4
Dennis: I was born and raised
5
In the slums of the city,

8
That slept ten other children beside me,
9
Temptations: Boom, boom-boom, boom

11
Or room to sleep

My father didn't know the meaning of work

And treated us like dirt

That I never did find

And I took to cloud nine

34
Don't let life pass you by,
35
Temptations: Woo, woo, woo-oo
36
Dennis: But the world, around you's, is a rat race
37
Where only the strongest survive,
38
It's a dog-eat-dog world
39
And that ain't no lie,
40
Temptations: Ain't no lie
41
Dennis: Listen it ain't even safe no more
42
To walk the streets at night
43
