Ghetto fight yah don't wanna start a riot yet No not alone or in these clothes But they just won't listen to me Maybe I'm too young or down right naive Ain't got no time for your rigid rules Ain't got no time for the gutter or to booze I made the escape to L.A. I can't just run away I got to think about tomorrow and the very next day Ghetto fight yah don't wanna start a riot yet No not alone or in these clothes The old town wanted me to stay But I knew that it's only gonna have it's way They scrub the streets 'cause they're filthy Can't trust no one 'cause they're all guilty So I sit and overheat surrounded by the sound of the city street Red light on the wall now it makes me think about Who got the culprit and who got the shake What you gonna do when you're thrown back in jail Don't worry 'bout the rent now you gotta pay bail There's that girl down on Nuclear Blvd. Got a guy outside her window and he's beating up the yard He can't sleep on the street Here come the HBT They're gonna give him the sweep
