I'm just trying to survive
And help my family eat

Locked up doing time
That Ain't no place for me

Ain't no use in them lying
The truth won't set me free

Wanted dead or alive off in these city streets

Everyday mamas cry
Because their children die

Too many losing their lives
Behind some petty crimes

Ain't got no luck finding jobs
And I got two degrees

But they don't ever stop hiring
Off in these city streets

My nigga lost his fucking life
Off in these city streets

Envious niggas Turn to killers
As they watched him eat

A street Geek, I bet he knew
Before the home invasion

That his demise
Would be at the hands of some Familiar faces

My mind racing
Cuz the money make you paranoid

Every nigga you try to help
Prolly done had it hard

A Sad story
As they look for u to empathize...

Can't trust a soul
Even if they look you in your eye

Never surprised,
Cuz these bitch ass niggas will lie to God

Ain't coming up
Because they're money ain't on one accord

They're null and void
Cuz I know the root of all evil

And It's the love for the money
That exists in all people

But our people
Be the main ones that's got that issue

If they ain't getting nothing from u
Then they ain't fucking witchu

Lack of ambition
Bitch you can't get nothing else fa free

I say a prayer for the deceased
My nigga Rest in peace

Up in these city streets

There ain't no peace
I got my piece
So I can keep the peace

Grippin that thang, tint and bang,
Slidin on leather seats ...

And it don't matter where u from
Young niggas play for keeps

Ducking,
Watching for the police up in these city streets

Peep what I'm saying
Cuz I ain't trying to die like Malcolm bruh

Nobody playing
They'll Hit yo ass with that potassium

BANG!!!

That K hit u
Best believe you bout to lay it down

Nobody seen it
They're just trying move the fuck around

Niggas u down wit
Contribute to their own destruction

And you'll be going down wit em
If you stay on that fuk shit

You duck bitch
You're always going for it on fourth down

When u should lead with your defense
And probably punt sometimes

Get lawyered dine
Cuz every month U gotta pay that fee

To defer them charges
Cuz your honor is a fucking theif

You cop a plea and took a bargain
Talkin bout give us free

Now you Got yo ass extorted
In these city streets

Off in these city streets
