Street Life Joe Sample & Lalah Hathaway

I still hang around
Neither lost nor found
You're the lonely sound
A music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me yeah, yeah

Street life, street life
Street life, street life

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
Cause' it's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away

Street life, street life
Street life, street life

Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel or a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold

You let people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The time my life has played
A dancing masquerade
You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are

Street life, street life
Street life, street life

Ohh

Street life, street life
Street life, street life

I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
Cause it's the only life I know
Street life
Where there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
Hmm

Street life, street life
Yeah, yeah
Street life, street life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Street life, street life
Hmm
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
