Five Blocks to The Subway Lyrics

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' drugs 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
