Put a Flower in Your Pocket

The city street is hot The heat is escalating Every corner in the town There's a paycheck waiting Put a flower in your pocket If you see them boy you drop it And you run Run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you Just for fun Fun If they're gunning for you boy You've already won I had a dream today About a hustler lost He paid his dues Then he paid the cost Wish I knew back then All I know right now Things would be much different Than time has allowed Put a flower in your pocket If you see them boy you drop it And you run Run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you Just for fun Fun If they're gunning for you boy You've already won With tired eyes And bills to pay You gotta make it through Another day The streets can see Into your soul It ain't where ya been But where you're gonna go Put a flower in your pocket If you see them boy you drop it And you run Run They may pretend they like you But man's best friend will bite you Just for fun Fun If they're gunning for you boy You've already won
