[Omarion:]
uh, yea, once again
[chorus:]
I've been goin' through somethings (ohhh),
I been strugglin' with my inner and (yea,yea), I hustle, I'll do what I
can to get this money,(uh,yea,listen)I know I promised you somethings (somethings),
There's gotta be a better way,
It's not easy to make that change,
The streets keep callin' me
[verse1:]
Last night tryin' to make it home (make it home),
I get this call on my phone (on my cell),
Stop yellin' Slow down, I can't understand a word you sayin',
Did ya say my n***a got k**ed? (is he dead),
Did ya say he didn't make it? (is he dead),
Please tell me you know who did this, I'm on my way and somebody's gonna get it
Mash the pettle on the highway-seen him,
Heard my baby in the back ground - pleanin,
Come home and leave it alone -
It's out of the question girl it's on
What about his new boy child,
Did ya know that he was born?
I don't want to hear this sh** right now, when they just stretched my n***a out
[chorus]
[verse2:]
Call my name sayin' how you gonna get paid,
No education 'cause of minimum wage,
Minimum wage equals minimum pay,
And you know real n***as want to play,
Won't you come on and move this way,
School don't garuntee a higher pay,
That's the sh** that'll get me locked away,
Man they tryin' to give a n***a all day
Now I'm out here everynight comin' in late,
If you slip then I'm comin' for the take,
It's goin' fast and I need to hit the breaks,
The greater the risk the more you make,
All my thoughts are in the house, what about just shuttin' down,
But girl I really can't quit right now,
Notice on the floor they tryin' to through us out
[chorus]
[hook:]
Although (although),
I was raised right (ooooo),
Still these streets ain't nothin' nice they can't change the coast of life,
And you know that i know (i know),
That I must grow (must grow),
See my kids grow,
But still the streets are all I know
