(feat. Chubb Rock)
|
Bundle up my whole style is so cold
|
I glow like old guys who go bald
|
My flow got no front in the vocal
|
Your flow got no button its so old
|
|
I don't mean to sound like a showboat
|
But it's true my persona's no joke
|
I stepped into some kinda portal
|
I'm legend and sometimes I'm noble
|
|
I'm from the most risky zone - oh
|
No place is more shifty global
|
More pistols, Russian revolvers
|
We shootin' all that is normal
|
|
But it ain't just because we want to
|
We ain't got nowhere we can run to
|
Somebody please press the undo
|
They only teach us the things that guns do
|
|
[Chorus]
|
They don't teach us the ABCs
|
We play on the hard concrete
|
All we got is life on the streets
|
All we got is life on the streets
|
[repeat]
|
|
[Chubb Rock]
|
Rock, you know my era
|
B-boy seasoning, salt -n- pepa
|
Grown and sexy, come with the extra
|
Crushed up linen, fly like sess-a
|
This type brew I gave it birth
|
Now it's time again to give it a verse
|
Jamaican born, not a fan of the ganja
|
Boulevard [?] Brooklyn to Somalia
|
And it goes in the background
|
Playa, that is my sound
|
The green doesn't symbolize I made it on the top
|
Pioneer legend, and they call me Mr. Rock
|
No B word or N word, I don't need those words (no)
|
Respect for hers
|
The game dried up, so we come with the grease
|
Leadin' ya right and treatin' ya right, so peace
|
|
[Chorus]
|
They don't teach us the ABCs
|
We play on the hard concrete
|
All we got is life on the streets
|
All we got is life on the streets
|
[repeat]
|
|
Superman is known by the locals
|
As this dude who's so fly it's global
|
Attitude that came outta struggle
|
Destitute but I make it hopeful
|
|
You real, but my real is tenfold
|
My real'll make yours a rental
|
Gangsta if at ease, essential
|
Fight with guns or utensils
|
|
So bold nothin's confidential
|
Breakfast was not continental
|
And lunch could not compliment all
|
We still become competent souls
|
|
These streets ain't paved with no gold
|
Matter fact someone stole the light bulb
|
Nobody fat enough for lypo
|
They don't teach us to read and write, so...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
They don't teach us the ABCs
|
We play on the hard concrete
|
All we got is life on the streets
|
All we got is life on the streets
|
[repeat]
