Five Blocks to the Subway (Explicit) (Album Version)

Walkin' five blocks everyday to earn my keep

It ain't easy when you're walkin' on these streets

Runnin' on a tight rope it's a real thin line

Thinkin' that you might die this time

Somethings will never change a street education

So close yet so far just a block from the station

Standin' on the corner I might get taken out

Five blocks to the subway my everyday route

Five blocks to the subway just five blocks away

Five blocks to the subway I can do that any day

There's a local wise guy he owns the whole damn block

It's easy doin' business when you're payin' off the cops

Makin' money pushin' *** wouldn't stop if he could

Killin' kids in his own damn neighborhood

Watch out for muggers and the pickpockets beware

You get to play these games when you pay your transit fare

Trials and tribulations a journey made each day

This is my reality the hardest game to play

Five blocks to the subway just five blocks away

Five blocks to the subway I can do that any day

Five blocks to the subway just five blocks away

Five blocks to the subway I can do that any day

Any day

Any day

Standin' on the platform and I'm waiting for the train

Good thing I'm underground now it's startin' to rain

Always stand alone hold the wall up with my back

Or else you might get pushed under the tracks

Five blocks to the subway just five blocks away

Five blocks to the subway I can do that any day

Five blocks to the subway just five blocks away

Ain't no f**king problem and I do that everyday

Everyday

Every motherf**king day

Every motherf**king day
