Back in the alleyways
With street trash I hideaway
Fuck with me you bet your life
I'll cut through you like a switchblade knife
The golden rule under the street light sun
Is lookout for number one
Don't think twice about what's right
I sink my teeth and take a bite

Street school there ain't no rules
When trouble calls your back's against the wall
And they got you by the balls
You don't wanna bleed you gotta fight 'em dirty
Before they bring you to your knees

You gotta scratch
Scratch like a cat
You gotta scratch
Scratch like a cat

Law dog come sniffin' around
Sniffin' around when the sun goes down
On my ass and without a doubt
I chew 'em up and I spit 'em out
It's do or die in this paradise
War games we call street life
So don't you cross my path
'Cause Til make sure you don't come back

Street school there ain't no rules
When trouble calls your back against the wall
And they got you by the balls
You don't wanna bleed you gotta fight 'em dirty
Before they bring you to your knees

Chorus

And if I should die tomorrow
Don't say a prayer for me
Pray for the lonely children
And hope they don't turn out like me

Chorus (repeat)
