Intro :
Living in the streets
Living in the streets, come on
Living in the streets
Don't turn your back, come on now !
Chorus :
Streetkids in every city
And they are kids like you and me
Kids like you and me
Give them a voice and a choice
Cause they are kids like you and me
Kids like you and me
Rap 1 :
Listen up, push it down
This goes out to the kids in your town
Walking around with their head down
Why, oh why no house to be found?
Yes, they gotta feel, and they must steal
Listen to my rap, it shows the deal
Boy or girl with it straight or a curl
All you and me's up in this world
No more ifs, I say no more maybes
Help them out, and save the little babies
Let your wallet ring, let the children sing
Help them stop eating from the bin
Bridge :
Cause they don't have a choice
Don't have a voice, and no respect
No house, no home, no love don't turn your back
Can you imagine yourself in the same sort of situation ?
It's up to me and you do what you got to do Yeah!
Wanna give it up, give it in, give it up
give it out, give it all
It's up to me and you do what you got to do yeah !
Rap 2 :
You've got to make it, no time to fake it
Put your hands together start operating
The kids of poor sleep on the floor
Help them please I can't take it no more
We gotta take care of the kids, you see
Look out for the ones in poverty
Nowaways, yes, they need more attention
Peace and love to the the kids that I've mentioned
Outro :
There must be something we can do
You know it's up to me and you
You know it's up to me and you
There must be something we can do
There must be something we can do
'Cause got it it's up to me and you
Now it's up to me and you
There must be something we can do
