Five Blocks To The Subway Sözleri

Walkin' five blocks every day to earn my keep

It ain't easy when you're walkin' on these streets

Runnin' on a tightrope it's a real thin line

Thinkin' that you might die this time

Some things will never change, a street education

So close yet so far, just a block from the station

Standin' on the corner, I might get taken out

Five blocks to the subway, just five blocks away

Five blocks to the subway, I can do that any day

There's a local wise guy he owns the whole damn block

It's easy doin' business when you're payin' off the cops

Makin' money pushin' drugs wouldn't stop if he could

Killin' kids in his own damn neighborhood

Watch out for muggers and the pickpockets beware

You get to play these games when you pay transit fare

Trials and tribulations, a journey made each day

This is my reality,the hardest game to play

Standin' on the platform and I'm waiting for the train

Good thing I'm underground, now it's startin' to rain

Always stand alone, hold the wall up with my back

Or else you might get pushed on to the tracks
