I gotta hustle for a dollar oh like the others downtown I'm gonna sell my gold filling oh for a shilling downtown I'm always looking up when I'm walking downtown at them shiny shiny buildings the one's that reflect the clouds at them shiny shiny buildings you and me ain't allowed at them shiny shiny buildings a little closer to god Now the heat's gettin' to me let's go somewhere else There's only one place to go when the sun go down to the fisherman's pier oh down by the ocean you don't need no money oh down by the ocean It's all white, black and brown down by the ocean we'll watch the sun and the moon pass the baton then a midnight kiss it's time to be moving on I take the blue line baby oh to Compton It's a long long wait in Compton and excuse me Mr. oh have you heard of the lord? I guess I got time you can pray for my soul I take the green line baby it's just one bus more oh Mr. Bus driver lady oh please take me home to the city of good neighbor down in Hawthorne I'm gonna lie with my baby down in Hawthorne All the good neighbors down in Hawthorne All the good baby's down in Hawthorne All the fine lady's down in Hawthorne All my main homey's down in Hawthorne All my good eatin' down in Hawthorne All my good sleepin down in Hawthorne All the good neighbors down in Hawthorne All my good neigbors down in Hawthorne

I'm diggin for gold on the moon in the cold in the town in the town in the town I'm lost and I'm found in the things I have known now there gone now there gone now there gone I'm slipping away from the friends I have made in the town in the town in the town I'm moving so slow I just got to get going in the town in the town in the town I'm singing along with the birds and the stone in the town in the town in the town I'm digging around through things I have found in the town in the town in the town I'm licking the clouds on the wrong side of town in the town in the town in the town Morning beers in the park drinking by the aqueduct sunshine break the dark Baby deer and shopping carts found souls sleeping in the park morning break the dark Sunshine in your blood shot eyes all we found through days gone by morning break the dark No where left for this to go I guess I'll just start walking home sunshine in my heart

Give it up for the old man broken and poor he walks through the day and he sleeps on the floor Give it up for the children the children of war I saw them on t.v I see them at home Give it up for the sunrise over the hill I know it brings something it gives me a chill Give it up for the birdies the birds in sky they sing through the winter they sing through my life Give it up give it up don't give it away I know you got something you been hiding today Give it up give it up don't give it away I know you got something you been trying to say I know something you might know know to Give it up give it up and give it away I went with the sunrise I went all away I know someone you might know to Give it up give it up and give it away I went with the sunrise I went out to play I know somewhere you might know to Give it up give it up and give it away I went with the sunrise I ran all away I know something you might know to Give it up give it up and give it away I went with the sunrise x3
