Tales From the Streets

Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Nigga you trippin is you blind
You see the street lights on
You best get on
Before you never make it home
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Nigga you trippin is you blind
You see the street lights on
You best get on
Before you never make it home

They ain't never met a kid like me
My momma work the late shift
Daddy left fo' I was 3
I call the streets my home
Never had my own room
It was a shoot out most days
Niggas be dead before noon
The OGs dead or in jail
Most days my stomach was empty
Feel like we livin in hell
But we still here for a reason
I watched a grown man cry
While he watched his son bleeding
That bullet ain't have no name
He held him 'till he stopped breathing

Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Nigga you trippin is you blind
You see the street lights on
You best get on
Before you never make it home
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Nigga you trippin is you blind
You see the street lights on
You best get on
Before you never make it home

Stepped out the nest too early
Early bird gets the worm
Seen pagers and razors
Niggas at gas stations
Just tryna feed the fam
Profit stashed by the rubber bands
She met the plug and said what's good
We from the same neighborhood
I'm tryna get to a bag
Have things that I never had
He said come get in this car
Rims was 24 inches
He said I'll make you a star
Not two blocks down get pulled over
Says he's a known sex trafficker
And he's wanted for murder

Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Better get home nigga
The streets lights on
Nigga you trippin is you blind
You see the street lights on
You best get on
Before you never make it home

Is death what it takes
For my pops to see that I need 'em
Never been fishing
Never had special attention
Leading to different addictions
I can't love a woman right
Cause the only love I seen
Was my momma and daddy fight
I can't seem to find a way
To love a woman right
Cause the only love I seen
Was my momma and daddy fight
I can't seem to find a way
To love a woman right
What's the point in coming home
If two wrongs can still make a right
