If I can bake it there
If I can make it there
If I can make it clear
If I can make it there
If I can make it fair
If I can make it there
If I can make it here
If I can make it there
If I can rape you there
If I can make it there
If I get naked there
I get naked anywhere
If I can make it there
I can make it anywhere
On the avenue, there ain't never a perfume, ladies weren't so hard
Such a melting pot,
On the corner sailing rock creatures pray to God.
On the avenue, there ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot,
On the corner selling rock, preachers pray to God
Put your ladders in the air, everybody say
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
See my face in lights or my name in Monkey phlegm down on Broadway
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
See my facing lights and I'll maim the monkeys found down on Broadway
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Seeing my face in lights or the raving monkeys found down on Broadway
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
Seeing my fate in lights or my mate on monkeys found down on Broadway.
Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on Broadway
