crucifix - these streets lyrics

[chorus]
i know what i’ve seen, i know what i can’t forget
i don’t know nothing but these streets
i’m so tired of selling drugs, hustlin’ and bustin’ guns
but i don’t know nothing but these streets

[verse 1]
i started out never lookin’ back on my past, living like the world around me was about to crash. i never had sh– but a dream and a blunt in my pocket… no hope but the roach that burns out when i drop it. i don’t give a d-mn about a pig, i’m breakin’ the law. go get the pistol at your crib, i got two in my draws. i been packin’ a piece since i stood four foot tall, never trusted a busta with a bigger mouth than his b-lls. sixteen as a runnaway, gang war gun play. seventeen lettin’ shots blow on the highway. eighteen feelin’ as hard as god. nineteen lookin’ at a punk judge on a gun charge. i ain’t beggin’ b— , put me in jail… look at where the h-ll i’m at now, i’m living in h-ll. what’s life? i end up dead or incarcerated, with free room and board, saying “look mom i made it… and i hate it.”

[verse 2]
i bought four or five zs with my cash, and now i got four or five tweakers on my -ss. every single one wants a gram or two, but that’s how that powder do when them fools finally choose to live like them junkies do. they wuz born to lose, but i wuz born to profit. what you lookin’ for cuz i bet you that i got it. i got that powder, let them eat it, then convince them that they need it, they believe it and you’re seein’ profits rising like a p-n-s. i ain’t got no truck on 24’s, ain’t got no spinnin’ rims or no lamborgini doors… i’ve always been poor, but i will let you know. i got a 44 and i bet i’ll let it blow. dead cold. n0body heard it when your -ss was gettin’ murdered. so i leave that stinky body in a building that’s deserted. how perverted and absurd of me to k!ll you undeservedly. but in time there’s sure to be a reason to occur to me…

[verse 3]
i lost everything i had so fast, and seen young lives shattered like broken gl-ss. life ain’t fair, so it seems, but i know what it means to be a child and let a bad decision k!ll your dreams. one minute on the corner sellin’ them sacks, the next minute you’ve lost years you can never get back. everybody makes mistakes homez, but f— it… ain’t everybody blessed to get the chance to learn from it. i’m a man now, i understand now that life’s hard, but it’s all in god’s hands now. i find comfort in knowin’ i’m blind, but still seein’ that his hand’s a lot bigger than mine. they can take my life from me, put two in my chest. but if i died for a reason then they’re only k!lling my flesh. if i can rise above this wrong i was taught to repeat, they can’t judge me for only ever knowin’ these streets
