[Intro]
Dm F G Bb A Dm
[Verse]
Dm F
Woman please be gone
G Bb A
You've stayed here much too long
Dm F
Don't you wish that you could cry
G Bb A
Don't you wish I would die
Dm F
Seamy, seesaw kids
G Bb A
Childwoman on the skids
Dm F
The dust will choke you blind
G Bb A
The lust will choke your mind
[Chorus]
Dm
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
Dm
The pig and hose have set me free
Dm
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
Dm
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
[Verse]
Dm F
The inner city birthed me
G Bb A
The local pusher nursed me
Dm F
Cousins make it in the street
G Bb A
Marry every trick they meet
Dm F
A dime a dollar they're all the same
G Bb A
When a man comes in to bust your game
Dm F
The Turn key comes his face a grin
G Bb A
Locks the cell I'm in again
[Chorus]
Dm
I kiss the floor, one kick no more
Dm
The pig and hose have set me free
Dm
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
Dm
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
