Lyrics

[00:02.86] <Intro>
[00:03.52] Ooh, ooh, ooh
[00:11.74] When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone
[00:16.60] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[00:22.83] When my story is over and my song is done
[00:28.32] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[00:33.24] The end
[00:34.73] <Verse 1>
[00:34.91] All I get is mother*******in' love in these streets
[00:37.14] To most of these tricks I'm a mother*******in' treat
[00:39.95] What's beef? I ain't got no beef
[00:42.75] See all that *******in'? It taste like chicken
[00:45.62] And all these chickens? They get plucked
[00:48.40] And nobody wants to see the volcano erupt
[00:51.32] I'm down with Daz 'cause everythang is Kurupt
[00:54.10] I'm celebrated every time I pull up
[00:56.88] You hella hated, every time you look up
[00:59.75] I'm elevated to rapper's deluxe
[01:02.51] They love me, dawg, 'cause I'm one of a kind
[01:05.27] This is God's plan, homie, it ain't mine
[01:07.95] See, this ain't about dyin', it's all about shinin'
[01:10.91] It's all about climbin' a hill full of diamonds
[01:13.79] I know that you feel it, I know that you felt it
[01:15.32] 'Cause a ************ gon' live 'til a ************ can't help it
[01:19.51] <Chorus>
[01:19.70] When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone
[01:24.40] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[01:29.84] (They love me, dawg)
[01:30.69] When my story is over and my song is done
[01:35.03] (They love me, dawg)
[01:36.18] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[01:40.98] The end
[01:42.19] <Verse 2>
[01:42.50] Sorry, y'all, I ain't got no haters
[01:44.67] All I got is mother *******ers tellin' me I'm the greatest
[01:47.49] All I got is those fly ass suits and gators
[01:50.39] Nobody servin' Cube but maids and waiters
[01:53.32] Nobody tryin' to take my life
[01:55.90] All these ******* tryna do is replace my wife
[01:58.83] But you hoes ain't cold enough to ******* with Ice
[02:01.62] Like Kim she'll run circles 'round you ******* twice
[02:04.42] Now, it might get funky but it won't get ugly
[02:07.30] ************s might not like me but they still love me
[02:10.05] ************s might talk ************, they whisper and huddle
[02:12.91] 'Cause they know my rebuttal might leave a puddle
[02:15.77] Now the streets is talkin' until they see me walkin' up the block, then all the bull************ stop
[02:18.86] Anything I do, don't take it personal 'cause when a ************ gone, that ************ ain't reversible
[02:26.94] <Chorus>
[02:27.34] When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone
[02:32.17] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[02:37.18] (They love me, dawg)
[02:38.44] When my story is over and my song is done
[02:43.11] (They love me, dawg)
[02:43.88] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[02:48.70] The end
[02:50.56] <Verse 3>
[02:50.82] I'm the bastard that spit the acid
[02:53.01] ******* a funeral home and a casket
[02:55.86] ******* a funeral song and a procession
[02:58.76] Keep God on your dome and count your blessings
[03:01.56] Keep the hood in your heart but Heaven on your mind
[03:04.40] Shake 'em up and roll seven every time
[03:07.34] Pick 'em up, yup, stick 'em up
[03:09.68] Every time you see me got a different color cup
[03:11.96] This ain't about dyin', it's all about livin'
[03:15.19] It's all about makin' everyday Thanksgivin'
[03:18.06] It's all about givin', about stayin' driven
[03:20.85] It ain't about you, it's about these children
[03:23.68] So when a ************ die, stop cryin' and ventin'
[03:26.52] Will somebody in here bump George Clinton?
[03:29.35] Will somebody in here hug my fam?
[03:32.08] Don't worry about me, you know where I am
[03:34.87] <Chorus>
[03:35.12] When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone
[03:39.89] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[03:45.31] (They love me, dawg)
[03:46.30] When my story is over and my song is done
[03:49.54] (They love me, dawg)
[03:51.66] I know the streets will shed tears for me
[03:56.55] The end
[03:58.18]
