[Lyric] Street Life (Joe Sample, Lalah Hathaway)

[Intro]
I still hang around
Neither lost nor found
You're the lonely sound
A music in the night
Nights are always bright
That's all that's left for me, yeah yeah

[Refrain]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life

[Verse 1]
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
It's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
[Refrain]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life

[Verse 2]
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel, for a dime
Street life
But you better not gеt old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold

[Bridge]
You lеt the people see
Just who you wanna be
And every night you shine
Just like a superstar
The time my life has played
A temptin' masquerade
You dress you walk you talk
You're who you think you are

[Refrain]
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
Street life, street life

[Verse 3]
I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
'Cause it's the only life I know
Where there's a thousand cards to play
Street life
Until you play your life away

[Outro]
Street life, street life
Yeah, yeah
Street life, street life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Street life, street life
Hmm
Street life, street life
Street life, street life
