Beat The Streets

(Ayy, J.R)

I'm a street nigga that got motivated (to do what?)
To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (what they tell you?)
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous (what could happen?)
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin', nigga
(That's the chances that you takin', nigga)

Or get locked up and you might not make it back
I swear I know some niggas locked up that ain't never comin' back, I hope
I tell 'em close they eyes and picture theyself anywhere
(Picture yourself anywhere)
But when they open they eyes up, they're still right there
That's a different pain
I swear that type shit make me nervous (why?)
I could've been right there telling myself it weren't worth it (damn)
They ain't support him while he was living
But they showed up to his service
He had no one to call
But now look how packed out that church is (R.I.P)

They told us, "Be real, nigga" (told us "Be real, nigga")
Niggas that told us that weren't even real niggas
(They weren't even real niggas)
You don't get shit for being real, nigga
(You don't get shit for being real)
But we still sacrifice
So we deal with it like some real niggas, for real, nigga
(But we still sacrifice, so we deal with it like some real niggas)

I'm a street nigga that got motivated (to what?)
To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin', nigga (chances that you takin', nigga)

Or get popped up, you might not be able to walk no more
Lot of niggas got popped up and them boys ain't never gon' talk no more
Lot of niggas ain't gon' breathe no more (never)
Lot of niggas ain't gon' speak no more (never)
It's too late to make a smart decision
They can't think no more (it's too late)
Nigga, we ain't never been no bitches (never)
But we had to start takin' life serious (we had to)
Lot of niggas died over they Insta
All them niggas did was post they pictures (at all)
Niggas ain't tryna sit in no prison (thank God)
They just post pictures tryna get visits (we gone)
Thankin' God for whatever he give me
All this shit can be gone in an instant

They told us, "Be real, nigga" (told us, "Be real, nigga")
Niggas that told us that weren't even real niggas
(They weren't even real niggas)
You don't get shit for being real nigga
(You don't get shit for being real nigga)
But we still sacrifice
So we deal with it like some real niggas, for real, nigga
(But we still drill niggas, for real)

I'm a street nigga that got motivated (to what?)
To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (know these streets)
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin', nigga
(That's the chances that you takin', nigga)
I'm a street nigga that got motivated (got motivated)
To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (yeah, they'll take you)
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous (they won't tell you that)
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin', nigga (they won't tell you that)
