Young boy, a hard, gin, ride   On the loose again   Live fast to play both sides   I'm out to win      I'm no loser   I have nothing to lose   My life ain't easy   But it's mine to use      Raised on the streets   I know   To get what you want   You gotta take control      I'm on the run, bad boys   I'm on the loose, bad boys      I'm on my way, I've paid my dues   Pull of the trigger, time starts to crawl   Two lives have ended   When the hammer falls      Raised on the streets   I know   To get what you want   You gotta take control      The lost years were long   Each night was cold   The way I felt   Feel the snow      I've done my time   Paid what I owed   Don't want those walls   Of steel and stone      I put myself behind the wall   Now that I'm back, ain't gonna fall
