[Intro]
Look out

[Verse 1]
Hey man, gotta take a stand
So ya think that you've been had?
Well, I'm here to betcha, sweet's gonna getcha
'Cause 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 gonna get what's coming to ya

[Chorus]
'Cause the street giveth, yeah
And the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, wow
No way (no way) that's right, ha

[Verse 2]
Now listen
[In the?] hey man, don'tcha 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'tcha need a hand?
I ain't no blessing in disguise
Feel the agony and the ecstasy
It's gonna burn right through ya

[Chorus]
'Cause the street giveth (oh yeah)
And the street taketh away
Where there's no blind justice, no no, a-no way (no way)
No way, ow

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
A-life's too short
So a-help yourself
'Cause I don't walk on water

[Chorus]
('Cause the street giveth) Yeah
(And the street taketh away)
(Where the street giveth) No blind justice, there's no blind justice, no
(And the street taketh away) Taketh away

('Cause the street giveth) It giveth away
(And the street taketh away) The street taketh away
(Where the street giveth) So watch your ass, man
(And the street taketh away) Yeah, taketh away, taketh away
('Cause the street giveth) It giveth away
(And the street taketh away) Nooh-no
('Cause where the street giveth)
(As the street taketh away) It taketh away
('Cause the street giveth...)
