Lesson Learned Lyrics


Tell me can you feel the heat

From the man on the beat while

You're pushing on the street

Feeling like you're ten feet tall

Well you're looking kinda small

With your back to the wall

Is it that you just don't care

That the burden that you bear

Don't compare to the share

Of the money that you make in a day

There's a will, there's a way

There's a price that you pay

For a lesson learned, lesson earned

The streets were stolen

The tables were turned

Lesson learned, lesson earned

The streets were stolen

The tables were turned

Workin' two jobs cause money's tight

I get up at six o'clock and take it straight through the night

When I walk to work it's great cause it's so close to home

But the nights are kinda scary and I travel alone.

No one is around but whores and junkies

Trying to sell you anything they can

People on the block are scared to come out

They'd rather leave the fighting to the man

If the pusher claimed to be king of the mountain

He'd steal your kids and use them for the night

It looks like you're in for one hell of a  fight

Tell me can you feel the heat

From the man on the beat while

You're pushing on the street

Feeling like you're ten feet tall

Well you're looking kinda small

With your back to the wall

Is it that you just don't care

That the burden that you bear

Don't compare to the share

Of the money that you make in a day

There's a will, there's a way

There's a price that you pay

For a lesson learned, lesson earned

The streets were stolen

The tables were turned

Lesson learned, lesson earned

The streets were stolen

The tables were turned

Used to love the city, now the city is shit

And it's hard to keep it clean when we're shittin' on it

The corruption is disruption and disruptions unjust

And injustice calls for action, any actions a plus

Sacrifice a couple of minutes a day

And try to solve the problem with a plan

It's gonna take more than a couple of fists

Better ask you neighbor for a hand

First bell rings, keep on punchin'

Drive em' outta town with all your might

Looks like he's in for one hell of a fight

For a lesson learned, lesson earned

The streets were stolen

The tables were turned

Lesson learned, lesson earned

The streets were stolen

The tables were turned
