Been up all night trying to earn your pay
Every day is like shooting dice
Street walker in the middle of the day
But can you make it when we turn on the lights
You carry yourself like you carry a knife
But I ain't complaining, don't get me wrong
Mama, told you when you ran away
But before you know it, it'll be gone
It's not easy in the city
Sooner or later everybody gets beat
In the city
Trying to hustle everyone that you meet
Street walker in the middle of your life
I've been on this corner so long
But it's no one's guess who's the next blonde
Fast talker in the middle of the street
It's not easy, there's no pity in the city
Of the city?
