Soul Street

Nathan lives at number 7
Wesley takes good care of him
Since his mother angel departed
From this world we’re in
Nathan’s father was a soldier
Died fighting Hussein
His boy became a member of the Soul Street family
Those who look down will never know
Spirit sweeter than theirs
Pain hides within
Will always be there
Who are really the rich?
Soul street
I can see the good in you
Soul Street understand
Soul street
I can feel the love in you
Soul street
Understand
Nathan only was 11
Passing for the age of 5
Side effects from the drugs in his mother
Didn’t give him a good start, no no no
Looked after by those
That some say have no hope
Touching their hearts
The people you thought were so cold
I don’t mean maybe
He gave the time for the pimps and the hoes
Sometimes they feel more than you know
You see, he realized
What no one else could do
Bringing joy to their world, ooh
Sun in their eyes, a smile alive, aahh
On Soul Street
I can see the good in you
Soul Street, understand
Soul Street
I can feel the love in you
Soul Street, understand, yeah
The rest of the world you are in front of
In a funny kind of way, ahh
Tear your home pump down
But nobody can give you more of a harder time
Than you’ve already seen
Please wait a minute
There are things inside of you
A beauty, you’ve never seen it
On Soul Street
I can see the good in you
Soul Street, understand
Soul Street
I can feel the love in you
Soul Street, understand, yeah
