I read/heard somewhere that it's about the darker side of life on Hollywood Blvd. Prostitution, drugs and survival that harden the heart and break the spirit robbing a person of happiness.
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
They look at life with such disregard
They say it can't be won
The way the game is run
But if you choose to stay
You end up playing anyway
This could sum up the vicious cycle. How can you respect life when the hand dealt gives you nothing. Opportunity is for the rich. Death is the only way out so everyone living is forced to play the game with unfair rules.
Nobody rides for free
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
Nobody hands you any guarantee
Nobody knows you
Nobody owes you nothin
Nobody shows you what they're thinking
You got to watch the street, keep your feet
And be on guard
This is the attitude needed for this way of life. A cold hard approach which is good advice for survival.
