[Verse 1]
I got my start on the street
With a monkey next to me
Shake you hand for a dollar
If you're nice, kiss your cheek
To my left I can see Chinese
Flipping bowls to their head from there feet (yo)
Strolling on the scene
Are my arch enemies
Break dancers take your crowd, your girl, your money
Balloon man's telling to turn down please
And the psychic agrees
I begin to see that

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh oh
I'm home
I'm right where I belong
And there's nowhere else I'd rather be

[Chorus]
Because those moments on the street
When the crowd will rock with me
I felt like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
All I really need
Are some ears to hear me dream
I'll feel like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
Standing on the street
Just standing in the street

[Verse 2]
A trombone cuts deep through the crowd
Doing motown moves with his hat tucked down
A belly dancer passes the tip jar around
And the men are confused, slightly aroused
Muslims, Christians preaching
Wishing I would shut up so the people could listen
I'm s'posed to cut through all this noise
With my little voice
I begin to see that

[Pre- Chorus]
Oh oh
I'm home
I'm right where I belong
And there's nowhere else I'd rather be

[Chorus]
Because those moments on the street
When the crowd will rock with me
I felt like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
All I really need
Are some ears to hear me dream
I'll feel like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
Standing on the street
Just standing in the street

[Bridge]
And the day goes dark
I pack my car
And stare out at the ocean
Take some time
A quiet smile
Let it all just soak in

Because those moments on the street
When the crown will rock with me
I felt like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
You see, all I really need
For my life to feel complete
Are some e-ears to hear me dream
Some ears to hear me dream

[Chorus]
Yes, those moments on the street
When the crowd will rock with me
I felt like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
All I really need
Are some ears to hear me dream
I'll feel like the biggest man
The biggest man in Los Angeles
Standing on the street
Yeah

Just standing on the street, oh
Just standing on the street
Just standing on the street
