Out in the streets in every town
Everybody keeps movin' me down and down
From early morning 'til late at night
Nobody gonna give me no healthy jive
I'm getting that bad guy reaction
Status contraction all the time
Won't listen to me
You only try to put me down
Don't write my name on every wall
Go breaking window's or telephones
What sounds I rate, what moving show?
Don't classify me with no one else
I'm getting that bad guys reaction
Status contraction all the time
Won't listen to me
You only try to put me down
Don't write my name on every wall
Go breaking window's or telephones
What sounds I rate, what movie show?
Don't classify me with no one else
End this reaction
Status contraction all the time
Won't listen to me
You only try to put me down
Oh, don't think I'm stupid
Don't ever try to put me down
