(Uh, ha, huh, uh, ha, huh)
2
Out on the streets
3
(Yeah)
4
Where I grew up
5
(Ah, hah)
6
First thing they teach us
7
(Uh)
8
Not to give a fuck
9
(Yeah, come on, baby)
10
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere
11
(Oh)
12
Someone has to care
13
How I got over where the people come apart?
14
Don't nobody care about cha, only thing you got is God
15
Out here in these streets if you get down on your luck
16
You can stand up with a hand down but nobody give a fuck
17
Out here in these streets every man is for himself
18
They ain't helpin' no one else, it's a hazard to your health
19
Livin' life in these cold streets
20
(Hey)
21
Whose worryin' 'bout cha, babe
22
When you wiln'[unverified] out?
23
Runnin' around in these streets
24
Out on the streets where I grew up
25
(How I got over)
26
First thing they teach us not to give a fuck
27
(How I got over)
28
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere
29
(How I got over)
30
Someone has to care
31
(Ya)
32
When you on the corners too much drama
33
Livin' with the police right behind ja'
34
It's always more than a slight reminda
35
We livin' in a war zone like Rwanda
36
Before I go back to the heavenly Fatha
37
Pray for me if it ain't too much botha
38
Whatever don't break me or make me stronga
39
I feel like I can't take too much longa
40
It's too much lyin' and too much fryin'
41
I'm all cried out 'cause I grew up cryin'
42
They all got a sales pitch, I ain't buyin'
43
They tryin' to convince me that I ain't tryin'
44
We uninspired, we unadmired
45
And tired and sick of being sick and tired
46
A living in the hood where the shots are fired
47
We dyin' to live so to live we dyin', you just like I am
48
Out on the streets
49
(Uh)
50
Where I grew up
51
(How I got over)
52
First thing they teach us not to give a fuck
53
(How I got over)
54
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere
55
(Ya, somebody, somewhere)
56
Someone has to care
57
(Somebody's gotta care)
58
And I swear it isn't fair in suspended animation
59
We ain't tryin' to go nowhere out here in these streets
60
We're so young and all alone
61
We ain't even old enough to realize we're on our own
62
Livin' life in these hard streets where it's like they lost their mind
63
Is there anyway to find? are we runnin' out of time out here?
64
Listen, hey, who's worryin' about cha, babe
65
When you wiln' [unverified] out?
66
Runnin' 'round in these streets
67
Out on the streets
68
(Uh)
69
Where I grew up
70
(How I got over)
71
First thing they teach us not to give a fuck
72
(How I got over)
73
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere
74
(Ya, somebody, somewhere)
75
Someone has to
76
Out on the streets
77
(Uh)
78
Where I grew up
79
(How I got over)

First thing they teach us not to give a fuck
