These Streets (feat. Mike Smiff & Khujo Goodie) [Radio Edit]

Everybody wanna be hard in these streets

Everybody wanna tote a gun in these streets

But not everybody got love in these streets

Not everybody got heart in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be touching no

You wouldn't be poppin no or clutchin no pole

You can find out the easy way or the hard way

You can crash into the wall or listen to what I got to say

Look here a smart man learn from his own mistakes but a wise man learn from the mistakes of others

Look at our uncles and brothers our praying grannies and mothers

We make it hard on the family when we get in some trouble

Knowing well paying bills already a struggle

Going in and out of jail stressing the people that love us

Listen don't be that that had b ball dreams

That had talent to be the captain of the b ball team

Then got caught up in the streets and everything that it brings

Now you locked up in a cell for the rest of ya team

My cousin knew how to write he could've been a author

My cousin knew how to fight he could've been a boxer

My cousin smart could have had several businesses but he locked up with two life sentences

I pray you learn from em

Everybody wanna be hard in these streets

Everybody wanna tote a gun in these streets

But not everybody got love in these streets

Not everybody got heart in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

You can have love for the streets but the streets won't love you back

Young brother get a job mother all that

Use that tool go to school and get you an education

You don't want to be that dude that's facing incarceration

Penitentiary full of people who wish they had a second chance

Innocent but you guilty in the eyes of the man

In the wrong place at the wrong time that will do it too

Better listen to me now and not them thugs in your crew

If you know like I know you would leave them streets alone

Don't get caught slipping partner in the danger zone

Cause the good out here dying over this bull

Don't trick yourself off the streets trying to come up quick

My uncle said nephew gangstas don't live long

Just keep your nose clean and you can't go wrong

Everybody wanna be hard in these streets

Everybody wanna tote a gun in these streets

But not everybody got love in these streets

Not everybody got heart in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

The cops is watching

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

The jack boys jocking

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

The cops is watching

If you know like I know you wouldn't be in these streets

The jack boys jocking
