  • We all wear our hunger on our heart
    In the cold blooded academy of ghetto streets
    It ain't treason if it's a good reason
    We're only as real as the promises we keep
    The strength of the wolf lies in the pack
    And the loneliness can get you in trouble
    Let's go feed the vultures down in this concrete jungle

    There's a flag of inconvenience
    That flies above this town
    Where they build you up to touch the sky
    Before they bring you down

    You gotta live with a killer instinct
    You gotta die a little to survive
    You gotta love with a killer instinct
    You gotta hurt a little to get by

    The streets have burned since midnight
    There's tension in the air
    Another waste of time and life in another warlord's lair
    Just one more shot in the mainline
    Straighter than a preacher's dream
    All the animals come out at night
    It's a sundown primal scene

    There's a flag of inconvenience
    That flies above this town
    Where they build you up to touch the sky
    Before they bring you down

    You gotta live with a killer instinct
    You gotta die a little to survive
    You gotta love with a killer instinct
    You gotta hurt a little to get by

    There's no saints in the wild kingdom
    You gotta prowl like a beast of prey
    You gotta live with a killer instinct
    You gotta die a little everyday

    You gotta live with a killer instinct
    You gotta die a little to survive
    You gotta love with a killer instinct
    You gotta hurt a little to get by

    You gotta live with a killer instinct
    You gotta die a little to survive
    You gotta love with a killer instinct
    You gotta hurt a little to get by Writer/s: DAMON JOHNSON, RICHARD DESMOND WARWICK
