It's amazing how your life can change
|
It's plan and simple as it can bring things
|
Take perspective before it comes your way
|
I'm am so thankful to God for this day
|
Cause for a long time the streets were my home
|
Slanging hard banging hard got me known
|
But the reason to live Ive been shown
|
I gotta be around to see my baby boy grow
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Street life no more I'm throwing in the towel
|
Street life no more I gotta son now
|
Street life no more I gotta make it out
|
Street life no more (oh yeah yeah)
|
Street life no more I'm throwing in the towel
|
Street life no more I gotta show little man
|
What my life is really about
|
|
One more dealing and I'm outta this thing
|
need the paper so that I can maintain
|
I'ma fine a job hopefully something that pays
|
It's hard to walk away from this figure I made
|
Gab the money this don't look right no more
|
That nigga right there I think I seen him before
|
Good thing he didn't make a sell or buy
|
He gave me four years I'll be out by the he's five
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
Baby don't cry I'll be home soon
|
I let a gang of money in the safe for you
|
Come write I'll make it right through
|
I just got his picture of his first day in preschool
|
He's gonna be smart just like his mom
|
I commend you black queen for holding on
|
How many days I think I'ma cry
|
When I get out nomore street life Oh yeah
|
|
[chorus: until fade]
