Verse 1
(E minor) (B minor) (A minor) (D major)
(E minor) (A minor) Up
early in (E minor) the mornin',
flexin' up my British legs
Throwin' up my (A minor) Duke signs,
fuckin' with the street lights
Never knew no (E minor) better,
cause my mommy never taught me
Goin' out to (A minor) get the shit
that mommy never bought me
Only ten years (E minor) old
and I can't stay away from trouble
But you gon' give a (A minor) fuck
cause you ain't never had to struggle
And everybody's (E minor) telling me
it's getting greater later
I need to get my (A minor) shit right now
Cause it ain't shit in my refrigerator
An (E minor) d I done struggled
for my whole life
(B minor) Seeing my (A minor) mama laid up
With a different nigga every night
(E minor) An d when you see me
you can spot a crook (B minor)
(A minor) Because I'm roaming through her
(D major) motherfucking (B minor) pocketbooks
(E minor) I'm going out to get my pay
Cause (A minor) she don't give a
fuck about me anyway
An (E minor) d my daddy's doing two terms
(B minor) And (A minor) all she ever does
is sits around and gets (E minor) shirned
My momma never hugs me
I'm calling (A minor) dudes my family
because these niggas say they love me
(E minor) I'm steady dusting chumps off
(B minor) And (A minor) ready for the battle
if the ship would ever jump off
(E minor) So send my ass to hell
It's either (A minor) be ing covered
up with some dirt
or fucked in a cell
Any (E minor) way that's what it looks like
If (A minor) I don't hurry up
and get my ass across the street like
(E minor) You know the streets is all I know,
this (A minor) is my way of survival
You (D major) know I've been dealt some bad cards,
you know, (E minor) but I gots to play with
What else am I to do, looking for a job,
but until then let my family
(A minor) starve and be broke
So I resort to the street (D major) s
as a source of income,
you know what I'm saying, (E minor) I'm stuck here
I step out on my own block,
and (A minor) everybody's throwing
up the deuce to Lil' J Rock
And (E minor) all my little homies that I hang with
(A minor) are either jacking or mixed up
with this gang shit
(E minor) See it through reality,
never leav (A minor) ing the gang
cause it's the street life men (E minor) tality
My homies got a proposition,
(G major) broke (A minor) a nigga off some chains
and said he'd help in my position
(E minor) So now I'm rollin' with the O .G.'s
Put (A minor) tin' in work on the jack
for some O .C.'s
(E minor) And maybe in a year or two
I'll be (A minor) able to roll in a Benz
like the gangstas do
(E minor) Makin' hoes ride dick,
cause his (A minor) pump broke just with a click
Ain't hittin' on shit,
(E minor) I gotta lock my crew down
And (A minor) set this whole motherfucker
up like a huge town
(E minor) Develop us a (A minor) strong clique,
break my (E minor) pops off some (A minor) dough
While he's locked, I still like (D major) that shit
(E minor) Seeing his little nigga on his own two
(A minor) Do ing shit I heard my pops used to do
(E minor) A real nigga took his crime thing
An (A minor) d had it going on for as time came
I (E minor) got to get my shit right
Until my (A minor) shit gets right
I'm really with the street life
You (E minor) know what upsets me?
Is when whitey (A minor) sit s back
in they lavish homes
And BMWs
(D major) And tell me the streets ain't
the place to be
See (E minor) it from my perspective,
crime restricting,
living on welfare
and governments
cutting their short (A minor) er every year
I'm shorting on education
cause I'm (D major) black, the corner
doesn't promise me a good life,
(E minor) but at least it shows me prom (G major) ise
(E minor) Finally after shit got right,
(B minor) I wasn't (A minor) out of the game
because I'm searching for a new life
But (E minor) I remember what was said,
(B minor) you (A minor) coming alive
the only way you leave out is dead
(E minor) So I'm kinda fucked on (B minor) both ends
I (A minor) thought I had friends,
but I ain't got no fucking (D major) friends
(E minor) Cause if they were my
friends, they'd (B minor) let me break
All these five (A minor) thousand, fuck this shit
I'm (D major) packing my thirty (B minor) -eight
(E minor) But fuck, I gotta stay down
Until it's (A minor) time for me to punch it out
And just lay (E minor) it down
And that's a motherfucking shame
Till (A minor) then I gotta spill another (D major) round
with my little (E minor) gang
So slowly I walked up to it
(B minor) With (A minor) no hesitation,
I broke the window
and jumped (E minor) into it
Unhooked his shit and was headed off
(A minor) I opened up the door,
that's what set it off
(E minor) A nigga came out with a Glock Jack
(A minor) And put a slug in my motherfuckin' back
(E minor) And my so -called friends
Walked me (A minor) out of the game
Cause they don't (D major) know if I'll (B minor) walk again
(E minor) Now tell me what that dude's like
(A minor) Fucked up myself for good
Cause I was wrapped up in the (E minor) streetlight (A minor) (D major)
(E minor)
(A minor)
(D major) (E minor) (B minor) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (A minor)
Background music (E minor) playing. (A minor)
(E minor)
(A minor) (E minor)
(A minor) (E minor)
