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/F# 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/F# 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?
