Life in the Streets (intro) Songtext
von Prince Ital Joe

Marky Mark intro: Ha, yeah. I know what you′re all thinking
That this is some old Janet Jackson type of @#! but it ain't about that
This if the real, the street life trauma
Yo, I grew up rough in the streets of Boston, Massachusetts
Lived real ruthless, a wild kid, out to get a bid
Did some #@! that he never shoulda did
Had to learn the hard waythat some day you gotta pay
So what the hey, I say
Prince Ital Joe: Life in the streets ain′t easy
All I see is pain and misery
I kneel and pray for the betrayed
Strength and protection to survive in the society
This is the life in the streets


And that's how we live it
Marky Mark: Hard and mean at sixteen, livin' like a beam, theme
Out scheming for the green
Quick to kill, I gets ill, I make ya blood spill
I cut ya throat for your goose-down coat′cause statistic show that kids with no doughain′t got no chance, got nowhere to go
That's why life on the streets is like a trifular beat
It′ll echo in ya head till you're dead on the concrete
Prince Ital Joe: Life in the streets is a mystery
Don′t know my friends from my enemies
Up to lot, could be trouble
But I'll hold tight and I will never give up the fight(Chorus)This one is dedicated to all the homeless peopleto every youth that′s growin' up on the streets
You know, we're living for a dream one daythat there′ll be no more homeless people in the world
Life in the streets is not easy
