| Them streets don’t love you, them streets don’t love you
|
| Them streets don’t love you, them streets don’t love you
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Man, the streets don’t love you, the streets don’t love you
|
| Time and time again, have to tell 'em everyday
|
| Then I get up on my knees, then I pray
|
| Then I go and get cheese, tryna get up out the streets
|
| Everyday I hustle like a beast
|
| Everyday I go and I gotta eat
|
| If you don’t work, don’t eat, don’t sleep
|
| Loyalty equal royalty and hopefully with royalty it come bring peace
|
| I been through it all, I’ll survive
|
| Even when they hated on me, never lost pride
|
| Even when they doubted me, I never lost stride
|
| Went in overdrive and I went and got the prize
|
| I do not trust these suckas
|
| Snitches in the gang, they never loved us
|
| These women switchin' and changin' lovers
|
| Just to sleep on them Versace covers
|
| All I know is I just did it
|
| All I know is I’m committed
|
| All I know is I be winnin'
|
| Stayed down from the beginnin'
|
| Proper preparation prevent poor performance |
| I’m just followin' my literature
|
| Speakin' to 'em like a minister
|
| Two of everything, they identical
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Man, the streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Everybody from by my hood went to Pops' Church
|
| Got saved, some stayed, some backstabbed
|
| You already know how the clock works
|
| So I hit the block with the pot work
|
| My cousin Ray Ray had the Glock work
|
| The flea market had the cut, corner store had the bags
|
| Sorry, mom, made the block hurt
|
| I was caught up heavy listen I was tryna flip a chicken
|
| And stackin' money to the ceilin', that’s how that work
|
| I’m tryna be a legend, but my mind’s blurred
|
| 'Til I got a stop sign, to the cell block
|
| And I took time and realized and observed
|
| This a part of life you never get told, bruh
|
| Live from the open big dorms and door route
|
| I still flashback, honest B
|
| And I kept it one trill, and how I made through honestly |
| I been home five, 'bout to be home six
|
| See others who never went still strugglin' for a rent
|
| Bein' doin' real good 'bout to hit the strip
|
| Cause it feelin' like a boss off of one hit
|
| I remember, it was like a rush I never felt
|
| Woke up sober in a prison cell
|
| That’ll get you thinkin' 'bout your life quick
|
| Wonder if your people gon' remember you when you locked in
|
| You say you 'bout that life, here’s a pop quiz
|
| And I’m still 'gon stay on topic
|
| When from straight drop to drop hits
|
| This that off grade, and you don’t even know that it was comin'
|
| Cause it gotta be a? |
| and Cap will make a record, right
|
| This here not for the high blood pressure type
|
| But for the humble that’s gon' take a heed, listen up
|
| Streets don’t love you, and you don’t gotta commit to 'em
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Them streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you
|
| Man, the streets don’t love you, man, the streets don’t love you |
| My brother took a L and numbed to the face
|
| Brother took a loss, yeah, he lost a case
|
| Streets don’t love you, no that’s not the case
|
| No that’s not the vibe? |

|
| This is more than just a rapper pourin' out his heart through a mic
|
| And I know y’all ain’t used to this
|
| My guy hopped off that crucifix
|
| I wrote this for the kid on the train on your way to connect
|
| The connect, and cop you some bricks
|
| Motivation, how you should get
|
| Work smart, not hard, what I used to think
|
| Everything ain’t easy, this gon' take time
|
| This here more than music, supercedes rhyme
|
| This be that flow that be askin' me, «How does he do it?»
|
| But this here’s gift, I don’t question it
|
| It comes from the Lord and I rap in His name
|
| So who would I be if
|
| I ain’t mention it, Fernie
|
| You started to believe the statements that have been spoken over your life.
|
| You started to believe all the lies that he’s been feeding you.
|
| I mean, at first you were able to handle it. |
| But after the thirtieth time,
|
| after fortieth time, after the sixtieth time, you started to believe that you |
| were too stupid, that you were too weak, that you didn’t have anything going
|
| for you. |
| And God just wanted to remind you that none of that is true.
|
| You are His child, and you are His creation. |
| He knitted you together in your
|
| mother’s womb. |
| He pieced you together bit by bit. |
| You belong to Him.
|
| You may not know your parents, you may not know your mom or your daddy,
|
| but you have a Father in heaven who loves you. |
| Please believe He calls you His
|
| own. |
| You are His child |
