| Ayo, the library of slangs — dutches up in Ukraine
|
| Political prisoner, check the chain
|
| Out the country with my dame
|
| Televised gangsters, see me up close, nothing’s changed
|
| Gettin' top on top, bags and duffels
|
| I need the long Glock
|
| You stupid? |
| Don’t play me
|
| See 'em in drugs spots, plainclothes, all in shock
|
| Dick out, can’t even explain me
|
| I live for the moment, give to the homeless
|
| $ 20,000 TECs, cribs is a bonus
|
| You fuckin' with them niggas who bust straight
|
| Menace to society drinkin' juice in the hood, waitin'
|
| Paper made me do it, your body we’ll snatch
|
| It’s like a London flick against the Japs
|
| Sittin' at the dice table, handlin', man to man
|
| One-on-one, a hundred grand and your son
|
| In life we’re faced with obstacles
|
| We want to achieve dreams that might seem impossible
|
| The odds don’t lie, look at mine — acknowledge truth
|
| The streets raised me to be wise and honorable…
|
| Wise and honorable…
|
| The streets raise me to be wise and honorable…
|
| Wise and honorable…
|
| The streets raised me to be wise and honorable
|
| Beef and money don’t mix, invest in peace
|
| I’ve paid dues in the street, respect is my receipt
|
| Truth will set you free, except with police
|
| Be aware when you sleep or you could rest in peace
|
| I elevate poetically, I’m incredibly deep
|
| Never ball 'til you fall, capisce? |
| Stay on your feet
|
| If you were anxiously waitin' for me and Rae on the beat
|
| Be gracious, understand patience is key
|
| I once needed direction now I’m facin' the East
|
| To give praise like Mohammed
|
| Indeed Allah opened my eyes, I’m watchin' my surroundings
|
| Sharks and piranhas survive in the warmest waters
|
| Mama Sana won’t allow me to acknowledge doubters
|
| Couldn’t conceive I was built to prosper
|
| Since a teen wearin' diamond jewelry in the projects
|
| If you get knocked, housing’s gonna seize your apartment
|
| In life we’re faced with obstacles
|
| We want to achieve dreams that might seem impossible
|
| The odds don’t lie, look at mine — acknowledge truth
|
| The streets raised me to be wise and honorable…
|
| Wise and honorable…
|
| The streets raise me to be wise and honorable…
|
| Wise and honorable…
|
| The streets raised me to be wise and honorable |
