The city street is hot
The heat is escalating
Every corner in the town
There's a paycheck waiting
Put a flower in your pocket
If you see them boy you drop it
And you run
You run
They may pretend they like you
But man's best friend will bite you
Just for fun
For fun
If they're gunning for you boy
You've already won
I had a dream today
About a hustler who lost
He paid his dues
Then he paid the cost
Wish I knew back then
All I know right now
Things would be much different
Than time has allowed
Put a flower in your pocket
If you see them boy you drop it
And you run
You run
They may pretend they like you
But man's best friend will bite you
Just for fun
For fun
If they're gunning for you boy
You've already won
With tired eyes
And bills to pay
You gotta make it through
Another day
The streets can see
Into your soul
It ain't where ya been
But where you're gonna go
Put a flower in your pocket
If you see them boy you drop it
And you run
You run
They may pretend they like you
But man's best friend will bite you
Just for fun
For fun
If they're gunning for you boy
You've already won
