[Intro] Lord, hear me Please, oh, hear this, God [Pre-Chorus] Rose from the mud all by myself, I ain't have a place to go Time from the judge he facin' with a court-appointed lawyer Sides, ain't no trust, sometimes I wonder, "Why did I know?" Sometimes I wish that I could press rewind and take you back when I was normal I'm on my sh*t just like a plunger, no wonder they want to see me fall Down on my dick, they didn't see, Stevie Wonder, but when I ran the quad Dyin' with my clique, this sh*t ain't 'bout no deposits, I'm wit' 'em, right or wrong Dyin' up in a ditch, you shouldn't have played with a mobstеr, we spin to knock 'em off [Chorus] Street life, street lifе, street life Street life You might lose your life to the trenches You might lose your life to the trenches, yeah Street life, street life, street life Street life You might lose your life to the prison You might lose your life to the prison [Verse] My mama always told me, "Time will heal" I'm talkin' way before the come-up, we was thuggin', slangin' iron for real I'm talkin' deep down in the gutter, bread and bu*ter 'fore I had a deal Jump out all black, then upped that cutter on the backstreet, ni**as dyin' for real I got your back, you got my back, protect the brand, yeah, that's just what it is
Back before my grandma popped the pills I played the streets, sh*t got me gettin' ill These bullets burn like gonorrhea, so you don't let no one get near And they don't never ask how Quando feel But send a text like, "Can you pay my bills?" Realest I met when I look in the mirror, oh [Pre-Chorus] Rose from the mud all by myself, I ain't have a place to go Time from the judge he facin' with a court-appointed lawyer Sides, ain't no trust, sometimes I wonder, "Why did I know?" Sometimes I wish that I could press rewind and take you back when I was normal I'm on my sh*t just like a plunger, no wonder they want to see me fall Down on my dick, they didn't see, Stevie Wonder, but when I ran the quad Dyin' with my clique, this sh*t ain't 'bout no deposits, I'm wit' 'em, right or wrong Dyin' up in a ditch, you shouldn't have played with a mobster, we spin to knock 'em off [Chorus] Street life, street life, street life Street life You might lose your life to the trenches You might lose your life to the trenches, yeah Street life, street life, street life Street life You might lose your life to the prison You might lose your life to the prison
