For god´s sake - you´re just like a brother
For god´s sake - not like any other
For god´s sake - you´re not just another man

For god´s sake - there´s no way of knowing
For god´s sake - there´s no way of showing
For god´s sake - it´s not just another crime

Down in the streets - it´s just dirty and mean
Down in the streets - we´re just living in fear
Down in the streets - we´re gonna burn and fry

´Cause we´re living in mean streets - Mean streets
We´re living in mean streets - Mean streets

For god´s sake - we can´t keep a going
For god´s sake - we reap what we are sowing
For god´s sake - it´s not just another time

For god´s sake - antother dead brother
For god´s sake - they´re all motherfuckers
For god´s sake - there´s no way to heal the blind

Down in the streets - it´s just dirty and mean
Down in the streets - we´re just living in fear
Down in the streets - we´re gonna burn and fry

´Cause we´re living in mean streets - Mean streets
We´re living in mean streets - Mean streets

[Rap:]
Down in the streets
It´s just dirty and mean
Down in the streets
We´re just living in fear
Down in the streets
We´re gonna burn and fry
Down in the streets
We´re gonna take you high
