| I could be somewhere in the cold
|
| Where dreams come and go
|
| Out there in the streets with no hope
|
| Or a place where they know
|
| Not to trust
|
| What good would that be
|
| And they know
|
| Not to love
|
| What good would that be
|
| What good would that be
|
| Would you like me if I had a gun
|
| Dodging cops always on the run now
|
| Getting caught up over petty drama
|
| Selling drugs to somebody’s momma
|
| I’m telling you these streets ain’t
|
| These streets ain’t so pretty
|
| I swear everything that glitters ain’t gold
|
| These streets ain’t
|
| These streets ain’t so pretty
|
| I’ve been loving these streets but I don’t wanna love these streets no more
|
| They know nothing
|
| About bullet holes and that silence, they don’t wanna know
|
| Looking at that judge
|
| Thinking that he got you this time
|
| They don’t wanna know
|
| Talking to your loved ones through a window
|
| Days, hours, minutes winding down real slow, real slow
|
| Would you like me if I had a gun
|
| Dodging cops always on the run now
|
| Getting caught up over petty drama
|
| Selling drugs to somebody’s momma
|
| I’m telling you these streets ain’t
|
| These streets ain’t so pretty
|
| I swear everything that glitters ain’t gold
|
| These streets ain’t
|
| These streets ain’t so pretty
|
| I’ve been loving these streets but I don’t wanna love these streets no more
|
| I can’t sign out
|
| Get pulled back when I climb out
|
| It won’t let me go
|
| It won’t let me go
|
| Took me long enough to find out that time out just saved my soul
|
| I remember all the pain that the game caused me
|
| I remember falling down, falling down to my knees
|
| Praying I won’t be the next one, to fall to these streets
|
| Would you like me if I had a gun
|
| Dodging cops always on the run now
|
| Getting caught up over petty drama
|
| Selling drugs to somebody’s momma
|
| I’m telling you these streets ain’t
|
| These streets ain’t so pretty
|
| I swear everything that glitters ain’t gold
|
| These streets ain’t
|
| These streets ain’t so pretty
|
| I’ve been loving these streets but I don’t wanna love these streets no more |
