Don’t waste time by complaining They live like most others wouldn’t dare Sliding like snakes through the alleys They’re raising hell everywhere
Fighting so hard survive
One of the boys didn’t make it A subway rat shot him dead The story goes on and on With blood the streets are painted red
When they take to the streets Look out You better run and hide
Street-struttin’ sinners That promise to deliver A night to fear for you life
Rough boys Don’t bring ‘em down They’re not toys You don’t push ‘em around Rough boys They’ll put you deep underground You’ll never get out alive When you’re dealing with The rough boys
They’ve got sweet talkin’ honeys With an eye for the finer things in life Licking blood-red lips they speak their minds With a flash of knife
Over here, over there Running fast, running scared Watch out No time to spare
Rough boys are in town They’ll turn it upside down The fight goes on To again a piece of ground
