I never wanted to be a bad girl

Even when all odds were against me.

Poverty was my family's sad situation.

Disgraced everyday; we were always in the mud

They say you have a flawless skin and a beautiful face, join us; 

The loud voice of the street calling my name.

If you cannot beat them, join them.

I wanted to fight them or maybe just ignore them

But, Mr landlord has given me ten days.

Will I let poverty win again ?

No, I will rather lose to the street.

The Streets
