I always wanted to be the voice of the streets
But my father was a rabbi and my mother made beats
I mean books
And the kids from the streets always gave me dirty looks
It's watching your own shadow on a dirt bike
Get shot in the back under a street light
When you arrive at the party it will not be
Without a bullet in your back
And a poem about death
And of course your Walkman

[00:00.658] I always wanted to be the voice of the streets
[00:03.638] But my father was a rabbi and my mother made beats
[00:08.072] I mean books
[00:09.981] And the kids from the streets always gave me dirty looks
[00:33.859] It's watching your own shadow on a dirt bike
[00:40.185] Get shot in the back under a street light
[00:46.454] When you arrive at the party it will not be
[00:53.537] Without a bullet in your back
[01:01.570] And a poem about death
[01:06.600] And of course your Walkman
I always wanted to be the voice of the streets
But my father was a rabbi and my mother made beats
I mean books
And the kids from the streets always gave me dirty looks
It's watching your own shadow on a dirt bike
Get shot in the back under a street light
When you arrive at the party it will not be
Without a bullet in your back
And a poem about death
And of course your Walkman
