Am               C
Raised up with two kinds of people
     G                 D
The good ones and the bad
I was taught from early on
The only choice I had

Now I see, it's clear to me
What was in the plan
Had to walk the walk and talk the talk
And try to be a man

F                          D
I swear the wind took me away
F            C     G      E
But now I'm here again today, yeah

Chorus:
                Am           D  
I'm back on the mean streets
             G             Am
Oh, it's the only thing I know
Never change me, it was born in my soul

        Am                 C
And it don't take much to make me mad
 G                   D
Push me a little and I bring back
        Am         D   G
I've a mean streak,
                       Am
Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets

Somebody stole my money
I heard a brother say
Used to we'd fight it out
That was yesterday

Just because you're packing son
Don't make you a man
If you shoot to kill, what's the thrill
Why don't you understand

Each time I walk outside my door
We need a change and that's for sure

Chorus

       Em
Do you ever think about where you're goin'?
         G
Have you ever thought about where you've been?
 C                            D
Will you ever pass this way again?

There's a fear and you know it
But inside, you can't show it
No where for you to run and hide
