The Lyrics
Streetwise is a newspaper sold by the homeless in Chicago
He's selling StreetWise
On the streets of Chicago
StreetWise
So he can earn some daily dough
StreetWise
It only sells for a dollar
StreetWise
If you want him to not holler
It helps Chicago's homeless
Try to get off the street
Lead a more stable life
Avoid mortal defeat
Despite constant rejection
From people every day
I see the Streetwise vendor
Maintain his merry way
StreetWise
Gets his life out of a mess
StreetWise
Helps the homey not just the homeless
StreetWise
They get seventy-five cents
StreetWise
They also gain common sense
This homeless paper started
On East 13th Street
Now it is in the process
Of making lives complete
StreetWise is not just urban
It is suburban, too
Homelessness is everywhere
I want to inform you
StreetWise
StreetWise
StreetWise
Oh, StreetWise
Uh, huh
Oh, yeah.
He's selling StreetWise
On the streets of Chicago
StreetWise
So he can earn some daily dough
StreetWise
It only sells for a dollar
StreetWise
If you want him to not holler
StreetWise
StreetWise
StreetWise
Oh, StreetWise
Mmmm...mmmm
On the streets of Chicago
StreetWise

Avoid mortal defeat
Despite constant rejection
