| I know what I’ve seen
|
| I know what I can’t forget
|
| I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I’m so tired of selling drugs
|
| Hustlin' and bustin' guns
|
| But I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I started out never lookin' back on my past
|
| Living like the world around me was about to crash
|
| I never had shit but a dream and a blunt in my pocket…
|
| No hope but the roach that burns out when I drop it
|
| I don’t give a damn about a pig
|
| I’m breakin' the law
|
| Go get the pistol at your crib
|
| I got two in my draws
|
| I been packin' a piece since I stood four foot tall
|
| Never trusted a busta with a bigger mouth than his balls
|
| Sixteen as a runnaway
|
| Gang war gun play
|
| Seventeen lettin' shots blow on the highway
|
| Eighteen feelin' as hard as God
|
| Nineteen lookin' at a punk judge on a gun charge
|
| I ain’t beggin' bitch
|
| Put me in jail…
|
| Look at where the hell I’m at now
|
| I’m living in hell
|
| What’s life? |
| I end up dead or incarcerated
|
| With free room and board
|
| Saying «look mom I made it…
|
| And I hate it»
|
| I know what I’ve seen
|
| I know what I can’t forget
|
| I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I’m so tired of selling drugs
|
| Hustlin' and bustin' guns
|
| But I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I bought four or five Zs with my cash
|
| And now I got four or five tweakers on my ass
|
| Every single one wants a gram or two
|
| But that’s how that powder do when them fools finally choose to live like them
|
| junkies do
|
| They was born to lose
|
| But I was born to profit
|
| What you lookin' for cause I bet you that I got it
|
| I got that powder
|
| Let them eat it
|
| Then convince them that they need it
|
| They believe it and you’re seein' profits rising like a penis
|
| I ain’t got no truck on 24's
|
| Ain’t got no spinnin' rims or no Lamborgini doors…
|
| I’ve always been poor
|
| But I will let you know
|
| I got a 44 and I bet I’ll let it blow
|
| Dead cold
|
| Nobody heard it when your ass was gettin' murdered
|
| So I leave that stinky body in a building that’s deserted
|
| How perverted and absurd of me to kill you undeservedly
|
| But in time there’s sure to be a reason to occur to me…
|
| I know what I’ve seen
|
| I know what I can’t forget
|
| I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I’m so tired of selling drugs
|
| Hustlin' and bustin' guns
|
| But I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I lost everything I had so fast
|
| And seen young lives shattered like broken glass
|
| Life ain’t fair
|
| So it seems
|
| But I know what it means to be a child and let a bad decision kill your dreams
|
| One minute on the corner sellin' them sacks
|
| The next minute you’ve lost years you can never get back
|
| Everybody makes mistakes homez
|
| But fuck it…
|
| Ain’t everybody blessed to get the chance to learn from it
|
| I’m a man now
|
| I understand now that life’s hard
|
| But it’s all in God’s hands now
|
| I find comfort in knowin' I’m blind
|
| But still seein' that His hand’s a lot bigger than mine
|
| They can take my life from me
|
| Put two in my chest
|
| But if I died for a reason then they’re only killing my flesh
|
| If I can rise above this wrong I was taught to repeat
|
| They can’t judge me for only ever knowin' These Streets
|
| I know what I’ve seen
|
| I know what I can’t forget
|
| I don’t know nothing but these streets
|
| I’m so tired of selling drugs
|
| Hustlin' and bustin' guns
|
| But I don’t know nothing but these streets |
