Meet the Street Free Cee

MEET THE  STREET

A dude must know the street before he or she wants to live on one
I don’t mean a house or an apartment,  i mean live on the street
You’d better know how to fight, how to surrender and when to run
And one should also practice being orderly and oh so discreet

There’s Old Man Joe and his friend Fred who seem okay
But if you own anything at all don’t turn your back on the pair
Because this ain’t just talk since I live here from day to day
And don’t come running to the other street dwellers if  you need someone to care

Ain’t no one on the street that gives a damn about you and what you need 
dudes on the street wouldn’t ebb the flow of your blood no matter how you hurt 
Ain’t no one going to bandage you when you bleed
And then there are the rich who won’t give up a buck as they treat you like dirt

So I’m giving you ample warning and the rest is all up to you
Do anything to remain in that warm comfy bed
Because I swear on everything holy that the following statement is true
If you need to live on the streets you’d better have eyes in front and in back of your head
                                    ©2011.….Phreepoetreee  ~free cee!~
