Street Life |
| I was born on the 9th month, 9th day, '70 I arrived |
| Down to earth just like my mama but LV gave me my South Park side |
| I real hustler, got game in his blood |
| Mama real too, through them I developed two kinds of love |
| One for that street life but the other for peace |
| But the two can’t live together, so inside I’m a beast |
| I’m mystified by the cash flow that I never seen |
| Partners coming up doing dirt while I’m broke living clean |
| Know what I mean? |
| Picture being on the cut walking |
| What I thought was just my conscience on the cool was just the law talking |
| Telling me I need to live my life legitimate |
| I’m in the Mr Fiends with money tryna get a hit |
| I block him out, snatch the paper, pass the rock and shout |
| «Get off my corner», any shiest manoeuvres, knock him out |
| No more school, I’m dropping out, pockets popping out |
| Everything new, me and the crew, yeah I’m talking about that. |
| Street life, hustling for a living |
| Street life, taking never giving |
| All night, tryna ease the pain I’m feeling |
| The world is making it hard on me |
| Tryna find a way to make it better |
| Knowing I- we’ve been doing this forever |
| So I’m down for whatever |
| The world is making it hard on me |
| I’m tryna turn a dollar into 15 G’s |
| Got to flip my game 360 degrees |
| Started asking myself questions, tripping, tryna soul search |
| Am I a hypocrite for putting dope money in church? |
| Through the bad I’m tryna do some good |
| This brother told me when you come up, open up a business in the hood |
| Never did ‘cause I let the streets make me hard |
| My mama threw up her hands and said, «Take me Lord» |
| When she found that sack in my room full of crack |
| She made me raise out the crib and said, «Don't come back» |
| Didn’t faze me ‘cause I knew that the game pays me |
| Mama brought me in the world but the hood raised me |
| I’m just a teen tryna live good so understand |
| Caught in-between a mind of childhood and being a man |
| I’m losing touch bur never lost the love for the game |
| My partners feel me ‘cause they going through the same in that… |
| Street life, hustling for a living |
| Street life, taking never giving |
| All night, tryna ease the pain I’m feeling |
| The world is making it hard on me |
| Tryna find a way to make it better |
| Knowing I- we’ve been doing this forever |
| So I’m down for whatever |
| The world is making it hard on me |
| Picture all them crack pipes with nobody lighting |
| Picture blacks at a club and nobody fighting |
| Picture everybody paid with no bother |
| Picture all babies growing up with a father |
| I had to stay paid so dirt was my alternative |
| Went to the Mosque, they told me that I need to learn to live |
| Positive and never disrespect my own |
| How the Hell we call ourselves grown and live at home |
| With mama starting drama talking back and throwing a fit |
| You better love her while she here ‘cause when she’s gone that’s it |
| You’re feeling like you wanna change but the chance is slim |
| You got two kids now you’re tryna live your life through them |
| Hoping they don’t make the same mistake you made and fail |
| It took them years to know it’s hard to raise a son in jail |
| Ain’t nothing new to K-Rino, man I know all about that |
| We need to unite and do right and raise up out that… |
| Street life, hustling for a living |
| Street life, taking never giving |
| All night, tryna ease the pain I’m feeling |
| The world is making it hard on me |
| Tryna find a way to make it better |
| Knowing I- we’ve been doing this forever |
| So I’m down for whatever |
| The world is making it hard on me |
