Crime in the streets

I read about it everyday in the papers

Justice needs and justice wants

But just in times, yes, too late here

Feels like I wasn't born there

I feel just like a Boogie Pilgrim

Boogie Pilgrim

Hustled to get it

To get it together

Down on the jive talk

Down on the weather

Boogie Pilgrim

Brother I never felt better

No, I never felt better



Low life's complete

When you've lived that way out on the sidewalk

(Walking on the sidewalk everyday)

I got the speed if you got the need

But the need in me needs nothing

(But you know that I need nothing)

But I know that you all want something

Just like Boogie Pilgrim
