The only school that I´ve ever known
Are these streets where I lived and roamed
This is where it all began
Where that kid became a man
A stronger man!

These city streets I call my home
They made me strong, learn to stand alone
These city streets I live to stay
made me the man who I am today

I lived hard, I lived fast
I did my time can´t get that back
But that lesson was worth the fall
I learned to give back and rise above it all
So I stand tall!

We stood hard, we always held our own
We stood strong, it´s all we´ve ever known
Streetwise is what you had to be
Just to survive on these city streets
