Songtexte Street Life - T-Bone

Check this out baby
Westside at it's finest
We about to show you what this California street life like
California, home of the Crips and the Bloods
We do it like this, baby!

Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life

Ayo, picture me rollin' like Pac in a drop gold double R
Women, champagne, weed, cigars, and caviar
Livin' the life of a thug, movin' the drugs, duckin' them slugs
Dealin' with phones tapped with bugs
Plus, associatin' with some hard hitters
Cold killers, convicts, thugs, and drug dealers
Cop killers and drug lords stackin' eight figures
Quick to pull a trigger and leave a body floatin' in the river
(We gorillas) In this jungle, collectin' mad scrilla
Makin' our cheddar and cream, off dope fiends
From a land where everybody gotta fend for themselves
Half of the homies doin' 25 to life in a cell
Seems like we dwell in the pits of Hell
With no bail, chained up, captive, and tortured by the enemy's spells
Who hears my cry from these lonely jail cells?
And what does it profit to lose my soul and gain from drug sales?

Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life

Ayo, the street life is the only life I know
Taught to hustle these mean streets and grind to make dough
Cock the.44, jump in the six-four
Blast all my adversaries and end up on death row
Yo, this was the life I seen raised as a youth
Where everybody smokin' chronic, sippin' 98 proof
Ain't no happy days or sunshine
In my hood, it's just crime, cryin', and one time
Slugs flyin' at everybody tryna come up in this evil drug game
Insane visions of murder just increase the pain
Cocaine and methamphetamine
I want out but I gave an oath to the death of me
So let it be, I'ma ride on my enemy
But when they bury me, I fear where my soul'll be
Eternally lookin' for light, partner, but I'm in the midst of the dark
It's so hard when you in this ghetto prison lookin' for God

Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life

Another homie dies, so I wipe the tears from my eyes
And ask God, "How many lonely, painful tears will I cry?"
Seem like nobody even care about us here in the hood
I try to get a job, but they say I'm up to no good
Misunderstood from a young age
That's why I turned to heavy liquor and a twelve gauge
On a rampage from an adolescent
Carryin' hollow points in my Smith & Wesson
For anybody second guessin' if I'm scared to test 'em
Ain't nothin' even worth livin' for, the rich are gettin' richer
And the ghetto remain poor, liquor stores and the gun shops
And everybody wonder why my thugs pack Glocks and kill cops
Full of hurt since birth, what was our place on this earth?
Seem like everybody in the ghetto is cursed with a curse
And what's worse is that my partners dyin' at a fast rate
Dear God, can you help me out? I'm lookin' for an escape

Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
Livin' the street life, Cristal, drugs, and crushed ice
Hangin' with players that plan heists and roll dice
In casinos like Bugsy Siegel
We outlaws forever livin' illegal, street life
