I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive. I'm not saying what I did was alright, Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight. Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind, I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find. You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure, Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester. Across 110th Street, Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street, Pushers won't let the junkie go free. Across 110th Street, Woman trying to catch a trick on the street. Across 110th Street, You can find it all in the street. I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now. Hey brother, there's a better way out. Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out. Take my advice, it's either live or die. You've got to be strong, if you want to survive. The family on the other side of town, Would catch hell without a ghetto around. In every city you find the same thing going down, Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town. Across 110th Street, Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street, Pushers won't let the junkie go free. Across 110th Street, A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby Across 110th Street, You can find it all in the street. Yes he can, oh Look around you, just look around you, Look around you, look around you, uh yeah |

Hello, my love
I heard a kiss from you Red magic satin playing near, too All through the morning rain I gaze - the sun doesn't shine - Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind In the garden - I see west Purple shower, bells and tea Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green Pretty music I hear - so happy And loud - blue flower echo From a cherry cloud Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue Playgrounds will laugh if you try to ask Is it cool?, is it cool? If you arrive and don't see me I'm going to be with my baby I am free - flying in her arms, over the sea Stained window, yellow candy screen See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight A present from you - Strawberry letter 22 The music plays, I sit in for a few Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... A present from you - Strawberry letter 22 The music plays, I sit in for a few Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh... |

I play the streetlife, because there`s no place I can go
Streetlife it`s the only life I know Streetlife and there`s a thousand parts to play Streetlife until you play your life away You let the people see, just who you wanna be And every night you shine, just like a super star That`s how the life is played a ten cent masquerade You dress, you walk, you talk You`re who you think you are Streetlife you can run away from tide Streetlife for a nickel or a dime Streetlife but you better not get old Streetlife or you`re gonna feel the cold There`s always love for sale a grown-up fairytale Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon And if you keep it young your song is always sung Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon Streetlife Streetlife Streetlife - Streetlife I play the streetlife, because there`s no place I can go Streetlife it`s the only life I know Streetlife and there`s a thousand parts to play Streetlife until you play your life away - ooh Streetlife - Streetlife Streetlife - Streetlife |

Two people, just meeting
Barely touching each other Two spirits greeting Trying to carry it further You are one and I am another We should be one inside each other You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? Two strangers, not strangers only lacking the knowing So willing, feeling, infinite growing While we're here the whole world is turning We should be one Fulfilling our yearning You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? |

Melanie:
""Take your thumb off the cup. You okay?"" Louis: ""Yeah, just getting old. Seems I can't smoke or laugh now without coughing."" Melanie: ""Oh, well coughing's good, it opens up the capillaries, you know when you cough you're pulling air, or in this case... smoke, into parts of the lungs that don't normally get used, and so, coughing's good, it gets you higher..."" Ordell: ""...and you definately know a lot about that. Goddamn girl, you gettin high already? It's just two o'clock."" Melanie: ""It's that late?"" Ordell: ""You know you smoke too much of that shit, that shit's gonna rob you of your ambition..."" Melanie: ""Not if your ambition's to get high and watch TV."" |
