Mean Streets Lyrics - Edge Of Forever - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Raised up with two kinds of people 

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 

I swear the wind took me away 

But now I'm here again today, yeah 

[Chorus] 

I'm back on the mean streets (back on the mean streets) 

Oh, it's the only thing I know 

Never change me (never change me) 

It was born in my soul 

And it don't take much to make me mad 

Push me a little and I bring back 

I've a mean streak, oh 

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 cause you're packin' 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] 

Do you ever think about where you're goin' 

Have you ever thought about where you been 

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 

[Chorus] 

Yeah, I'm back on the mean streets baby 

I'm back on the mean streets 

I'm back on the mean streets 

Mean streets 

It don't take much to take me back
