[Intro]
Look out

[Verse 1]
Hey man, got to take a stand, so you think that you've been had?
Well, I'm here to bet you, street's going to get you, two out of three ain't bad
Hey man, it's getting out of hand, cross your heart and hope to die, yeah
You got yours, I got mine, I'm going to get what's coming to you

[Chorus]
Because the street giveth (yeah), and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, wow, no way
That's right
Ha!

[Verse 2]
Now listen
Hey man, don't you understand? You can run, but you can't hide
There ain't no life after death, so save your breath, you're gonna
Be a rock and roll suicide
Hey man, don't you need a hand? I ain't no blessing in disguise
Feel the agony and the ecstasy, it's going to burn right through you

[Chorus]
Because the street giveth (oh yeah), and the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no, no, no way, no way, ow
[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Life's too short, so help yourself, because I don't walk on water

[Chorus]
Because the street giveth (yeah), and the street taketh away
Because the street giveth, (no blind justice, there's no blind justice, no) and the street taketh away
Because the street giveth, (taketh away, it giveth away) and the street taketh away
(The street taketh away)
Because the street giveth, (so watch your ass, man) and the street taketh away
(Yeah, it taketh away)
Because the street giveth, (it giveth away) and the street taketh away
Because the street giveth, ('Cause the street giveth) and the street taketh away
(It taketh away)
Because the street giveth...
