Standin' on the sidewalk,
suckin' on a soda pop,
it's nothin' but a tough luck,
say what?
Yeah, you gotta get a piece,
you gotta hold it,
if you wanna be the king,
the king of the street
I got my blade, I got my lady,
gonna touch her on the hand,
and give her a little kiss, like this
Singin' Lord have mercy,
oh Lord have mercy
The youth be wild,
on Avenue Crazy
And the night's comin' down,
the streetlight flickers
Here comes the street gang,
the beautiful killers
Aren't they gorgeous,
in their black leather jackets
A vision of glory,
let's hear it for America
Let's hear it for America,
let's hear it for America
Lickin' on an ice cream,
just turned 13,
about to make a bad scene
A whole lot worse
I'm go ing out tonight,
gonna be a night fight
You're gonna be okay, kid
You're gonna be alright
Yeah, I got my cross,
I got my lady
Wanna touch her on the face
And say goodbye
Goodbye
From skyline to mainline
Subway to Skyway
this is Street Gang Turf
Street Gang Turf
Yeah, Subway to Skyway
Skyline to Mainline
It's a Street Gang Turf
Yeah, Street Gang Turf
Said the Street Gang's swinging again
Yeah, the Street Gang's
swinging again
Singing, Lord have mercy
Oh, Lord have mercy
Something moving in the shadows,
coming right at me.
Oh no, that kid's got a gun,
I started to run.
But my feet stopped working,
I'm having too much fun.
