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



He was Little Jon

He slipped away

He was Little Jon

Slipped away

He was Little Jon

He slipped away

He was Little Jon

End today



Hangin out in the midnight hour, comin home late at night

Nothing's in the kitchen but a can of beer, his father wants to fight

He's not ready, he's not ready for this, there's but so much he can take

He wants to get away but he doesn't wanna work, lookin for a easy break



He was Little Jon

He slipped away

He was Little Jon

Slipped away

He was Little Jon

He slipped away

He was Little Jon

End today



Kids at school are really cruel, they tease him about his clothes

His shoes are worn, his coat is torn, he's hungry and it shows

He can't take it, he says,
