[Hook]
I-I-I-I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long
[Verse 1]
See, I've been wandering the streets
Watchin' everything from the hunger to the beef
Never had a brother here to guide my direction
So, I had to learn with the moves of my feet
Had to take a whoopin' or two to learn fightin'
Even though I'm good, I don't even really like it
Had to deal with n***as that be thinkin' they royalty
None them mo'f**ers don't know about loyalty
They talked about it, I watched them talk about it
I got surrounded 20 deep and no one walked up out it
With bats and boots they beat me down, I didn't walk up out it
I came up out the hospital, they wanna talk about it
They claim that they were ride or die, they ran, I had to fight or die
And then these n***as had the nerve to run their jaws about it
Sayin' they apologize and how that sh** won't happen twice
But I don't give out second chances, I tap jaws about it, 'bout it, 'bout it
What about it? I gave no f**s about it
'Cause n***as left me out for dead and gave no f**s about VI
So, I be on my "Uncle Ruckus", I don't trust no new n***as
I left y'all black and blue n***as
So f** your block and all you n***as
So long
[Hook]
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long...
[Verse 2]
I don't open my heart to many women
'Cause of my name, nowadays I'm just some b**h's winnings
For social media, digits, broads get emotions spinnin'
I catch on and they get cut like opening ribbons
I get looked at as a come up
But I ain't stupid, so that's where most of y'all f** up
Wrong cases thought I belonged in the wrong places
Just like I bared my heart to the wrong faces
I've been led on by a woman I was fallin' for
And it's obvious she's made a n***a fall before
So the game you b**hes run, I ain't fallin' for
Now I'm quick to ask, "What's the reason that I'm fallin' for?"
I'm either a rebound as part of your selfish motion
Or 'cause I'm buzzin' I'm a tool to your self-promotion
Whatever your morals was revealed I was a fool to trust
A woman of your grade, now these streets ain't for the two of us
[Hook]
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long...
[Verse 3]
Look, I've developed a bit of bitterness
'Cause this ain't a place of love, and honestly I'm sick of it
I still choose to call it home, although I don't f** with it
Knowing what it comes with, guess I'm a glutton for punishment
n***as only cool when they want somethin' you've got
b**hes play you like a fool 'till you know it, and then it stops
There's no such thing as permanent here and I wanna make a switch
This life got me sitting here sayin' sh** like Jaden Smith
There's lots of people and moments I wish I could forget
But I ain't leavin' yet, cause I wish to do it with no regrets
The only thing keepin' me here now is my business
No b**h, no homie, just work that's unfinished
No love, no clique, just feelings left diminished
And once it's all over, I'll be gone in an instant
So to the woman who did nothin' but leave
To the n***as in whom I believed
Don't utter nothin' when I leave
I'm ghost
[Hook]
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
Baby I've been on
Baby I've been on these
I've been on these streets for too long, too long, too long
