little jon is on the streets late night on the ave
lookin at the pretty girls and the things he'd love to have
street life heroes don't mean zero
but that's not what he sees
sidewalk stars and fancy cars makes him week at the knees
hangin out in the midnight hour
nothing's in the kitchen but a can of beer
his father wants to fight
there's but so much he can take
he wants to get away but he doesn't wanna work
kids at school are really cruel
they tease him about his clothes
