I C&Ped that from some website, Cash.

 

I'm sure some of it is inaccurate. But, everybody makes claims of "prior art" when it comes to inventions.

Perhaps you've heard the claims: Were it not for the genius and energy of African-American inventors, we might find ourselves in a world without traffic lights, peanut butter, blood banks, light bulb filaments, and a vast number of other things we now take for granted but could hardly imagine life without.

I play the street life

Because there's no place I can go

Street life

It's the only life I know

Street life

And there's a thousand cards to play

Street life

Until you play your life away

 

You never people see

Just do you wanna be

And every night you shine

Just like a superstar

The type of life that's played

A temptin' masquerade

You dress you walk you talk

You're who you think you are

 

Street life

You can run away from time

Street life

For a nickel, for a dime

Street life

But you better not get old

Street life

Or you're gonna feel the cold

 

There's always love for sale

A grown up fairy tale

Prince charming always smiles

Behind a silver spoon

And if you keep it young

Your song is always sung

Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

 

Street life, street life, street life, oh street life

Hmm, Yeah, oh

 

I play the street life

Because there's no place I can go

Street life

It's the only life I know

Street life

There's a thousand cards to play

Street life

Until you play your life away

Oh !

 

Street life, street life, street life, oh street life...

 

 

 

 

When I was younger I used to think she was singing streetlight

and I always wondered why she was singing about a streetlight, was she a lady of the night?

No

No she wasn't!, because she was not singing about walking around late at night by a streetlight!

She was singing about Street Life!

 

Ah youth and misapprehension
