Street Life

Lord, hear me please, oh, hear this, God

Rose from the mud all by myself
I ain't have a place to go
Time from the judge he facin'
With a court-appointed lawyer
Sides, ain't no trust, sometimes I wonder
"Why did I know?" sometimes I wish that I
Could press rewind and
Take you back when I was normal
I'm on my shit just like a plunger
No wonder they want to see me fall
Down on my dick, they
Didn't see, Stevie Wonder
But when I ran the quad
Dyin' with my clique, this shit ain't
'bout no deposit's, I'm wit' 'em
Right or wrong
Dyin' up in a ditch, you shouldn't
Have played with a mobstеr
We spin to knock 'em off

Street life, street lifе, street life
Street life
You might lose your life to the trenches
You might lose your life to the trenches
Yeah street life, street life, street life
Street life
You might lose your life to the prison
You might lose your life to the prison

My mama always told me, "Time will heal"
I'm talkin' way before the
Come-up, we was thuggin'
Slangin' iron for real
I'm talkin' deep down in the gutter
Bread and butter 'fore I had a deal
Jump out all black, then upped
That cutter on the backstreet
Niggas dyin' for real
I got your back, you got my
Back, protect the brand, yeah
That's just what it is
Back before my grandma popped the pills
I played the streets, shit got me gettin' ill
These bullets burn like gonorrhea
So you don't let no one get near
And they don't never ask how Quando feel
But send a text like, "Can you pay my bills?"
Realest I met when I look in the mirror, oh

Rose from the mud all by myself
I ain't have a place to go
Time from the judge he facin'
With a court-appointed lawyer
Sides, ain't no trust, sometimes I wonder
"Why did I know?" sometimes I wish that I
Could press rewind and
Take you back when I was normal
I'm on my shit just like a plunger
No wonder they want to see me fall
Down on my dick, they
Didn't see, Stevie Wonder
But when I ran the quad
Dyin' with my clique, this shit ain't
'bout no deposit's, I'm wit' 'em
Right or wrong
Dyin' up in a ditch, you shouldn't
Have played with a mobster
We spin to knock 'em off

Street life, street life, street life
Street life
You might lose your life to the trenches
You might lose your life to the trenches
Yeah street life, street life, street life
Street life
You might lose your life to the prison
You might lose your life to the prison
