[Intro] See them marching Marching home my Lord After fighting For the throne [Chorus: Deacon the Villain][x2] They in the streets all night All day They in the streets all night All day You hear the guns sing pah rum pum pum As arms say bombs away [Verse 1: Deacon the Villain] They were born in the belly of the beast Make a wrong turn streets is telling of a feast Where peace is a myth Where sleeps for the rich To eat is a gift Alarming How charming a child can be 'Till he's rollin' down ya street in a gold caprice Trying eat on ya gold piece Leave sleep in a hole deceased I'm talking where you better pray right before you see daylight No days predictable There's no two alike Everybody's a-type Ready for the k** Babies need meals dolla dolla bills Over pills and such we trust Blue come through tough throw ya folk in cuffs Watch 'em grown up in the game till they old and rough You better learn when to fold or bluff [Chorus: Deacon the Villain][x2] They in the streets all night All day They in the streets all night All day You hear the guns sing pah rum pum pum As arms say bombs away [Verse 2: Deacon the Villain] They in the background mobbin' Creepin' through the slums Goons and goblins You think they lookin' for problems? They looking for change like trees in autumn And in they eyes you can see what fear do When every moment it is giving you an earful Become witness To the estranged children of the corn Let the wick flame Devil wings and halos In the innocence of the barbies and the legos They something like playdoh Getting fashioned getting molded since days old Getting game over games of dice A ghetto life such a famous plight To get the picture hope I frame it right n***as for sale name your price [Verse 3: Homeboy Sandman] The evil that men do And women do As observed by the little dudes in the living rooms It was always mommy catching a beat down Got tired of picking up her teeth so Into the streets now Maybe it's the system that forced her in that position Or foster pops that wanted special kisses Whatever the decision now stranded on the concrete And granted a front row seat to watch hyenas compete Sights where they dwell places Height that bring em closer to the blood stains and shell cases Kiddies shouldn't feel so down This little piggy seen deals go down Instead of watching clowns at the circus They watching out for clowns loud enough to get murdered on purpose Seen the crime scene before the cops did at seven or eight By nine ten, they can see the crime before it take place [Chorus: Deacon the Villain] They in the streets all night All day They in the streets all night All day You hear the guns sing pah rum pum pum As arms say bombs away [Outro] What we really need (really need) For victory (victory) In life 'Tween you and me Is history What we really need (really need) For victory (victory) In life 'Tween you and me History
