[Intro]
Zaytoven
[Verse 1]
They think I'm anonymous
I'm steppin' like a hippopotamus
I'm not by myself, it's a lot of us
I don't pray by myself, it's a lot of us
When I move in the street, I be cautious (yeah, I be cautious)
I'm in the trenches, like, where is the love?
They holdin' it hostage (where is the love?)
How can I find it, where can I find it? Uh
Time to go do the assignment, uh
You think I can't redefine it, huh?
You know we changin' the climate, huh?
You can still see all my diamonds, huh?
They tried to take all my dogs away
Cruella Deville, he tried to spin I told him to chill
Losin' a brother, I know how that feel
[Chorus]
Streets on fire, streets on fire
Streets on fire, streets on fire
Please don't die, please
Streets on fire, streets on fire
[Verse 2]
I pray for Atlanta when I'm in the city
I'm speakin' up just so the trenches can hear me
It's hard to put smoke out when you in the chimney
Too solid fasho, it's not on me, it’s in me
Came a long way like some Indian Remy
Never been scary for battle, just send me
I'm from the jungle, no, you cannot pimp me
Even your barber know he cannot temp me
I miss the city when I'm on the plane
I miss the city, ‘cause it ain’t the same
Takeoff, we love you, I put that on gang
Skoob, we love you, I put that on game
Talkin' to God, I'ma put it in slang
They tryna pipe up, but don't got the energy
I need bifocals, I'm lookin' for frenemies
They gon' lie with their hand on the Bibly
We finally made it, but still need direction
Flooded my neck and my wrist, blessing
I know some people just switched, lesson
Almost got hit with that Smith, Wesson
I made a choice and I quit, guessing
Pull up the church and I'm big, flexin'
Just told the usher I got a confession
I'm with the deacons that tote the protection
[Chorus]
‘Cause the streets on fire, streets on fire
Streets on fire, streets on fire
Please don't die, please
Streets on fire, streets on fire
