The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree

Chorus:  *Dm ( all the way through)  

I hit the floor one kick no more
The pig and hose have set me free
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree

Dm              FThe inner city birthed me
G                Bb    A7The local pusher nursed me
Dm               FCousins make it on the street
 G                Bb        A7They marry every trick they meet

I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree
I've tasted hate street's hanging tree   (fade out)
