Streetfighter

Lyrics

I was born in the heart of the city Concrete and bricks Softened by my mama's kisses Hardened by my daddy's fists The big guy wanted a quarter My lunch money every day But when I showed him my baseball bat The big guy backed away (He backed away) You know you might get beat But no matter who you meet You never cross the street and retreat When you're a streetfighter You learn your way around You learn to get up When you're knocked down You get up off the ground And takе the next round Streetfighter I know how to jump ovеr rooftops I know how to wire a car I know how to deal with people on the street That's not where you are You come from a special place A place I don't quite understand Baby I would change the world for you But I can't change who I am Now you say you're leaving Someone you've been talking to But I ain't about to step aside And let him walk away, walk away with you You know you might get beat But no matter who you meet You never cross the street and retreat When you're a streetfighter You learn your way around You learn to get up When you're knocked down You get up off the ground And take the next round Streetfighter (You learn your way around) (Streetfighter) (Get up) (Now you say you're leaving) Say you're leaving (Someone you've been talking to) Someone you've been talking to (I ain't about to step aside) And let him walk away, walk away with you (Streetfighter) (You know you might get beat but no matter who you meet) You know you might get beat (You never cross the street and retreat when you're a streetfighter) But you never cross the street (You learn your way around, you learn to get up when you're knocked down) Learn your way around (You get up off the ground and take the next round) You learn to get up when you're knocked down (Streetfighter) (Get up, streetfighter) (Get up, streetfighter) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) Where I was born (Born in the heart, heart of the city) In the heart of the city, oh yeah (Born in the heart, heart of the city) I ain't leaving, no way, leaving you girl I ain't going nowhere I don't care what you said, care what you do I ain't leaving, I ain't leaving you (Get up) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Streetfighter) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Get up) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Streetfighter) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Get up) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) Ain't going nowhere, I ain't going nowhere (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Born in the heart, heart of the city) (Born in the heart, heart of the city)
