five blocks to the subway þarký sözü

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
