In These Streets - Z-Ro, Nino Brown

In these streets

My niggas up to no good

All we do is fuck shit up in the hood

In these streets

I would fix this shit if I could

Since I can’t, I’m on that wish a nigga would

In these streets

I keep smoking until my mind gone (Ayy)

Mindin' my fuckin' business, that’s what my mind’s on (Ayy)

Building something from nothing, type of shit I’m on (Ayy)

Ain’t got shit positive to say, stay off of my phone

I done been broke before, sold dope before, went door-to-door bricks (Bricks)

Saw a fiend overdose, puttin' dope in nose, shit got under my skin (Skin)

Big plate, cuttin' crack with a big blade

Sold dope since sixth grade, half ounce to a twenty-eight

At twenty-eight, I was gettin' money, want a big house, want a couple hundred

Turned thirty, I was facin' thirty, but I beat the case 'cause they paid the

jury

Big jewelry, big Rolex, still’ll get the dope to your doorstep

Pull up with the top back, see through the roof, that’s no cap

I don’t rap, I talk shit, blue rag, that’s on Crip

Big fire, it’s on hip, miss Pop, Pimp, Neighborhood Nip

Real nigga three sixty-five and I’m still real at a leap year

Big gun, Yosemite Sam, nigga better run like Heathcliff

In these streets

My niggas up to no good

All we do is fuck shit up in the hood (In the hood)

In these streets

I would fix this shit if I could

Since I can’t, I’m on that wish a nigga would (Wish a nigga would)

In these streets

I keep smoking until my mind gone (Ayy)

Mindin' my fuckin' business, that’s what my mind’s on (Ayy)

Building something from nothing, type of shit I’m on (Ayy)

Ain’t got shit positive to say, stay off of my phone

Uh, same shit in 713, same shit in the 305

Forget to watch your back while you pumpin' gas, it’ll be your life (It'll be

your life)

I don’t fuck with none of that feelin' shit, I’ma have to see your vibe

'Cause I go walk, next thing I know, I’m in the dayroom eatin' Frito pies

Jackers see a Batman symbol in the sky any time they see your shine

They might be late to work, but to take your shit from you, they’ll be on time

(Time)

I don’t post a lot 'cause I be on the block, I really don’t be online

And I don’t be set trippin', but y’all already know C-R-I-P on mine

Niggas be givin' these bitches anything they want, but it’ll never be enough

'Cause they ain’t never where they supposed to be, they always be with us

My niggas is hungry, if I don’t feed 'em today, they might eat even us

Yeah, I believe in God, but sometimes I’m like do he believe in us?

In these streets

My niggas up to no good

All we do is fuck shit up in the hood (In the hood)

In these streets

I would fix this shit if I could

Since I can’t, I’m on that wish a nigga would (Wish a nigga would)

Nigga, every hood doin' the same motherfuckin' thing, nigga

She sellin' pussy, he sellin' dope

Ain’t nothin' different but the weather change, nigga

See, you got them pearly gates and you got them hard steel bars, nigga

We used to sell dope, rob, and steal cars, nigga

That’s all we know

And see, a prophet ain’t welcome in his own home

You walk up in the house, this the house of pain where they throw dirt on your

name, nigga

But they forgot you a seed

They can throw dirt

They can throw dirt, but you gotta use that as water, nigga

All you gon' do is grow

All you gon' do is grow, nigga

When you been through it, you gon' get to it, nigga

God gon' catch you before he bless you, nigga

These streets rough and rugged

Everybody livin' like fuck it 'cause all us thuggin', nigga

How you gon' tell us what you have when we the have-nots?

All us got gold teeth and dreadlocks

They throw dirt on your name, nigga

But they forgot you a seed, all you gon' do is grow

All you gon' do is grow, nigga

You gotta stay down 'til you come up, though

Trust me

This shit disgust me, nigga
