lyrics

Back in 86 when
the thing was the mix
I said man, get out of the way
let me get me a fix

Went down the corner
to the cab stand
the line was going
all the way to the end

Avenue C was dark as shit
I looked for a spot between 4 and 6
but didn’t have the cash to blow…
Oh, oh, I see
So, I got the bitch and did it in
Fuck it!

I looked up and there he was
Spiderman was climbing the wall
Hey man!
He looked down and smiled
He didn’t bother me at all
Have a nice time bro.

Between Crazy and Dead
we’re moving ahead
sleeping on the floor
and looking for more
we didn’t have a cent
we didn’t pay the rent
it didn’t matter ‘cause
it was all in the air.
Pussy, blow, tortillas,
it was all part a big show

Three-gun shots a day was the play
and it smelled like shit. Ummm
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Fuck the police!
Cabrón!!
Play that horn man!

Same shit as it’s always been
in an out like a laser beam
24/7 it’s a dog day
it’s gotta be part of our DNA

Down the corner they’re selling away
take it or leave it. It’s on display
Seven to Life
on the Lower East Side

Between crazy and dead
we’re looking ahead
No time to blow
gotta keep the flow
Any other way
would take us away
Fuck the system
All we gotta do is play!
