lyrics

i love my street

i love my street i love my hood

i love to sit
hiding in my car
peekin out like a owl
at all them people walkin by
+ they can't see me lookin
but i don't care
cuz they in such a hurry
like i ain't even there

i love my street i love my hood

the girl who hopes her boyfriend will answer her call
+ the red nosed rummy sleepin' it off on a bench beside a wall
n the kid with th' new Fat Ram tattoo is showin' it off
to a skateboard hero hot shot who asks him what it cost

i love my street i love my hood

hey, hey you
i got yr back
even if i'm invisible
if i'm white or if i'm black
hey, good lookin'
watch out here i come
i jus' might jump
outa my car
n wrastle ya some

i love my street i love my hood

a boy is leaning out the bus give a finger to a dog
who's pissing on a tree my cuban landlady planted last fall
n she runs out the door from her knick knack store
screaming like a banshee but he pays no attention to her - at all

i love my street i love my hood
