To These Streets

I then lost it all to these streets

I got called to these streets

As a youngin it wasn’t nun else to be

Crazy thing is that I lost it all for free

I ain’t gain nun but some tees

Potnas dead they ain’t get shit but rips

It’s kinda hard to see a world with any peace when I’m in war today

And everybody got a choice that’s easier for yall to say

I was in shoot outs for my life but I’m who caught the case

But I still won’t complain I’m just gone play the hand that’s brought to me

We all gone be tested God say

Well I got a hard test of course my grades not similar to yall grades

Was broke as fuck prayed to be dressed in balmains in a dark cage

Bitch look at me now I’m that li nikka that you called plain

I hate the world you hate the world that’s why we beefing

You kill one of mines we gone get even

I got soul ties to these streets my bitch don’t wanna see me leaving

Went into deep soon as I put my feet in

On yo block this evening

You won’t pop out well let’s play hide and seek then

On offense don’t believe in playing defense

I been out here sliding on my enemies I’m tired I ain’t been sleeping

I’m scared that if I do death gone come reap me Unh unh

Cold sweats is what these blocks ah do you

Was young I got into em out there head first working without a tutor

Armed robberies made me prove im a shooter

It ain’t like I wanted to was hungry got tired of cooking up ramen noodles

It’s death or jail that’s what my mama say

It’s crazy that what make my mama cry is what make my people be proud of me

In Ryan’s detention seeing ghosts without a face

Dead people haunting me thinking bout all the times I had to hop them gates

Why everybody trynna plot on tay

If they ain’t trynna box the kid they on the block plotting talking bout robbing me

Today was just like any other day been ducking from the cops dodging exchanging shots don’t even know who shot at me

Paranoid ain’t trynna die today

They say that there’s a better life out there somewhere show me I’m trynna find a way

Been strapped down praying for better days

Listening to Ella Mai wishing my neighborhood could be a better place

It ain’t nun in these streets just a life sentence young nikkas that’s gone end up being deceased

They constantly changing ratting nikkas changed teams

I refused to let these streets claim me

I then lost it all to these streets

I got called to these streets

As a youngin it wasn’t nun else to be

I ain’t gain nun but some tees
