When we pass, just met a scent, kill a reaper behind tent
We take it to the extent, respect that it's ever dead
Then we explode on contact, the streets is hot
See all my niggas getting locked up, and keep getting shot
You see, I can't go, it's like I only get to see my ghetto
And if I ever get to leave, I don't know
If I'ma come back to the street life no more
Cause all these places that I see, I can't go
Cause I only, only get to see my ghetto
And if I ever get to leave, I don't know
If I'ma come back to the street life no more
Every grist, y'all got X-Dot
One times, pull the gauges in the Vistot
Flatline, tip-dive without a witness
H-Dot from natural causes, under a U.S. gate
The A's brought them out the clubs, and then we see enough as young blacks
To make us fall from the stress and catch a heart attack
Never thought we'd be here, never thought we'd be here

Never too old, born dyin', and don't make niggas think they be flyin'
But suicides die, come with another family cryin'
And then we see enough as young blacks
To make us fall from the stress and catch a heart attack
Never too old, born dyin', and don't make niggas think they be flyin'
But suicides die, come with another family cryin'
The aspirations of a athlete
But bad, bad feet cut the plate
No, being great, bustin' threes through a milk crate
Right, folks can't relate, I be the first to say
Cause this is what I do, this is what I do
Step up, standin' at the stump, and that's if a chain since yesterday
And the fiends roam the block with the schemes and scams
And boys be willin' to murder if you sure stop with no grand
This what my niggas in the cemetery, from B1 to Legendary
Bringin' light to the ghetto streets, collectin' on visual memory
All these places that I've seen, I can't go
It's like I only get to see my ghetto
But if I ever, ever get to leave, I don't know
If I'ma come back to the street life
Don't know, cause all these places that I've seen
I can't go, I only, only get to see my ghetto
And if I ever get to leave, I don't know
If I'ma come back to the street life
Don't know
When we pass, just met a scent, kill a reaper behind tent
Take it, take it to the extent, respect that it's evident
That we explode on contact, the streets is hot
See all my niggas gettin' locked up, and keep gettin' shot
When we pass, just met a scent, kill a reaper behind tent
We take it to the extent, we take it to the extent
That we explode on contact, the streets is hot
See all my niggas gettin' locked up, and keep gettin' shot
My whole life done been a seesaw, I'm up and I'm down
I kept, I kept my balance well enough to stay off the ground
I bump you down, real niggas from the south side of town
We come around, sippin' crime, bout to smoke on a pound
Got enough, drank to drown, they lovin' the way it sound
Realest, nearest niggas you found, triple platinum bound
But still on the ground, watchin' this call
World revolved in the darkness
Where most of your problems can't be sawed, sparred, spotless
But we gon' be the ones to escape
Two livin' mansions with automatic guns at the gate
It's still a dream, but it's so vivid it can't be faked
And you won't ever get to see it if it can't relate
We don't stop, niggas, me and my niggas on top
Nigga, quit, quit, nigga, me and my niggas the *
Nigga, stop, stop, nigga, me and my niggas on top
Nigga, we don't quit, nigga, me and my niggas the *
My mind's just a game, and it's like I'm just addicted to my street life, ways of change, the same
Ain't no hater finna put me to shame
To keep my, keep my mind on money and let my finances gain
My only, like, I'm just addicted to my street life, ways of change, the same
And I always know the tricks of the trade remain the same
Ain't no hater finna put me to shame
To keep, to keep my mind on money and let my finances gain
My only aim is to make it when I don't have a chance
Probably * around in my sports club and turn around in epidemiology, if I come up with a word sometimes all the time can call Robotnik on the house, have theANV résult in the house or go to theuerauer
Take just what I want in advance
You feel the, feel the, there's a problem that we all gotta rob
Cause we grew up in a hood where you know life is hard
It's probably gonna take a miracle to get it resolved
And if someone who's spiritual try to get involved
Cause I know my whole community ain't getting no jobs
So tell me how can we find unity when all of us starve
Probably gonna take a miracle to get it resolved
And if someone who's spiritual try to get involved
Cause I know my whole community ain't getting no jobs
So tell me how can we find unity when all of us starve
Cause this world that we living in, it's all about dividends
Ain't nobody giving * unless they can benefit
Cause most niggas counterfeit
So tell me how we all gonna survive
When all I see is this misery in this place I reside
All the places that I see, I can't go
I only, only get to see my head told
And if I ever get to leave, I don't know
For crying out loud

If I'ma come back, come back to the street life
No more, cause all these places that I see, I can't go
It's like I only get to see my head told
I ever, ever get to leave, I don't know
If I'ma come back to the street life
No more
