Soul Street - Caron Wheeler

Nathan lives at number 7

Wesley takes good care of him

Since his mother angel departed

From this world we’re in

Nathan’s father was a soldier

Died fighting Hussein

His boy became a member of the Soul Street family

Those who look down will never know

Spirit sweeter than theirs

Pain hides within

Will always be there

Who are really the rich?

Soul street

I can see the good in you

Soul Street understand

Soul street

I can feel the love in you

Soul street

Understand

Nathan only was 11

Passing for the age of 5

Side effects from the drugs in his mother

Didn’t give him a good start, no no no

Looked after by those

That some say have no hope

Touching their hearts

The people you thought were so cold

I don’t mean maybe

He gave the time for the pimps and the hoes

Sometimes they feel more than you know

You see, he realized

What no one else could do

Bringing joy to their world, ooh

Sun in their eyes, a smile alive, aahh

On Soul Street

I can see the good in you

Soul Street, understand

Soul Street

I can feel the love in you

Soul Street, understand, yeah

The rest of the world you are in front of

In a funny kind of way, ahh

Tear your home pump down

But nobody can give you more of a harder time

Than you’ve already seen

Please wait a minute

There are things inside of you

A beauty, you’ve never seen it

On Soul Street

I can see the good in you

Soul Street, understand

Soul Street

I can feel the love in you

Soul Street, understand, yeah
