Verse 1
C
Bm
D
Brown prodders, well they scream,
Bloodshed,
teardrops in closed caskets
Bm
D
Shaking my head daily,
tripping off the madness
G
Em
Another fam ily, broken hearted
C
D
Filled with that sadness
Another youngster can't
be straight
Clips is a trip,
Bm
D
how a kid can switch so quick
From getting good grades,
G
Em
smoking chronic and picnics
he tells his opper
Bm
Em
Really thought y 'all meant Boyd,
but he won't
D
Bm
Now he's just another name on the wall
C
D
Now a thang of the past,
homies blessed his name
Bm
D
Em
Rest in peace under his hood tats
G
Em
I feel how can I give back
These youngsters dying,
C
D
getting hooked on drugs
D
Em
Tell me if I'm blocking
Rays just like them,
Bm
D
grew up to be defiant
But I see things different now,
G
Em
why can't I keep quiet?
Yeah, raced just like them,
Time to speak up,
G
Em
My life at times, and that street life
Em
D
Bm
Street love, street life
Em
Bm
Living that street life, street life
C
D
Street life, street life
Bm
D
been had to get the same old story
Fools thinkin' I owe them something,
G
Em
but they do nothin' for me
Em
D
I don't really understand
But I stay focused,
Bm
D
tryna set a new example
Things been gettin' heavy,
but these tests of life
different episodes
C
D
A whole different channel,
but I try to make a change
Bm
D
Got out of the gang life,
just raisin' my three kids
G
Em
Just doin' my thing right
Still seein' my enemies
Bm
D
Bm
Stay focused on my pa per,
But now, honestly, I feel
Bm
D
I have a new vision
A whole new mission
and they can't provide
Bm
D
Can't even be in their lives
Nowadays you're third strike
C
D
Cause you can't get your life back
Rather give a youngster a job
Bm
Em
Then a 9 strap and that's the truth
Bm
D
Tryna spit this game to the youth
Kept it real from the start
G
Em
The difference between me and you
100 % uncut
Em
D
All the youngsters tryna
make a difference
Livin' street life, street life
G

My life at times in that street life
Livin' street life, street life

My life at times in that street life
Street life, street life,

Monotonous, repetitive,

G
Glad to see my homies out doin' their thing,
Em
maintainin'
I keep the grass cut,
C
Em
gotta watch the snakes
D
Bm
even in your own circle
betrayed by one of my dead ones
Bm
D
tryna see my downfall
C
D
to rejecting all his calls
even bought diapers for his babies
you'll get burned
Bm
D
even by your own family
C
tryna send a message to these kids about real
D
G
Em
ity evolution of a genius is a criminal's diary
I spit my heart and soul
Bm
D
and these lines don't like to shed a tear
G
Em
so I let the song cry ain't
tryna be a preacher
C
Em
Just have a strong message,
Wish I could take it back
Was it 357?

That's a castle straight to heaven or hell

Livin' that street life, street life

Livin' street life, street life

My life at times in that street light
