Here's the tale of a black male raised in these city streets Out here hustling to make ends meet in a world so corrupt ran by greed, money and the power for me, I'm a survivor I do what I have to and only God can me for that
So before you cash your down on me I want you to take a look at in the mirror And ask to pray for you 'Cause all I'm asking is to pray for me, understand
I was born around gangstas, and killers Drug dealers with math figures making scrilla In the of Chi, the home of the Gs If ya don't work, ya eat that's been the code of the streets
As for me, I was up at an early age Learned how to cook cane, started to gang And it's a shame, I chose game But see knuckle headed nigga with no one to blame
And I'ma gonna keep on under the street lights And be wondering which nigga wanna my life Until then I'm two feet in front of you haters
I'm living the street life and I just get away I don't know if gonna make it to another day So every I pray, oh, I pray
I'm the street life and I just can't get away I don't if I'ma gonna make it to another day So night, I pray
Well, I'm surrounded by rats, roaches and dope My whole world is being weighed up on a triple Man, I don't know whats in for me god I reach 21? Why is life so damn hard?
See thats the that's asked And is a heaven or hell can the young black live Or he be chained in the cell I know as for me I only trusted a few I had to hustle to survive now, what else I do
They say, there's chances for everybody that's That little girl had no chance that bullet hit I it blew to the sky and all you heard was a cry Oh Lord, let my baby die
I'm the street life and I just can't get away I don't know if I'ma gonna make it to day So every night I pray, oh, I
