V1
I got dealt a bad hand
When I was just a young man
Another young brother from a bad neighborhood
Up to no good
V2
My silver spoon wasn’t good enough
Out on the street I had to get tough
Only when you have it all
Do you know how far you can fall
V3
A hooker by the bay
Momma works night and day
It’s time to blow this scene
And find my Hollywood dream
Pre-chorus:
Three alone on the run
Out on the streets under the gun
Now we’re birds of a feather
On the run together
Chorus
V4
No more waiting in line, it’s better than doing time
Working undercover, instead of doing the crime
Driving fast busting thugs, popping pushers selling drugs
You might think it’s odd, we like to run with The Mod Squad
