Keyshia Cole
Streets Is a Motha
[Chorus 1]
Streets is a mothafucka
Tryna get my hustle on
Day and night, slangin' strong
PO's got me creeping low
Streets is a mothafucka
Ain't no way out for a hustler
Dime bags, kilos
Keep me from being cold
Streets is a mothafucka
[Verse 1]
Growing up in the hood
Smoke good, bar low
On bars, buy dope
Gotta watch my back
Cause these cats want my cheese, n***a please
I gotta feed my family
Test me, you gon' sleep
Cause I'm chasing this paper
No way out, gon' make one
Get to move up some
It's been long enough
[Chorus 2]
Streets is a mothafucka
Tryna get my hustle on
Day and night, slangin' strong
PO's got me craving low
Streets is a mothafucka
Contemplating this here
Never late, won't win, never mean it
Haters always gon' be heated
Streets is a mothafucka
[Verse 2]
Nobody knows our shit
We see day in, day out, homies die in these streets
Mama's heat cut off, I gotta make this cheese
Social services ain't doin' a goddamn thing
Get up on out of here, I can't die in this place
Post something, drink some for the homies that I miss everyday
[Chorus 1]
Streets is a mothafucka
Tryna get my hustle on
Day and night, slangin' strong
PO's got me creeping low
Streets is a mothafucka
Ain't no way out for a hustler
Dime bags, kilos
Keep me from being cold
Streets is a mothafucka
[Verse 3]
I was raised in this game, thug life in my veins
Will this shit ever change, I can't say
Every dream that I've had, it crushed in my face
Hustles, all I know for me no other way
Pay homage to my father, what the hell for?
Streets raised me til' I aged
And I'm serving time, ask me why
[Chorus 2]
Streets is a mothafucka
Tryna get my hustle on
Day and night, slangin' strong
PO's got me craving low
Streets is a mothafucka
Contemplating this here
Never late, won't win, never mean it
Haters always gon' be heated
Streets is a mothafucka
[Bridge]
Streets is a mothafucka
Tell me why the streets is a mothafucka
Everybody's people low, running back and forth
Trying to get that glow
On these streets yeah, it's so cold
Trying to get that paper, trying to feed my family
I'm trying to get the neighbors to stop calling the po-po's on me
[Chorus 1]
Streets is a mothafucka
Tryna get my hustle on
Day and night, slangin' strong
PO's got me creeping low
Streets is a mothafucka
Ain't no way out for a hustler
Dime bags, kilos
Keep me from being cold
Streets is a mothafucka
