR MIND, TAKE CONTROL 

TEACH YOU TO FIGHT, TEACH YOU TO STEAL 

TEACH YOU SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK N ROLL 

OUT ON THE STREET 

YOU LEARN TO FIGHT TO GET THE THINGS YOU CAN'T REACH 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

OUT ON THE STREET 

YOU LEARN THE THINGS THAT YOUR MOMMA JUST CAN'T TEACH 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

BUT THE STORY THAT'S SELDOM TOLD 

PEOPLE FIGHTING TO SAVE THEIR SOUL 

GROWING UP ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

THERE'S A LANGUAGE THAT YOU LEARN SPEAK 

THERE'S A JUDGE, AND A JURY 

THERE'S A LAW WRITTEN IN CONCRETE 

SOMEWHERE OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

THERE'S TWO KIDS TRYING TO RISE ABOVE 

ABOVE THE STREETS, UP ON THE ROOF 

THEY PUT THEIR FAITH IN EACH OTHER'S LOVE 

OUT ON THE STREET 

IS WHERE A BOY AND A GIRL AND THEIR LOVE WILL MEET 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

OUT ON THE STREET 

YOU LEARN TO LOVE HARD AND LOVE DEEP 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY 

BUT THE STORY THAT'S SELDOM TOLD 

TWO KIDS FIGHTING TO SAVE THEIR SOUL 

ALL ALONE THIS GIRL MUST DECIDE 

DECIDE IF SHE WILL KEEP 

THIS CHILD BORN FROM THE LUST AND THE SWEAT 

AND THE BLOOD OF THESE STREETS 

SHES HEARD THOSE BULLETS FLY 

SHES SEEN HER LOVER DIE 

SHES HEARD HIS MOMMA CRY 

WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY 

OUT ON THE STREET 

OUT ON THE STREETS OF THIS CITY
