[Hook x2: Dez and Monica]
Every time I try to leave this game
These streets keep on calling me (streets just keep calling me)
Just keep on calling me (just keep on calling me)
[Verse 1]
Now this ghetto got me crazy and these streets got me trapped
Many times I tried to leave but this game keep pulling me back
In a circle full of crime bout to lose my mind
sh** I wanna make a change but I just keep wasting my time
Ain't no real future selling dope only few make it out
For a ghetto n***a like me got too many golds in my mouth
I can't get a job ain't nobody gonna hire a thug
And my rap sheet consists of 187 and d**
And going in and outta jail everybody say I'm a fool
But even the President make mistakes, sh** I ain't perfect dude
I gotta do something ain't nobody gonna give me nothing
Gotta mouth to feed
So I'm gonna keep these fiends jumping on my block n***as
sh** I'm the man outchea, I'm the jury and judge
So don't f** with me cuz
It's like the Vegas Strip
These streets is always open
As long as the money roar, I'm gonna keep this city small
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2]
Now see the hood it's all good
You ain't highly educated, so you just can't have sh**
Cause you will be playa hated
My boy just bought a new Benz now he's the man in the city
Now it was cool at first but these n***as started actin sh**ty
I tried to go straight but these fools just wouldn't let me
A n***a see me in the mall so a n***a tried to sweat me
It was cool for a minute yeah, I thought I was free
But I knew I couldn't leave cause these streets keep calling me
