|
Up early in the morning lacin up my british knights |
|
Throwin up my deuce sign, fuckin with the street life |
|
Never knew no better cause my mommy never taught me |
|
Going out to get the shit that mommy never bought me |
|
Only ten years old and i can't stay away from trouble |
|
But you don't give a fuck cause you ain't never had to struggle |
|
And everybody's tellin me its get greater later |
|
I need to get my shit right now, cause it ain't shit in my refrigerator |
|
And i done struggled for my whole life |
|
Seeing my moma layed up with a different nigga everynight |
|
And when you see me you can spot a crook |
|
Cause i'm going through her motherfuckin pocket book |
|
I'm going out to get my papes |
|
Cause she don't give a fuck about me anyway |
|
And my daddy's doing two terms |
|
And all she ever does is sit around and get served |
|
My mommy never hugs me |
|
I'm callin deuce my family, cause these niggas say they love me |
|
I'm steady dustin chumps off |
|
And ready for the battle if the shit would ever jump off |
|
So send my ass to hell |
|
Its eithr being covered up with some dirt, or boxed in a cell |
|
Anyway that's what it looks like |
|
If i don't hurry up and get my ass up out the street life |
|
Chorus: (spoken) |
|
You know the streets is all i know |
|
This is my way of survival |
|
You know i've been dealt some bad cards |
|
But i gots to play them |
|
What else am i to do, look for a job? |
|
But until them my family will starve and be broke |
|
So i resort to the streets |
|
As a source of income |
|
I'm stuck here |
|
I step out on my own block |
|
And everyone's throwin up the deuce to little j-rock |
|
And all my little homies that i hang with |
|
Are either jackin, or mixed up with this gang shit |
|
See it through reality |
|
Never leavin the gang cause its the street life mentality |
|
My homies got a proposition |
|
Pulled the nigga off some change and said he'd help in my position |
|
So now i'm rollin with the ogs |
|
Puttin in work for the jack, for some overseas |
|
And maybe in a year or two |
|
I'll be able to roll in a benz like the gangsta's do |
|
Makin hoes ride dick |
|
Cause that poor, broke ??? |
|
Ain't hittin ??? shit |
|
I gotta lock my crew down |
|
And sew this whole motherfucker up like the jews town |
|
Develop us a strong click |
|
Break my pops off some dope while he rot |
|
Pops would like that shit |
|
Seeing his little nigga on his own two |
|
Doing shit i heard my pops used to do |
|
A real nigga to this crime thang |
|
And had it going on before his time came |
|
I gots to get my shit right |
|
Until my shit gets right |
|
I'm rollin with the street life |
|
Chorus: |
|
You know what upsets me |
|
Is when whitey sits back in they lavish homes and bmws |
|
And tell me the streets ain't the place to be |
|
See it from my prospective |
|
Poverty strickin, livin on welfare |
|
And the government cuttin that shorter every week |
|
I'm shortin on education cause i'm black |
|
The corner doesn't promise me a good life |
|
But at least it shows me promise |
|
Finally after shit got right |
|
I'm wanting out of the gang cause i'm searchin for a new life |
|
But i remember what was said |
|
You come in alive the only way you leave out is dead |
|
So i'm kinda fucked on both ends |
|
I thought i had friends, but i ain't got no fuckin frinds |
|
Cause if they were my friends they'd let me break |
|
Outie five thousand fuck this shit, i'm packin my 38 |
|
But first i gotta stay down |
|
Until it's time for me to punch it out and just lay it down |
|
And that's a motherfuckin shame |
|
Tonight i gotta spill another ride with my little gang |
|
So slowly i walked up to it |
|
With no hesitation i broke the window and jumped into it |
|
Unhooked his shit and was headed off |
|
I opened up the door that's what set it off |
|
A nigga came out with a glock jack |
|
And put a slug in my motherfuckin back |
|
And my so called friends |
|
Want me out of the gang cause they don't know if i'll walk again |
|
Now tell me what's that deuce life |
|
Fucked up myself for good cause i was wrapped up in the |
