I've been to many places, I've seen many faces   Soft and hard, battle scarred, I've seen prison bars   Not for long, but long enough to write this song   Right or wrong, I'm a product of a battle zone      Lower east side where it's not pretty   'Cause I see many talkin', but can they really walk it?   On the west side they show no pity      See you walkin' around you're bound by only fantasies   Thinking you're hard, you know that's not reality   We all see, we know you're just a wannabe   So fool the world but you can't fool me      In my home, alone and on these streets   I've seen beefs and walked with heat   What does it all mean to me?   Not a thing, if I don't live to write and sing   About the life, about strife, about everything      Lower east side where it's not pretty   'Cause I see many talkin', but can they really walk it?   On the west side they show no pity      See you walkin' around you're bound by only fantasies   Thinking you're hard, you know that's not reality   We all see, we know you're just a wannabe   So fool the world but you can't fool me      Walkin' around you're bound by only fantasies   Thinking you're hard, you know that's not reality   We all see, we know you're just a wannabe   So fool the world but you can't fool me      I've seen you come and go, all you tough guy clones   When will you leave it alone?   I've seen you come and go, all you tough guy clones   You're all from front street, better keep it moving kid   You don't know what you're doing here      Lower east side where it's not pretty   'Cause I see many talkin', but can they really walk it?   On the west side they show no pity      See you walkin' around you're bound by only fantasies   Thinking you're hard, you know that's not reality   We all see, we know you're just a wannabe   So fool the world but you can't fool me      Walkin' around, you're bound by only fantasies   Thinking you're hard, you know that's not reality   We all see, we know you're just a wannabe   So fool the world, but you can't fool me      Fool the world, but you can't fool, you can't fool me   Fool the world, but you can't fool, you can't fool me   Fool the world, but you can't fool, you can't fool me   Fool the world, but you can't fool me
