Growing Up In These Streets |
Word to mama, man, damn |
Tryna get the fuck up outta there, huh? |
It’s real life, man |
Just gotta keep your head in the right direction, |
Don’t play with these niggas out here |
Gotta be strong though |
Only the strong survive, you heard? |
Real rap, The Chef, yeah |
Hey, yo |
From blazin' chandeliers on throats, we gangstas with hope |
With trappers in traffic, there’s land on the coast |
Pipelines be pumpin' nighttime with kilos dispersed |
A bulletproof hearse in back of the church, see they grind |
The timeline won’t even last, they 25's, quick to spaz |
Yeah, then flip on that ass |
The block’s burnin' |
Narcs and sharks, thugs and drugs |
Clogs and knots and rocks and parks |
Hold your slime, I need money |
But hate bein' the stickup kid |
'Cause what I did could have cost me a whole lifetime |
And everybody knowin' everybody |
Niggas in front of the lobbies until bodies drop |
How he got lined? |
Keep it movin', keep your loved ones movin' |
See, we started a movement |
I guess we Grand Groovin', y’all |
Checks the shines until then we fine |
Cash rule everything around mine in the mind |
Now rewind, yo |
What is it? |
Real-life |
Huh, traumatizin' |
Word up |
Concrete jungle |
The real question is |
What I didn’t see, ha ha |
Uh |
Days to decades, the drugs raids to sex craze |
From Fruits Loops and leche made it to head jefe |
Fiends on check day, murder scenes when the TEC spray |
The segue, you gotta have sight beyond the X-ray |
Pump shotties, slump bodies in front lobbies |
Young hotties gettin' drunk hoppin' in Mazzies |
Blunt robberies, niggas owin', tip toein', it’s sick |
Been in the mix since Slick Rick flowin', legit |
Lost for words when they offed the homie Surge on the jooks |
My whole outlook on life was blurred |
Them corner curves just bein' there, ain’t even fair |
And as far as leavin' there, if you do, I don’t even care |
Seen it all from Sutter Ave to Seton Hall |
East Elmhurst to Eaton wall, we grieve and more |
Same song just sets changin', rep claimin' |
From sellin' crack to rap, I kept aimin' |
Yeah, Kay Slay shit, baby |
Let’s go in |
Shootouts, unexplainable murders where shit runs deep |
Late-night commotions, the neighbors can’t sleep |
That’s why I pose in the flicks with my heat, one deep |
I got burners all over the place like a song leak |
My man open arms for a hug, I’m reachin' |
I gotta tell myself take your hand off the grip, they greetin' (Get off the gun, |
man) |
Automatic spit like a dumb bitch with a tongue ring |
It’s classic like them DAT machines up in King (Woo) |
Death before dishonor, we pray for your mama |
She don’t never have to pick a killer’s face in a lineup (Nah) |
His criminal lawyer, his face resembles a young Oscar De La Hoya |
This kid’s attorney is torture |
In these streets, dust heads big bags of |
Like a skeleton sucked in, they bones is weak |
Miss ya, ATF come through swingin' that big shit |
No Popeyes, they here to put two in your biscuit |
