The Streets
The hoes
The projects
Always think you flyy,
Yet ya mother struggles
Father has two jobs
Don’t have enough money
And you still get robbed
Walk thru the hood
Niggaz always stare
Look left, Look right
Cops always there
Run up in peoplez house
Don’t even have a reason
Just want to run about
The street girls
The hood niggaz
The sirens
The fights
Crack heads and drug dealers
Parties all night
Remember those days
You know you miss that
Always wonder why
You would want to go back
Go back to the life
Of sex and crime
Baby mother struggles
Baby father hustle
Boys running around all crazy
Girls running the streets
Having madd babies
Mind ain’t set to go to skool
Damn that’s shame
‘Cause you think that’s cool
Low grades
High standards
Bandanas hangin’
Always flaggin’
Niggaz is stackin’
Niggaz is packin’
Clothes cut low
Body’s all shown
Struttin down the streets
You know she hoe’ in
Girls on the corner
Boys on the corner
Realize that’s how it is
Even if it ain’t how they was brought up
The hoes
The projects
Wonder who gon’ die next?
The struggle!
The streets!
