Raindrops falling softly as I walk on down the road
Neon lights flicker reflecting on my leather coat
A black guy passes me by, he's looking kinda high
When I'm reaching for a smile, I see that strange look in his eye
Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain
You're out there in Compton
Do you still remember my name?
I couldn't hear what he said but I suddenly realized
Thousands thoughts go through my head while his steps they follow mine
A woman must be crazy to be out this time at night
Unless she's looking for some business, unless she's feeling real uptight
Here I am in Philadelphia
And I'm walking in the rain
You're out there in Compton
