I see ya waiting for the bus early in the morn', brick house with a face like Lena Horne.

If you've got beef, then eat a porkchop

But when I really look back on my life, being really honest about it and now that I've got the chance to travel the world, seeing how a lot of little kids grow up - my life wasn't so bad.

I see ya waiting for the bus early in the morn', brick house with a face like Lena Horne.

I'd be a fool to surrender, when I know I can be a contender. And if everyone's a contender, then everyone could be a winner.

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets.

As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke.
