The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Night time's, the right time
For me to come out and play
Voices, rejoices
There's nothing so good
Shot corners, on corners
100 bucks CID
And while you lay, alone in your bed
The things come out to feed
On the street that we live
Back to reality to me
On the street that we live
That's reality to me
On the street that we live
I would never change a thing
I can see both sides of the track
Showing me good and also bad
Knowing not to go down that path
Yeah
Live girl
Put your clothes back on
You can see into her eyes
With all of her makeup she's got on
So live girl
Act like your full grown
But baby don't ever hear a bird
She needs to go in on her own
On the street that we live
That's reality to me
On the street that we live
I would never change a thing
I can see both sides of the track
Showing me good and also bad
Knowing not to go down that path
Yeah
You can't rap to mine [?]
Everything in the world
But [?] what was so good
Just mind yah kids
[?]
[?] Don't touch
But we've got to show the reality girl
[?]
Prostitution and thugs
All them drugs selling drugs
Nighttime's, the right time
For you to come out and play
Silence, your violence
All up and down empty streets
Road lights, [?]
The neighbourhood watch on play
And while you lay, asleep in your bed
I stay wide awake
On the street that we live
That's reality to me
On the street that we live
I would never change a thing
I can see both sides of the track
Showing me good and also bad
Knowing not to go down that path
Yeah
This time's the right time, to educate all these kids
Can't hide, 'cause real life, don't give a damn where you live
See your child, to realise, the price of what innocence is
'Cause [?] get to my friend
[?]
On the street that we live
That's reality to me
On the street that we live
I would never change a thing
I can see both sides of the track
Showing me good and also bad
Knowing not to go down that path
Yeah
On the street that we live
Ohh, ohh
On the street that we live
Ohh, ohh
I can see both sides of the track
Showing me good and also bad
Knowing not to go down that path
Ohh, ohh
