Street Gang

Standing on the sidewalk, sucking on a soda pop
It's nothing but a tough luck... day walk
Yeah, you gotta get a piece, you gotta hold heat
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 a little kiss
Like this

Singing Lord have mercy, oh Lord have mercy
The youth gang wild on Avenue Crazy

And the night's coming 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, oh!

Licking on an ice cream, just turned thirteen
About to make a bad scene a whole lot worse
I'm going out tonight, gonna be a knife 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 all street gang turf, yeah, street gang turf
So the street beat swinging again
Yeah, the street gang 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
