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
