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
It's okay...

The kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up
Under the neon light
Selling day for night
It's alright...

Nobody rides for free
Nobody gets it like they want it to be
Nobody hands you any guarantee
Nobody

The hearts are hard and the times are tough
Down on the boulevard the night's enough
And time passes slow
Between the store front shadows and the street lights glow

Everybody walks right by like they're safe or something
They don't know...

Nobody knows you
Nobody owes you nothin
Nobody shows you what they're thinking
Nobody baby

Hey, hey, baby
You got to watch the street, keep your feet
And be on guard
Make it pay baby
It's only time on the boulevard

The song "Boulevard" is about runaways and Hollywood Boulevard. It was partly written from the point of view of a young person on that street- a teenager- in a time of prostitution. But, Jackson also stated that it was saying you wouldn't always be that way, that there was hope and you could rise above poverty.

@badbadkingjohn the song is about male prostitution and the Golden cup was a coffee shop in Hollywood I used to hang out there I hooked for 18 years out on the streets in LA. The golden cup is no longer in business, it was a hustler hang out. Jackson must have known someone who worked the streets, or something he depicts the life of a hooker perfectly in this song.

[badbadkingjohn]

this song was written, what 25 yeas ago, with the reference to teen prostitution (aka slavery) with the lyrics "they set ones up" in particular when there were so many runaways from the midwest that it was called the minnosota strip ps the Golden Cup was or is a resturant 25 yeasr ago and it is still going on 24/7
