Chaka Khan - Street Player lyrics

I'd never forget those nameless years

Street sounds whirling through my mind

Trouble was often in the air

So we thought to forget our despair

Cause I'm a street player

And I play you a song (Play me a song, play me a song)

Cause my heart and soul

Will carry, carry on

City life's the only way

Street corners and billiard halls

Was my home away

Lesson's learned that still help me today

Cause I'm a street player

And I've seen it all (play me a song, play me a song)

Hit men and thieves and many a brawl

But as you will see I still stand tall

It was such a small space and time

I would never knew that I would find

A musical past for all to see exciety to ecstasy

I am a streetplayer

I am a streetplayer

I am a streetplayer

Cause I'm a street player

And I've seen it all (play me a song, play me a song)

...........................

But as you can see I still stand tall

It was such a small space and time

I would never knew that I would find

A musical past for all to see exciety to ecstasy

I am a streetplayer

I am a streetplayer

I am a streetplayer

Cause I'm a street player

And I've seen it all (Play me a song, play me a song)

The people love your soul

Don't let them down

Play your guitar

Play that funky music, child
