Street Kid

Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1983 - 2024 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] The streets were never very kind. Quite young, the kid learned how to fight. He joined a gang and stole a knife. The streets were never safe at night. [Verse 2] One night he heard a sudden noise. Instinctively, he drew his knife. He caught the prowler by surprise, But never meant to take his life. [Chorus] The streets don’t care who’s right or wrong, They’ll steal your heart before too long. A place where futures go to die, The streets decide while mothers cry. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] The prowler had a brother who For vengeance went and stole a gun. The kid was well within his rights. The streets were never very fun. [Verse 4] The kid played in the streets that day Until a shot came from above. The people stood there as he died, A victim of a brother’s love. [Chorus] The streets don’t care who’s right or wrong, They’ll steal your heart before too long. A place where futures go to die, The streets decide while mothers cry. [Instrumental Outro]
