City street is hot
the heat is escalating
every corner in the town is a paycheck waiting
put a flower in your pocket
if you see them boy you drop it and you run, run
they may pretend they like you but man's best friend
will bite you just for fun, fun
if they're coming for you boy, you've already won
I had a dream today about a hustler lost
he paid his dues and then 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, run
they may pretend they like you but man's best friend
will bite you just for fun, fun
if they're coming 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 you been but where you're gonna go
put a flower in your pocket
if you see them boy you drop it and you run, run
they may pretend they like you but man's best friend
will bite you just for fun, fun
if they're coming for you boy, you've already won
