[Verse 1]
[Cm]Walkin' five blocks everyday to earn my keep
It ain't easy when you're
walkin' on these [Gb]streets
[C5]Runnin' on a [C]tight rope,
it's a [Cm]real thin [Eb5]line
[Cm]Thinkin' that you might die [Ab]this time
[G]Somethings w[Cm]ill never
change a street educa[Eb5]tion
So [Cm]close yet so far just a [C]block
from the [F#]station
[C5]Standin' on the [Cm]corner
I might get taken [Eb5]out

[Verse 2]
[Cm]Five blocks to the subway
my [Ab]everyday [G]route
[Db]Five blocks [D]to the sub[Db]way[G]

I can [Db]do that an[D]y da[Db]y

[Verse 3]
[Cm]There's a local wise guy he
owns the whole damn [Eb5]block
It's [Cm]easy doin' [C]business when you're
payin' off the [Gb]cops
Makin' money pushin' [Cm]drugs
wouldn't stop if he [Eb5]could
Killin' [Cm]kids in his own damn [Ab]neighborhood
[G]Wat[Cm]ch out for muggers and the
pickpockets be[Gb]ware
You [Cm]get to play these games
when you [C]pay your transit [F#]fare
Tri[Cm]als and tribulations,
a journey made each [Eb5]day
This is my real[Cm]ity the
[Ab]hardest game to [G]play
