little Mr. Street Survivor
who ya gonna grow up to be
can you rise above the despair that you see

your daddy’s gone, your mama she’s in jail
for things you just don’t understand
it's not fair, it’s not your fault, but it’s time to be a man

cause nobody’s gonna do it for you
you’re on your own, be strong, break on through
stand tall, stay safe and to your own self be true

little Mr. Street Survivor
have you been sneaking around the local stores
jacking again and taking what isn’t yours

but how are you to survive
if you don’t cheat and lie and steal
for survival depends on finding your next meal

cause nobody’s…

nobody’s watchin’ over you, nobody even cares
except for the competition, you better be aware
there’s others just like you, I’m sad to say, everywhere

yet if you are one of the lucky ones
and life smiles upon your plight
you will endure and never again have to fight

cause nobody’s…
