STREET LIFE

VERSE 1

STANDING ON THE STREET CORNER THIS STORY IS WORD

I SEEN HEADLIGHTS APPROACHING STOP AT THE CURB

THIS GUY PULLS UP IN A BM TWENTY-THIRD LETTER

BEJOR DENIM JEANS RED TOMMY SWEATER

TRENCH COAT WAS LEATHER HE PULLED OUT A PHILLY

SPARKED UP A LIGHTER AND SAID YO WHAT’S THE DILLY

NOTHING AND YOU HE SAID I CAME FROM ATLANTA G.A.

WAS DOWN IN FLORIDA SPENT SOME TIME IN P.A.

AND THE COPS IS TRYING TO STICK ME CUZ THEY SAYING MY STREET LIFE IS NICE

NOW I’M PAYING THE PRICE PAYING IT TWICE

ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO IS JUST GET THINGS TOGETHER

BUT WITH THIS HAND THAT I’VE BEEN DEALT I’VE HAD NO CHANCE NEVER

THOUGHT THAT I WAS CLEVER NOW I UNDERSTAND

IF I HAD THE CHANCE I’D RATHER BE AN AVERAGE WORKING MAN

I’VE GOT ROCKS ON MY HAND I GOT MONEY AND LINKS

BUT I’M LIVING ON THE RUN AND YO THIS REALLY STINKS

AND I’M IN TO DEEP TO DECREASE THE TRICKERY

AND THIS BROTHERS NOT GOING TO THE PENITENTIARY

TO SURVIVE I GOT TO KEEP MY BLOOD COLDER THAN ICE

IT’S A SHAME BUT IT’S THE GAME WHEN YOU’RE LIVING WITH THE STREET LIFE

(CHORUS)

THERE’S A WAR GOING ON OUTSIDE NO MAN IS SAFE FROM

THESE STREETS THAT WE DO TOOK (REPEAT 3X)

VERSE 2

NOW BROTHERS NEED TO QUIT WITH THIS MENTALITY

IT’S SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST GOT TO BE THE SLICKEST

GOD BE MY WITNESS ON HOW YOU NEED TO QUIT THIS LIFESTYLE

YOU GONNA BE WILD LIVE FOWL

ACTING LIKE YOU DIDN’T HAVE NO CHOICE

BUT THEN I THINK YOUR GAME REALLY BE QUITE MOIST

IT TAKES MORE DISCIPLINE LIVING A LIFE TURNING FROM SIN

ALWAYS RUNNING OFF ON HOW YOU BE THE BOSS AND

GOTTA BE SMOKING RUNNING GAME GUN TOTEN

SEX IN EXOTIC PLACES CRISTAL BOTTLES OPEN

IF YOU HAVE NO MONEY YOU HAVE NO FASHION

SO THEREFORE YOU GET NO ACTION

WANT TO BE LIKE MIKE BE LIKE JESUS CHRIST

HE TOOK NAILS IN THE HANDS STABBED IN THE SIDE IN ME HE ABIDE

AND WILL BE FOREVER WE STICK TOGETHER LIKE ACCIDENTS AND BAD WEATHER

NOW MONEY POWER RESPECT AINT’T THE KEY TO LIFE

I GOT A BETTER CONCEPT WHAT ABOUT LIVING RIGHT

THE LORD SAYS IN HIS WORD PHILIPPINES FOUR NINETEEN

I’LL SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS THROUGH MY RICHES AND GLORY THOUGH J.C.

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3

THERE’S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT J-WAL YA’LL

WHEN IT COMES TO BELIEFS I’M NEVER AWALL YA’LL

I STAND FIRM TO THE WORD FIRM I’VE BEEN BLESSED I CAN’T REST

CUZ TO MANY BROTHERS TAKING BULLETS IN THE CHEST

MUST I WALK AROUND WITH A BULLET PROOF VEST INCASE A BROTHER TRIES TO TEST

AND NOW THE SITUATION IS EVERYBODY’S ILL TRIGGER HAPPY

I KEEP IT SIMPLE HAIR NOT NAPPY MUCH LOVE TO MY PAPPY

GIVE MY BROTHERS PLENTY DAPPY IF MY SON GETS OUT OF LINE HIS BUT STAYS SLAPPY

THE REFLECTION OF YOUR WEALTH IS NOT MONEY IT’S FAMILY

THEN YOU LIFE WILL STAY SWEET LIKE HONEY

WITH ONE LIFE TO LIVE NO MUCH TIME TO GIVE

IF YOU’RE LIVING FOR THE DAY THEN YOUR SELFISH KID

AIN’T NO RESPECT CUZ YOU SAY THAT YO YOU’RE KEEPING IT REAL

BUT YOU ROBBING AND YOUR LYING JUST FOR EARNING A BILL

NOW CHECK IT TITLE CHRISTEN CONCEPT LISTEN

I’M WEARING A SKIRT LETS PUT IT IN TO SKEPTICISM

I’VE BEEN WASHED IN THE BLOOD NOW THAT IS REALISM

AND HANDLE ALL THING THROUGH THE FAITH THAT I’VE BEEN GIVEN

BY THE ONE AND ONLY SON WHO’S RISEN

AND THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT I’M FORGIVEN

NOW IF I MEET BEEF I’M SUPPOSE TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK

BUT J-WAL DOES ADMIT TO HAVE A SHORT MEMORY

NOW I MAY NOT BE RICH OWN LAND CROSS SEAS

ROCK FLY BM’S OR CATCH A LIFT OFF TREES

BUT WHAT I HOLD THE MOST IS INTEGRITY

AND I’M GONNA LIVE DAYS OF LIFE ETERNALLY
