Back On The Streets Again Lyrics - East Bay Grease/bump City - Tower Of Power

I had to compete 

In the concrete, in the jungle 

Had to kick and scratch 

Stab some backs, in the jungle 

At first I had a honest dream 

Then the dike broke through 

The scheme I had so gently planned 

Soon that fell through 

Now I'm back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) 

I'm back, (back, back, back on the street again) 

It's a gold plated world 

When you ain't got a dime for a phone call, in the jungle 

Makes me feel so bad 

To be standin' in the welfare line 

My so called friends of yesterday 

They don't even know my name 

If I get a second chance 

I do believe I'll feel the same 

I'm back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) 

I'm back, (back, back, back on the street again) 

{Horn Break:} 

Well I'll sing a song 

And then keep control of my action, in the jungle 

Living in them streets 

Makes a man turn death away 

Life right now is just a dirty word 

There's no place for me to go 

The look I wear up on my face 

Let's everybody know that 

I'm back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) 

I'm back, (back, back, back on the street again) 

I'm back, (back, back, back on the street again) 

I'm back, back, back, back (back, back, back on the streets again) 

Makes me feel so bad 

To be back on the streets again 

Fell asleep in the park last night 

Sunday paper feel uptight 

Hope the lord now give to me 

What's before me imitate 

Ridin' on this big machine 

Back on the streets again
