[Intro 1]
[Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm just another [Am]voice from the street,
And since it's my choice,
I feel that I must speak.
Now I know that you won't
listen to little me,
But I can't rest unless
I get this off my [D]chest.
See the [Am]city's my home,
the streets where I roam,
[D]But sti[Am]ll I leave the drugs
and violence alone.
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Am][D]
And so I try to [Am]stay in the right
frame of mind,
Although I know some people
who might say that I'm
Crazy and [D]lazy for not breakin' out,
But the [Am]city [D]has soul and that's what I'm

[Interlude 1]
about.
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 3]
[Am]I have an appetite that [D]must be fed,
[Am]No longer blind and bein[D]g led.
[Am]The type of freedom that
[D]you can buy,
My bank [Am]won't lend me yet.
[D]But still I c[Am]an get by, and even smi[D]le.
[Am]So don't judge me by the
[D]colour of my [Am]skin;
My blood runs as deep as
[D]your [Am]runs red,
Which [D]takes me out of the rap.

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] [Am]The choice
[D]is mine,
[Am]With my joy [D]and pain [Am]inside,[D]
And I [Am]ain't gone under [D]yet!

[Interlude 2]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am]
[D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 5]
See bod[Am]ies with souls
liv[D]ing in the street.
No [Am]one wants to live
with noth[D]ing to eat,
But to [Am]climb over living
[D]people and feel
That they [Am]brought it on
themselves 'cause
They [D]lazy or would rather
[Am]steal [D]is a mys[Am]tery.
[D]So don't

[Verse 6]
[Am]judge me by the
colour [D]of my skin;
My [Am]blood runs as [D]deep as your runs [Am]red,
[D][Am]
Which takes me out of the [D]verse.
[Chorus]

[Verse 7]
Your un[Am]der i[D]s my o[Am]ver; I've never
seen your [D]over yet,
[Am]But don't [D]forget
I [Am]ain't gone under [D]yet!

[Verse 8]
Your [Am]un der is[D] my ov[Am]er; I've never
seen your over yet,
[D]But[Am] don't forget
[D]I a[Am]in't gone under y[D]et!

[Verse 9]
Your [Am]un der is[D] my over; I've never
seen [Am]your over yet,
[D]But don't for[Am]get
[D]I ain't gone under yet[Am]![D]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Your under [D]is my over; I've
[Am]never seen your over yet,
But don't [D]forget
I [Am]ain't gone under [D]yet!

[Verse 11]
I don't [Am]steal,
I don't run [D]tricks or scams,
'Cause I'm a strong [Am]young
woman; yes I know who I am.
But sometimes it's so hard to get by,
Tough circumstances make me
want to get high.
But I don't go too far 'cause
that ain't my style,
So [Am]why don't you come
live next to me [D]for a while?
