t. karras - geek meets street lyrics
[intro]
what happens when the geek meets the street?
i said, what happens when the geek meets the street?
[verse 1]
i’m a geek livin’ hard on the streets
two sides distinct but together we complete
one side knowledge, other side realness
times me forms the one that you cannot mess with
i walk through the ghetto and i feel no fear
i speak the truth, the stuff they don’t wanna hear
i take my sk!lls, parlay it into a career
i’m so distressed cause i lost a lot of peers
i play video games and i drink 40 ounces
old english, all i do is down it
i dress and act like i want to be seen
to be a hip+hop rapper, it has always been my dream
i’m conflicted between being good or being bad
makes me wish that they could understand
what it’s like when a geek is born street
i’m the next generation, cue the paramount peak
[chorus]
i’m what happens when the geek and the streets combine
i got two sides, two personas, two different minds
i may be nice but i could f+ck you up
i may be humble but don’t you press my luck
i may dress urban and use ghetto slang
that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with my brain
i’m just that way cause hip+hop raised me
a nerd who can emcee, just my identity
[verse 2: gr3ys0n]
smash
this what happens when the geek meets the streets
they fuse together, reign forever while lookin’ like me
get the trucks to f+ck you up if you’re askin’ for beef
mix it in with my rhymin’ watching dbz
fake gangsta’s getting psyche because of all the lights
they still wack on these tracks, i don’t get all the hype
hip+hop is my life, not a stereotype
radio raheem, y’all don’t know what it’s like
to get told that you can’t cause you blend in the night
to like anime and get told that you’re white
a pacifist to pass a fist or else it’s your life
i’m the geek from the streets, i’ve been through the fights
never really drink beer, i just sip on some saki
turn up with og, we the life of the party
get a sunkist chick with a breast like nami
grew up with toonami, now they’re calling me kami
[chorus]
i’m what happens when the geek and the streets combine
i got two sides, two personas, two different minds
i may be nice but i could f+ck you up
i may be humble but don’t you press my luck
i may dress urban and use ghetto slang
that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with my brain
i’m just that way cause hip+hop raised me
a nerd who can emcee, just my identity
i’m what happens when the geek and the streets combine
i got two sides, two personas, two different minds
i may be nice but i could f+ck you up
i may be humble but don’t you press my luck
i may dress urban and use ghetto slang
that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with my brain
i’m just that way cause hip+hop raised me
a nerd who can emcee, just my identity
