De La Soul - The Corner lyrics

[Dave:] Yeah, the 15 millionth time, 15 and 1 Check it out Yo Com, how you rhyme to this slow sh** Yeah yeah, check it out Yo memories of the corner, we huddled and stayed in trouble Guzzled on 40 O-Z's and played the double and back We doublin crack, no wonder why they fear us We cussin cause our mommas couldn't hear us Young lovers'll cuddle at 15 sh**, they seen the struggle so That makes him a man con-sidered he got plans but She don't understand that this is where them fools bust at Same corner where she go and catch the school bus at It ain't changed a bit, we stand circle and spit bars Cigarette bu*ts scattered like gla** shattered and pops he play the corner 'til his day comes, DAMN! Ambulances on the corner but hey, now it's offi-cial Cisco was the daze them cups of E&J Went down and hit a warm spot even in the winter's cold We had our snorkel and our winter playboys on These are the corners we was sent to play boys on Our socks is pockets, the guns is rockets It's where the after school fight was at, brand new bikes was at Fila suits, Kangols and new Nikes was at Same corner is today's same yesterday [Chorus: x2] I wish that I cold give you this feelin I wish that I cold give you this feelin We was livin on them corners, had a n***a rhymin, drinkin Whylin, potted out, livin HIGH! [Pos:] We live it real, hard, revoke your zeal God don't come around here no mo' So why you screamin HIS NAME in vain when the pain hits Pick yourself up and get to a hospital quick But leave out the bit, about what went down I know they hound us for hawkin Just a flesh wound, stitch it up, keep it walkin n***az on the corners loyal, they ain't talkin (they ain't talkin) Put down the sea of chalk and The use of chalk is for lines of hopscotch Or tracin dead bodies for crimes that got botched For just crime commitin and it's, time to fit it in the schedule, cause them crosstown n***az came to our corner sprayin that lead you pull Ain't nuttin deeper than pilin in the car with the streetsweeper so we can clear every star off the corner [Chorus]
