  • Uh-huh uh huh uh
  • Gee-gee-geyeah
  • Baby, watchin, streets
  • Uh-huh uh huh uh
  • You don't have to look
  • Uh-huh uh
  • The streets is watching
  • Check it, check
  • Uh-huh uh, check
  • Look, if i shoot you, i'm brainless
  • But if you shoot me, then you're famous -- what's a n*gga to do?
  • When the, streets is watching, blocks keep clocking
  • Waiting for you to break, make your first mistake
  • Can't ignore it, that's the fastest way to get extorted
  • But my time is money, at twenty-five, i can't afford it
  • Beef is sorted like godiva, chocolates
  • N*ggaz you bought it, i pull the slide back and ***** it
  • Plan aborted, you and your mans get a pass
  • This rhyme, you're operating on f*ck time
  • Y'all n*ggaz ain't worth my shells, all y'all n*ggaz
  • Tryin to do is hurt my sales, and stop trips to john mcnale
  • The type to start a beef then, run to the cops
  • When i see you in the street got, one in the drop
  • Would i rather be on tour getting a, hundred a pop
  • Taking pictures with some b*tches, in front of the drop
  • The streets is watching
  • *chorus*
  • When the, streets is watching
  • Blocks keep clocking
  • Waiting for you to break, make your first mistake
  • Can't ignore it
  • Now it's hard not to kill n*ggaz
  • It's like a full time job not to kill n*ggaz, can't chill
  • The streets is watching you, when you froze your arms
  • N*ggaz wanna test you and your gun goes warm
  • Can't get caught with your feet up, gotta keep your heat up
  • Sweet n*ggaz running 'round swearing sh*t is sweeter
  • Once you're tagged lame the game is follow the leader
  • Everybody want a piece of your scrilla, so you gotta keep it realer
  • Kidnap n*ggaz wanna steal ya
  • Broke n*ggaz want no cash, they just wanna kill ya
  • For the name, n*ggaz don't know the rules
  • Disrespectin the game, want you to blow your cool
  • Force your hand, of course that man's plottin
  • Smarten up, the streets is watching, it's on
  • *chorus*
  • My street mentality flip bricks forever, know me and money
  • We like armed co-defendants, n*gga we stick together
  • Sh*t whatever for this cheddar ran my game into the ground
  • Hustle harder to see if indictment time came around
  • Now you can look up and down the streets and i can't be found
  • Put in twenty-four hour shifts but, that ain't me now
  • Got a face too easy to trace, n*ggaz mouths got slow leaks
  • Had to hide between my workers, couldn't play those streets
  • She got his face like mercury you jerkin me? hectic
  • Had to call upon my wolves to send, n*ggaz the message
  • I said this: 'let's play fair and we can stay here
  • I'm trying to transform you boyz ii men like daycare'
  • Hey there's money to be made and, n*ggaz got the picture
  • Stopped playing with my paper and, we got richer
  • Then hard times fell upon us, half of my staff
  • Had warrants, the other half, in the casket lay dormant
  • I felt like life was cheating me, for the first time
  • In my life i was getting money but it was like my concious was eating me
  • Was this a lesson god teaching me? was he saying that?
  • I'm playing the game straight from hell from which few came back
  • Like bad coke, pimp or die, was my mindframe bad
  • Was n*ggaz thinkin simplify was turning cocaine crack?
  • Ain't a whole lot of brain to that, just trying to maintain a stack
  • And knock a lot like two trains that's on the same track
  • 'fore i get my life together like the oars i bring back
  • In the bottom of the pot where no, water gets hot
  • Got my transporter take it 'cross the border then stop
  • Set up shop with a quarter of rock, here's the plan
  • For three straight weeks, n*ggaz slaughtered the block
  • But you know the game is 'lluted, f*cked up me and my dues
  • One drop can wipe a n*gga out, faster than the cops
  • And this unstable way of living just, had to stop
  • Half of my n*ggaz got time, we done real things
  • By ninety-four became the subject of half of y'all n*ggaz rhymes
  • Public apoligies to the families of those caught up in my street
  • But that's the life for us lost souls brought up in the streets
  • The life and times of a demonic mind, excited with crime
  • And the lavish luxuries that just excited my mind
  • I figured, 'sh*t why risk myself i just write it in rhymes
  • And let you feel me, and if you don't like it then fine'
  • The mindstate, of a n*gga who boosted the crime rate
  • So high in one city they send national guards to get me
  • Ya dig?
  • The streets
