DJ Yella - Streets Won't Let Me Go lyrics

[Intro: Yella] Gangsta! [Verse 1: Dresta] A life time, a bad luck It's sad but the n***a stayed strong Pray everyday that my life goes on Cause the streets ain't givin a black man sh** So my attitude is: you can s** a fat man's dick Tricks in my face for my snaps, cause I'm rappin I puts them in their place when I pulls up my strap and slap 'em Backwards with the theory of my anger n***a's so crazy on the daily talkin strangers Wanna hit the stick, I'm scared of the Bombay Andre, never was a dope fiend anyway I'd rather lay back in the cut, be corrupt, and f** sh** up Because I'm stuck in the streets [Hook: Michel'le w/ minor variations] It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go Sometimes I wish, I find some where to go [Verse 2: Dresta] Damn, it's a shame, I blame myself for my bad luck A young buck n***a growin up, gave a mad f** I'm rollin through at night sh** in papers Give hoes the vapors and live in skyscrapers But I guess I tried to move too fast So the lord had to stop my black a** with a blast (*Gun Shot*) One shot to my back, makin small tracks Think of my life where am I tryin not to fall flat As I swell, people yell, damn he hit Dre My n***a Dale rushed me to M-L-K Blankin out, but still thinkin 'bout survival When a n***a didn't even have my post on the rival I tell my mamma, yeah, I love you born to hug you not dug you Being able to d**h from the cradle [Hook: Michel'le w/ minor variations] [Verse 3: Dresta] Now as I lay half dead I cried And wonder why I'mma gonna die Well, how hard I tried to change and rearrange my plans to be a man Divided we fall, united we stand But the lord helped the n***a through this mess Even though, I still got a 9 slug in my chest But still the n***a can walk down Kimp Even though my arm trims and I walk with a limb But I'm blessed to be alive and well Doin swell, not in jail And damn sure not in hot hell So next time you're comin down my row If it sounds to flow I'll be prepare to go, so y'all [Hook: Michel'le w/ variations] [Outro: Michel'le w/ variations] I got to do some way I got to do way I gotta go I'm searchin'
