[lil boosie]
Off Gate, this what i learned from the streets (talk to em)
Handle your beef (yeaaaaah)
You playing with keys(keys!)
Sleep with your heat (betta)
You a role model lil partner gotta be neat
All hoes aint sweet, they messy (they messy)
Everything happens for a reason but they all lessons
If u stressen then pick ur head up(head up!), n***a,
Get your bread up(bread up!), n***a,
If ur scared, scared n***as get they head bust
I make u catch a heart attack, in starter hatch
Just left downtown i got my 40 back
A situation started, n***a im never smiling
Beast mode until they take me, got that from ivy
Any n***a who watch u up and down want something you got
Why my enemies iffing me got that from pop
If i flop then its back to selling blocks (f** it!!!)
Back to telling n***as they cant hustle in my spot, off the top
My daddy raised me to hate a cop
So all my motherf**in life, i hated cops
Calv rich told me n***as change when u give them blocks
n***a told me when i ride better keep it co*ked
-chorus:-
This what i learned from the streets
Keep it real lil n***a(from the heart)
Keep your steel lil n***a
f** these hoes lil n***a
But get ur roles lil n***a
This what i learned from the streets
Watch ur back lil n***a(watcha back)
Keep it strapped lil n***a(keep it strapped)
You lil hatch lil n***a
A real gutter n***a and ur nuts a lil bigga
[lil boosie verse 2]
Peep all yo surroundings (watch everything)
Money is money so concentrate when u count it
Every n***a who bouncin aint no gangsta a** n***a(believe dat)
And i learned that from richas
Spoil all the dopefiends
I learned that from pitchas
Fred city show me how to roll that k**a
Big loc show me how to come with rhythm
Ever since then ive been the sickest in the system
Donkey, down an jacobs took me on my first mission
I jumped out bustin f** it u aint saying nuthin
Ivy showed me how to cook it up and get it hard
Put me on this j**ellery sh** i miss my boy
Look, no matter how good you treat em (ooooooh)
That dope will make em do evil learn that from that clown jeefers
These n***a turning on they own people(aunti told me)
These n***as devils out here
-chorus-
[shell]
The streets told me boy thugga keep that thang on ya
And f** ur friends cause most n***as they'll change on ya
These streets cold so u gotta keep that heater close
Might be ur boy thats tryin burn u, dog u never know
Man look these hoes aint no better they be vulchers too
I crossed one of those n***as and now they crossing u
Just keep it G and handle business like the bosses do
Know u the sh** but homie keep em flies off of you
Keep ur mouth all open shut when people talk to you
U dont know sh** no matter how much time they offer you
Dont stop until u got enough to a vault or 2
And know one thing its a slight chance ull take a loss or 2
Keep ur eyes open and ya ear all the way to the streets
Its money over everything till u rest in peace
Keep ur eyes open and ya ear all the way to the streets
Its money over everything till u rest in peace
-chorus-
