Street Life (feat. G Money)

Shit, every motherfucking night I sit here and
And be thinking about everything I could've done but didn't do
But I guess life's a bitch
You win some, you lose some
But once you lose, you out

Heat up the nine with my bleeding heart
And start shit with a vengeance of blazing nights
With gun fights and drive-bys
Out of line G's with the P's and the G Nikes
Graduated from the game of street life
And what it feels like when a soldier's gone, it's on
Retaliating state, bucking the chrome, I'm gone
From sipping anything with liquor in it, tryna maintain
Lost a motherfucking homeboy to the game and it's on
Even a hard fall when the gun buck
You're fucked, even a strong fall, do or die
We're down to ride on any enemy sidelines
With dirty nines, passing the time and getting high
Though we cry later, slam now, until the grave or the pen
I put it down for my closest friends
Ayo, the scrappy young Mikey and Cricket that's doing the hard times
Since you got my homeboy's heart, well, now you got mine

Street life is the only life I know
Street life, we're so far away from home
Street life, got a thousand miles to go
Street life, we're so far away from home

Street life, it's hard, I mean, it's
It's really hard for us people that
That just can't live an ordinary life that
That we were given, 'cause it's like set in the ghetto
We really didn't, like, have no other choice and
The people you go around with, I guess you
Just learn to be like, you know what I'm saying?

They say the money is for nothing and the chicks for free
That's why I'm rapping, attacking the streets
I'm stacking up G's, I'm bagging up P's
I'm dragging on D's, I'm ragging MCs
I'm young and I'm free, I'm ready to bleed
I was a young buck, black laced-up Chucks
Smoking fat P-Dogs and rolling lazer blunts
Went down the wrong path, we're praying hands for time
Visions of bloodbaths on how my old man passed
I lost a strong man and left a heavenly kid
Left me with watery eyes, man, water falls out my chin
I toss this verse in the rock, make sure it won't be forgot
So if you know me or not, or if you know me a lot
This for my mother of mine, my heart and my soul
She started my world, she gave me my bones and gave me my home
Me and my right-hand man, the only brother of mine
Give him my left hand too, he never left me behind
I talk that Rogue Dog shit for fools that bleed they veins
I talk that Rogue Dog shit for those that cry for days
I talk that Rogue Dog shit for dogs behind the cage
I talk that Rogue Dog shit until I leave the game, the game of life

Wake up, jumped out my bed (Fuck)
I'm in the man-made hell, shit, I think I'm better off dead
I'm praying for the Lord that forgave me
No chores, I'm asking you to save me
I'm only eighteen, so I'm a dumb fuck
Trying hard to survive without getting stuck
But that's the life and it's me, I guess
Ese's way, deep shame, two of the less
Can't run away from another trigger
With these pimp hoes, crackheads and drug dealers
I'm thugging for my stripes and tagging up walls
And getting respect as a young dog (That's right)
It ain't nothing like the street life
You better be strapped with your dump 'cause life's a bitch, right?
But I guess I gots to handle mine
I'ma hand my nine and let the hands of time (The game, dog)

Street life is the only life I know
Street life, we're so far away from home
Street life, got a thousand miles to go
Street life, we're so far away from home

See, the same ones that were going
Through the same thing I was going through
We just chose to do it together
And I'm proud of being a homie
Fuck what they say about us being troublemakers
And calling us outlaws because we carry guns
See, we choose to take the problems into our own hands
The victim isn't behind bars
I'm a motherfucking street nigga

Street life is the only life I know
Street life, we're so far away from home
Street life, got a thousand miles to go
Street life, we're so far away from home

We're so far away from home
I got a thousand miles to go
We're so far away from home
Got a thousand miles to go
It's that street life, you know
