Uh-huh uh huh uh
|
Gee-gee-geyeah
|
Baby, watchin, streets
|
Uh-huh uh huh uh
|
You don't have to look
|
Uh-huh uh
|
The streets is watching
|
Check it, check
|
Uh-huh uh, check
|
|
Look, if I shoot you, I'm brainless
|
But if you shoot me, then you're famous -- what's a n*gga to do?
|
When the, streets is watching, blocks keep clocking
|
Waiting for you to break, make your first mistake
|
Can't ignore it, that's the fastest way to get extorted
|
But my time is money, at twenty-five, I can't afford it
|
Beef is sorted like Godiva, chocolates
|
N*ggaz you bought it, I pull the slide back and cock it
|
Plan aborted, you and your mans get a pass
|
This rhyme, you're operating on f*ck time
|
Y'all n*ggaz ain't worth my shells, all y'all n*ggaz
|
tryin to do is hurt my sales, and stop trips to John McNale
|
The type to start a beef then, run to the cops
|
When I see you in the street got, one in the drop
|
Would I rather be on tour getting a, hundred a pop
|
Taking pictures with some b*tches, in front of the drop
|
The streets is watching
|
|
[chorus]
|
When the, streets is watching
|
Blocks keep clocking
|
Waiting for you to break, make your first mistake
|
Can't ignore it
|
|
Now it's hard not to kill n*ggaz
|
It's like a full time job not to kill n*ggaz, can't chill
|
the streets is watching you, when you froze your arms
|
N*ggaz wanna test you and your gun goes warm
|
Can't get caught with your feet up, gotta keep your heat up
|
Sweet n*ggaz running 'round swearing sh*t is sweeter
|
Once you're tagged lame the game is follow the leader
|
Everybody want a piece of your scrilla, so you gotta keep it realer
|
Kidnap n*ggaz wanna steal ya
|
Broke n*ggaz want no cash, they just wanna kill ya
|
for the name, n*ggaz don't know the rules
|
Disrespectin the game, want you to blow your cool
|
Force your hand, of course that man's plottin
|
Smarten up, the streets is watching, it's on
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
My street mentality flip bricks forever, know me and money
|
we like armed co-defendants, n*gga we stick together
|
Sh*t whatever for this cheddar ran my game into the ground
|
Hustle harder to see if indictment time came around
|
Now you can look up and down the streets and I can't be found
|
Put in twenty-four hour shifts but, that ain't me now
|
Got a face too easy to trace, n*ggaz mouths got slow leaks
|
Had to hide between my workers, couldn't play those streets
|
She got his face like Mercury you jerkin me? Hectic
|
Had to call upon my wolves to send, n*ggaz the message
|
I said this: 'Let's play fair and we can stay here
|
I'm trying to transform you Boyz II Men like daycare'
|
Hey there's money to be made and, n*ggaz got the picture
|
Stopped playing with my paper and, we got richer
|
Then hard times fell upon us, half of my staff
|
had warrants, the other half, in the casket lay dormant
|
I felt like life was cheating me, for the first time
|
in my life I was getting money but it was like my concious was eating me
|
Was this a lesson God teaching me? Was he saying that?
|
I'm playing the game straight from Hell from which few came back
|
like bad coke, pimp or die, was my mindframe bad
|
Was n*ggaz thinkin simplify was turning cocaine crack?
|
Ain't a whole lot of brain to that, just trying to maintain a stack
|
and knock a lot like two trains that's on the same track
|
'Fore I get my life together like the oars I bring back
|
In the bottom of the pot where no, water gets hot
|
Got my transporter take it 'cross the border then stop
|
Set up shop with a quarter of rock, here's the plan
|
For three straight weeks, n*ggaz slaughtered the block
|
But you know the game is 'lluted, f*cked up me and my dues
|
One drop can wipe a n*gga out, faster than the cops
|
and this unstable way of living just, had to stop
|
Half of my n*ggaz got time, we done real things
|
By ninety-four became the subject of half of y'all n*ggaz rhymes
|
Public apoligies to the families of those caught up in my street
|
But that's the life for us lost souls brought up in the streets
|
The life and times of a demonic mind, excited with crime
|
And the lavish luxuries that just excited my mind
|
| I figured, 'Sh*t why risk myself I just write it |
