Blood For Blood - Hanging On The Corner Lyrics
This is a song for my whole townOh my sweet, sweet Jesus ChristAnother Saturday nightAnd I'm hangin once againon my private little corner of hellLittle Mikey C. Just O.D'dIn the alley just a block awayHim and my little brother used to playI watched the ambulance take him awayHis mom's gonna take it hardcause his dad just got locked awayfor 3 ta 5For a deal he felt he had to makefor his family to surviveI know the world can be so coldI know the world is so cold(I been) Hangin' on the cornerHey hey hey !I got nothing to doAnd I got nothing to loseHangin, hangin' on the cornerWasting away.Another wasted nightAnother bottle of booze, Alright!And I know that no one cares:I can see it in your empty stareswhen I tell you these tales of woeI tell you these tales of woebecause we really care.I know the world can be so coldI know the world is so coldHangin' on the cornerHey hey hey !I got nothing to doAnd I got nothing to loseHangin, hangin' on the cornerWasting away.Another wasted nightAnother bottle of booze, Alright!Down past Hayes Squareis where the wealthy dinewhere they laugh and drink fine wineWell, two blocks overis where the Sergeant diedin a hall of fire ( here we go ! )on a warm summer's nightAll you forgotten in the projectsI hear Ya'.All you numbers in the cell block:We care.All you sweatin' in the detox:We care.To all you hoods that are dodgin' cops:We care.And to all you bleedingfrom a broken heartYou know you've got a brother here.Hangin' on the cornerHey hey hey !I got nothing to doAnd I got nothing to loseHangin, hangin' on the cornerWasting away.Another wasted nightAnother bottle of booze, Alright!Hangin' in the corner.Hey hey hey !I got nothing to lose and I got nothingro prove to you.Hangin', hangin on the corner, wasting away.I pray my luck will change one day.Some day.
