Street Tough - Ben E. King

Living on the city street tough

Living on the city street tough

Living on the city street tough

When you’re street tough

You came down the ups and downs of life turnin' you round

You got to keep on moving on

Places you know, people you see thats where you find

The answers to survive, learning things as you go

And now you’re traveling down the path

Of life where only fools dare to go

And even though you’re losing

You know you just can’t let it show

When you’re street tough

You got to learn to be strong

When you’re street tough

You got to take care of your own

Street tough

Win or lose live or die

Street tough

When you’re street tough

And through the years you hold your tears

You have to face, you got to to survive

Doing the things you got to do, you know you’re better

If you want to stay alive (stay alive)

You’re traveling down the path

Of life where only fools dare to go

And even though you’re losing

You know you just can’t let it show

When you’re street tough

You got to try for yourself

When you’re street tough

You got to fight like hell to get somewhere

Street tough

There’s nobody out there who really cares

Street tough

Lord, when you’re street tough

Living on the city street tough

And now you’re traveling down the path

Of life where only fools dare to go

And even though you lose sometimes

You just can’t let it show

When you’re street tough

Living on the city street tough

Living on the city street tough

Living on the city street tough

Round and round the chances go

Where you’ll stop nobody knows

When you’re street tough

Lord, when you’re street tough

Whats right for you is wrong for them

Don’t wanna hurt nobody but you got to make it for yourself

When you’re street tough

Living on the city street tough
