When I went to school

I was nobody's fool

No good for me

I was living carefree

Staying out all night

Learning to fight

I got the dirty

I was tough, I was mean



It was up to me

Stree-stree-stree-street fighting gang



I don't need no spelling

I take my winning when I'm ready

But you wouldn't be alike

When we learn to fight

When we start to roam

Then you'd better stay home

'Cause I'm a member of the street elite

You know it's trouble to all we meet



It was up to me

Fighting through the night

Doing alright

We might take your life

Street fighting gang

Street fighting gang



If I take you out one night

And you're risking your life

If I show you the blade

You got a fool in your brain

'Cause I don't give a damn, no

'Cause I don't know you

I'm a member of the street elite

You know it's trouble to all we meet



It was up to me

Street fighting gang

Street fighting gang



I'm in a street fighting gang

Street fighting gang

I'm in a gang

The gang
