Blaxploitation

[Intro] (Shaft!) [Verse 1] Brown leather coat Collar turned high Walks through the block Like the law in his eyes Name on the corners Painted in slang Heard in the whispers Rolled in the gang [Chorus] He’s the theme from the streets Walks like a rumor with feet If there’s trouble in the heat He’s the theme from the streets (oh yeah) When the city holds its breath He’s the one they send to test Love him Fear him when you meet He’s the theme from the streets [Verse 2] Cards on the table Pistol and pride Deals in the shadows Truth on his side Takes what you’re hiding Hands you your past Smiles like a warning Cool But it lasts [Chorus] He’s the theme from the streets Walks like a rumor with feet If there’s trouble in the heat He’s the theme from the streets (hey!) When the city holds its breath He’s the one they send to test Love him Fear him when you meet He’s the theme from the streets [Outro] Blaxploitation
