When Johnny Cash sings this he sings it like he knows:
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Ouch!
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Ouch!

killer b said:a google brings up the possibility of daz dillinger's 'eat a dicc, rick', a diss record against korrupt, which also disses crystal waters, the boo-ya tribe, and erm genesis p-orridge.
dunno if that's what your looking for though...
nope, it was a pretty big hit, and certainly wasn't any of those.
it went "the bitch got nowhere to live" over and over again, and then stuff about how "I got my education"

"Big Rock Candy Mountains" a Hobo song recorded by Harry McClintock about a guy who invents the most beautiful place to live to escape his homlessness.

uncanny alliance, 'i got my education'? early 90's house number - sample lyric: "get away from my windshield, trying to wash my window with that old dirty water, rolling your eyes in the back of yo head like you're blind, you know you can see girl! listen i'll give you a sandwich but i ain't giving you money, you might try and buy crack or sumthin with it."
the chorus is 'a bitch got nowhere to live'
how that? sounds like the right period, and the right kind of feel, i guess...
<edit - @ dub. sounds like it's definitely the right one...>

Mel C - If That Were Me
Where do they go and what do they do?
There walking on by, they're looking at you
Some people stop some people stare
But would they help you and do they care?
How
Did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Are you happy where you are?
Sleeping underneath the stars
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm
A spare bit of change is all that I give
How is that gonna help when you get no where to live?
Some turn away so they don't see
I bet you'd look if that were me
How
Did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Is it lonely where you are?
Sleeping in between the cars
When it thunders where do you hide from the storm?
Could you ever forgive my self pity?
When you got nothing and your living on the streets of the city
I couldn't live without my phone
But you don't even have a home
How
Did we fall?
Can we get up at all?
Are we happy where we are?
On our lonely little star
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?
Where do they go and what do they do?
They're walking on by, they're looking at you
They're walking on by, they're looking at you
What do i win?
Where do they go and what do they do?
There walking on by, they're looking at you
Some people stop some people stare
But would they help you and do they care?
How
Did you fall?
Did you fall at all?
Are you happy where you are?
Sleeping underneath the stars
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm
A spare bit of change is all that I give
How is that gonna help when you get no where to live?
Some turn away so they don't see
I bet you'd look if that were me
