Here's the of a young black male raised in these city streets Out here hustling to make ends meet in a world that's so That's ran by greed, and the power for me, I'm a survivor I do what I have to and God can judge me for that
So before you your stones down on me I want you to take a at yourself in the mirror And ask to pray for you 'Cause all I'm asking is to pray for me, understand
I was around gangstas, hustlers and killers Drug dealers math figures making hella scrilla In the city of Chi, the of the Gs If ya don't work, ya don't eat that's the code of the streets
As for me, I was up at an early age Learned how to cook cane, to gang bang And it's a damn shame, I chose But see knuckle headed nigga with no one to blame
And I'ma gonna keep on tipping under the street And be wondering which wanna take my life Until then I'm staying two in front of you haters
I'm living the street life and I can't get away I don't know if I'ma make it to another day So every I pray, oh, I pray
I'm living the street and I just can't get away I don't know if I'ma gonna it to another day So night, I pray
Well, I'm surrounded by rats, roaches and fiends My whole world is weighed up on a triple beam Man, I don't know whats in for me god Will I reach 21? Why is so damn hard?
See thats the question that's And is there a or hell can the young black live Or he be chained in the cell I don't know as for me I only a few I had to to survive now, what else could I do
