[Krayzie]
|
Dedicate this to all the niggas on the streets
|
Niggas in the hood strugglin
|
Doin what the fuck they gotta do to make their money
|
And all the thugs, the hustlas, the gangstas, the playas, pimps
|
Let's roll, let's roll
|
(Ghetto love, ghetto love I can feel that ghetto love, ghetto love)
|
|
[Krayzie x2]
|
Street people
|
(People)
|
All my people be them niggas with an attitude
|
(We're ready for war)
|
The street mentality: it's do what you gotta do
|
(Do what you gotta do)
|
|
[Krayzie]
|
I dedicate this to the niggas in the hood
|
(Where they at? Where they at? Where they at?)
|
Keepin it real on the street
|
Niggas they practice what they preach, stayin true until they D-I-E
|
Niggas still strong
|
We keep on bailin through the stress
|
and all the rest of the shit that's goin on
|
Speakin of violence, I see, you got to keep a pistol
|
Cause if niggas think you're rich, you gon be got, they out to pinch ya
|
Bullshit you not--killin' because of the pump
|
And it drives us to the point of no return
|
Especially when you're gone off of the sherm
|
You could give a fuck about a nigga flossin
|
While you walkin, he on sixteen switches
|
Ain't that a bitch? But that's life
|
This shit ain't nothin' nice, and he'll take yours if his ain't right
|
And I can't stop 'em or knock 'em, but yo, I wouldn't even try, though
|
Cause Bible say, "Hey, either repent or you will die"
|
So (so, so), choose one (just one)
|
Either repent and get saved
|
Or put some food on your table for now
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Street people
|
(People)
|
All my people be them niggas with an attitude
|
(We're ready for war)
|
The street mentality
|
It's do what you gotta do
|
(Do what you gotta do)
|
|
[Krayzie & (Niko)]
|
I see my sisters out there hustlin, man (strugglin, man)
|
Do what it takes, but that's the brakes, rustle up what you can
|
Gotta feed your babies (babies, yeah)
|
Handle yourself your own business
|
don't wait on that nigga to get you nothin
|
We been poor long enough, and I know you would scheme on somethin
|
(somethin, yeah) Take the welfare, fuck it!
|
The system givin it to you, cause it's guilt on they conscience
|
Don't let 'em fool you (don't let 'em fool you, no)
|
Really ain't doin' a nigga any favors
|
So come and get the paper, paper, before you die, die
|
This verse is for my ghetto queens
|
Tryin' to come up and get them better things
|
particularly cheddar cheese
|
Make that money (make that money)
|
Work, work, work
|
Whatever your occupation
|
As long as you bringin home the bacon, bacon, bacon
|
Don't let your enemy lock your mind, too
|
And I hope y'all really been payin attention cause it's 1999, ohh
|
(Ooh-ooh, yeah)
|
Though people comin around, we gon' thug
|
So where the thugs at?
|
Gimme some of that ghetto love (ghetto love)
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
[Krayzie & (Niko)]
|
Now if y'all feelin me
|
let's get down and tear the roof off the mother
|
Shoot the mmotherfuckers, I'm serious and mean business
|
Ready to pump pump and ride, you with it?
|
Come on, put it out there, pump, pump, pump police
|
They treat us like animals - let's attack 'em like beasts
|
But hold on 'fore you start fightin (hold on, hold on)
|
Let's brighten up the action scene, pass me the gasoline
|
(no more, no more) I'm really not trippin on this rappin no more
|
Cause I know it won't last too much longer
|
When it's over, then I be a full-time soldier (I told you)
|
If I make it out of the game with all my sanity
|
Get paid, fuck the fame, get out quickly, understand me?
|
Cause at the rate I'm goin, pretty soon they'll try to ban me
|
for killin these muthafuckas tryin to tamper with my family
|
Now they got me runnin' from these po-po's tryin to jam me
|
But I told them muthafuckas not to try to test my manly
|
And this is my mentality for fuckin with the street life, street life
|
(street life)
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
[Niko]
|
I gotta give it up to all my thugstas, we're street people
|
Them niggas with an attitude
|
Let's stop the killin, we're strugglin just like you to make a livin
|
We're not pretendin, don't y'all remember?
|
It ain't easy tryin to stay alive, some people out t |
