I got my start on the street 
 With the monkey next to me he'll 
 Shake your hand for a dollar, 
 If you're nice kiss your cheek 
 To my left i can see 
 Chinese flipping bowls on their heads from their feet 
 Yo 
 Strolling on the scene 
 Are my arch-enemies 
 Break-dancers take your crowd, your girl, your money 
 Balloon man's telling me to turn down please 
 And the psychic agrees 
 I begin to see that 
    Oh i'm home, i'm right where i belong 
 And there's no where else that i'd rather be   
 Because those moments on the street 
 When crowd would rock with me 
 I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 You see all i really need 
 Are some ears to hear me dream 
 I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 Standing on the street 
 Just standing on the street   
 Trombone cuts deep through the crowd doing motown moves 
 With his hat tucked down 
 A belly dancer passes the tip jar around 
 And the men are confused, slightly aroused 
 Muslims, christians preaching, wishing 
 I would shut up so the people could listen 
 Supposed to cut through all this noise 
 With my little voice, i begin to see that   
 Oh i'm home, i'm right where i belong 
 And there's no where else that i'd rather be   
 Because those moments on the street 
 When crowd would rock with me 
 I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 All i really need 
 Are some ears to hear me dream 
 I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 Standing on the street 
 Just standing on the street   
 And the day goes dark 
 I pack my car 
 Stare out at the ocean 
 Take some time 
 A quiet smile 
 Let it all just soak in   
 Because those moments on the street 
 When crowd would rock with me 
 I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 You see all i really need for my life feel complete 
 Are some ears to hear me dream 
 Some ears to hear me dream   
 Because those moments on the street 
 When crowd would rock with me 
 I felt like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 All i really need 
 Are some ears to hear me dream 
 I feel like the biggest man, the biggest man in los angeles 
 Standing on the street, yeah 
 Just standing on the street
