Take this for example young brothers want rep
|
Cause in the life they're living, you can't half step
|
It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun
|
And if you ain't down, you'll get played out son
|
So let's get a car, you know, a fly whip
|
Get a dent, pull a screwdriver, and be off quick
|
With a dope ride, yeah, and a rowdy crew
|
We can bag us a Benz and an Audi, too
|
Even a jeep or a van, goddamn, we're getting ours, yo
|
Take a trip up the strip, and be like stars so
|
It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping
|
They can't do jack, that's why a young brother's open
|
To do anything, anywhere, anyplace
|
Buckwild in another court case
|
It's the code of the streets
|
|
They might say we're a menace to society
|
But at the same time I say "Why is it me?"
|
Am I the target, for destruction?
|
What about the system, and total corruption?
|
I can't work at no fast-food joint
|
I got some talent, so don't you get my point?
|
I'll organize some brothers and get some crazy loot
|
Selling D-R-U-G-S and clocking dollars, troop
|
Cause the phat dough, yo, that suits me fine
|
I gotta have it so I can leave behind
|
The mad poverty, never having always needing
|
If a sucker steps up, then I leave him bleeding
|
I gotta get mine, I can't take no shorts
|
And while I'm selling, here's a flash report
|
Organized crime, they get theirs on the down low
|
Here's the ticket, wanna bet on a horse show?
|
You gotta be a pro, do what you know
|
When you're dealing with the code of the streets
|
|
Nine times out of ten I win, with the skills I be weilding
|
Got the tec one dealing, let me express my feelings
|
Guru has never been one to play a big shot
|
It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot
|
Anf fuck turning my back to the street scene
|
It gives me energy, so Imma keep fiends
|
Coming, just to get what I'm selling
|
Maybe criminal or felon dropping gems on your melon
|
So keep abreast to the GangStarr conquest
|
Underground ruffnecks, pounds of respect
|
I've never been afraid to let loose my speech
|
My brothers know I kick the code of the streets
|
