Word On the Street
"The Word on the street"
Rumors and thoughts that r incomplete
"The Word" will knock u off ur feet,
Without missing a beat
"The Word" is something u can't defeat
One day "The Word" can flatter
The next day it will shatter
The truth u know is all that matters
"The Word" is just clatter
U know, noise and chatter
There isn't a grain of salt big enough
Believe "The Word" if u r stupid enough
"The Word" can make life tough
According to "The Word" u like it rough
Like whips and handcuffs
But u didn't here it from me
"The Word" can destroy lives and families
In one ear and right out the other
If it isn't seen, don't bother
It's hard not to listen when "they" talk lies & deceit
Beware the word on the street
