It was regular stuff like parry and [bad word] Ain't out of the blue like we usually do
So me and Angelo came around about seven
With stars in our eyes from the press we were gettin'
Suspect from headache you know a great deal
Your apathy fake but your parts are real
More than a little by the time it went down
I had crossed your path but you didn't know how
record claimed star by the end of the week
Set flames to the heat that's all out in the street
The problems and [bad word] hand in hand
When the mother [bad word] ends up workin' for the
band
 [bad word] 
The streets is watchin'
So keep on talkin'
Your time is tickin' down, down, down
The streets is watchin'
So keep on talkin'
Your time is tickin' down, down, down

Let's catch fishes
Bombs make misses
You get served like dishes
Like the soft machine kisses your [bad word] It's not one iota or [bad word] or a quota
It was regular stuff like Perry and [bad word] Ain't out of the blue like we usually do
So me and Angelo came around about seven
With stars in our eyes from the press we were gettin'
Suspect from headache you know a great deal
Your apathy fake but your parts are real
More than a little by the time it went down
I had crossed your path but you didn't know how
record claimed star by the end of the week
Set flames to the heat that's all out in the street

band
 [bad word] 

Let's catch fishes
Bombs make misses
You get served like dishes
Like the soft machine kisses your [bad word] It's not one iota or [bad word] or a quota
When your time here is over
One bum, two bum, three bums more
If dispute you're using then you know what it's for
shot in the dark and after a thought
lark
You hit the watermark but the thug didn't bark
Oh yeah, that's the sound of the police
They're makin' the wave because your hand is greased
Can't put nobody on unless they're wearing a thong
But the days are gone like Yvonne Elliman
If I can't be [bad word] I don't want your money baby
See I'm happy being stealth
Can't define my wealth
So, yo, go ask somebody else

[x5]
The streets is watchin'
So keep on talkin'
Your time is tickin' down, down, down

Yeah The streets is watchin'
Yeah The streets is watchin'
I said the streets are watchin'
