Beat the Street [Remix] Lyrics by Sharon Redd

Redd Hott

1982

There's a time work and time for play
Let's get it straight
Can't be running, shooting, gunning and [?]
Gotta beat the street
Beat it
Once upon a time
I had a dream (Beat the street, beat the street)
We made it through the hardest times
I had my mind scream
Gotta beat the street, you gotta beat the street (Beat the street beat the street, beat the street beat the street)
Gotta beat the street, you gotta beat the street (Beat the street beat the street, beat the street beat the street)
(Beat the street)
It's a shame to waste your life out on the busy avenue
It's a shame, it's a shame
Baby [?] [?] [?] [?] [?] [?] (Better watch out, you better watch out)
Move on to somewhere that's real, do it now, you've got to make it
(Beat the street beat the street)
(Beat the street beat the street)
People running, people gunning, hustling
People running, people gunning, hustling
We made it through the hardest times don't you fall, don't you fall
Now it's the time to get it straight, yeah get it straight
Gotta beat the street, you gotta beat the street (Beat the street beat the street, beat the street beat the street)
Gotta beat the street, you gotta beat the street (Beat the street beat the street, beat the street beat the street)
(Beat it)
(Beat it)
There's a time for work and a time for play
We made it through the hardest times don't you fall
You've got to make it, you can be there, (Beat the street beat the street) cause it's your life (Beat the street beat the street, beat the street beat the street)
You've got only one life to live, don't you waste it
No gunning, no hustling, before it's too late (Beat the street, beat the street, beat the street, beat the street, beat the street, beat the street)
(Beat it)
