The Street Veteran

inspired by a kin of mine THE STREET VETERAN I have a lot of years in the game the street life is hot so i'm fierce in the flame lookin' for the jackpot and piercin' my name In the street files petrified of being hungry so I grind for the money while crooked cops are huntin' me wantin' to put hand cuffs on me If i'm caught, then I bail & I bounce out i'm back on the streets to get meat[cash] I gotta eat and they found out when you got paper they can't keep a true player locked up & I hounds out with OG's street vets who've seen the life they're givin' me wisdom laced with with mo' P's you know me, i'm stackin' my greeners right i'm a cash fiend for life caught up in this world fulla' these hustlers & raw dogs we're all frogs leapin' up tryin' to get tall yall because these dollar bills will call hogs[a beast in the streets] but how many mo' bullets gotta fly too many hustlers tryin' to spot the pie how many mo' street soldiers gotta die in my eyes, i'm watchin' the fallin' of the masses because gettin' this cash is real hectic in a crime game, that's thick like molasses and from dust to the ashes my passage for survival is threatened,I fret so I'm sweatin' all this money i'm nettin' while i'm headin' for the Armageddon it's real, so I gotta spit game for the quick fame I flip thangs wait for the shift change gotta get a grip & maintain Bloop Bloop[police sound] now I gotta switch names so I give up my alias deceivin' the cops is my play because in this systematic circle their Gang is one of the shadiest but I aint trippin' because i'm street life deep and i'm tryin' to avoid the Pen & the graveyard where most my mentors sleep.
