The Streets Calling

[Verse] Uh, uh, ay Let it breathe And I was like five years old when I first slept in a trap Ankles gettin' cold, an iron gridin' my back My daddy pitched bricks until sunlight Told me that dyin' on the block was hella dumb life Every time them boys knocked the laws at the door He say, "Boy, play dead, don't say no" (don't say nothin') And I didn't, they was laughin' callin' me a baby g And then my river of blood got lost at sea And now we ain't sayin' no names (sayin' no names) But shot went to the pen, Goldie went to the grave He a dead shot, Vlad's son Now they had sons, their sons had sons, their sons had sons My mama in a Benz, the anxiety live within The same friends within who threw their pigment off a bridge (off a bridge) A trail of tears drips quick from a cracked pier The revolution's here Stand up and wipe 'em away They slayed my Nyaway I got bloods in Nam I'm lying to my mom She say these streets done made a man out me They say this ain't convenient gangster conscience (ain't convenient gangster conscience) It's makin' me believe And only you can stop what you see And now the revolution's here Stand up, wipe them tears away They killed my Nyaway (they killed my Nyaway) I got bloods from Nam (I got bloods from Nam) And rest my dead homies She said the streets were their only peace I said it wasn't meant to be Now my young gulley squad's eternally free Boom, boom, boom, boom Boom, boom, boom Free
