I´ve been goin´ through somethings (ohhh), I been strugglin´ with my inner man (yea,yea), I hustle, I´ll do what I can to get this money,(uh,yea,listen)I know I promised you somethings (somethings), There´s gotta be a better way, It´s not easy to make that change, The streets keep callin´ me
[verse1:]
Last night tryin´ to make it home (make it home), I get this call on my phone (on my cell), Stop yellin´ Slow down, I can´t understand a word you sayin´, Did ya say my nigga got hit? (in the head), Did ya say he didn´t make it? (is he dead),
Please tell me you know who did this, I´m on my way and somebody´s gonna get it Mash the pettle on the highway-speed in´, and my baby in the back ground - pleadin, Come home and leave it alone - It´s out of the question girl it´s on What about his new born child, and u know that he was wild I don´t wanna hear this shit right now, when they just stretched my nigga out
[chorus]
[verse2:]
by my name sayin´ how you gonna get paid, No education equals of minimum wage, Minimum wage equals minimum play,
And you know real niggas wanna play, Won´t you come on and move this way, School don´t garuntee a higher pay, That´s the shit that´ll get me locked away, Man they tryin´ to give a nigga all day Now I´m out here everynight comin´ in late, If you slip then I´m comin´ for the take, It´s goin´ fast and I need to hit the breaks, The greater the risk the more you make, All my thoughts are in the clouds, what about just shuttin´ down, But girl I really can´t quit right now, Notice on the door they tryin´ to thow´ us out
[chorus]
[hook:]
Although (although), I was raised right (ooooo), Still these streets aint nothin´ nice they can´t change the course of life, And you know that i know (i know), That I must grow (must grow), See my kids grow, But still the streets is all I know
