The City Streets ft. Jessoul Lyrics

I'm just trying to survive

And help my family eat

Locked up doing time

That Ain't no place for me

Ain't no use in them lying

The truth won't set me free

Wanted dead or alive off in these city streets

Everyday mamas cry

Because their children die

Too many losing their lives

Behind some petty crimes

Ain't got no luck finding jobs

And I got two degrees

But they don't ever stop hiring

Off in these city streets

My nigga lost his fucking life

Off in these city streets

Envious niggas Turn to killers

As they watched him eat

A street Geek, I bet he knew

Before the home invasion

That his demise

Would be at the hands of some Familiar faces

My mind racing

Cuz the money make you paranoid

Every nigga you try to help

Prolly done had it hard

A Sad story

As they look for u to empathize...

Can't trust a soul

Even if they look you in your eye

Never surprised,

Cuz these bitch ass niggas will lie to God

Ain't coming up

Because they're money ain't on one accord

They're null and void

Cuz I know the root of all evil

And It's the love for the money

That exists in all people

But our people

Be the main ones that's got that issue

If they ain't getting nothing from u

Then they ain't fucking witchu

Lack of ambition

Bitch you can't get nothing else fa free

I say a prayer for the deceased

My nigga Rest in peace

Up in these city streets

There ain't no peace

I got my piece

So I can keep the peace

Grippin that thang, tint and bang,

Slidin on leather seats ...

And it don't matter where u from

Young niggas play for keeps

Ducking,

watching for the police up in these city streets

Peep what I'm saying

Cuz I ain't trying to die like Malcolm bruh

Nobody playing

They'll Hit yo ass with that potassium

BANG!!!

That K hit u

Best believe you bout to lay it down

Nobody seen it

They're just trying move the fuck around

Niggas u down wit

Contribute to their own destruction

And you'll be going down wit em

If you stay on that fuk shit

You duck bitch

You're always going for it on fourth down

When u should lead with your defense

And probably punt sometimes

Get lawyered dine

Cuz every month U gotta pay that fee

To defer them charges

Cuz your honor is a fucking theif

You cop a plea and took a bargain

Talkin bout give us free

Now you Got yo ass extorted

In these city streets

Off in these city streets
