I was in the Bronx on a strong day I you can say The beat in the street, the streetcorner The singin' in the moonlight, the light The tight Informed we can We got And [unintelligible]
Yo, when I'm inside a I'm strong, I can't go wrong, where I belong

But is the art It's better to be clean to be cleaver Clean and sober, is
My God is the Creator, not a dictator, He's the lover, My father, no other, my brother, my best Never lied to me, died for me
