Streets Keep Calling

I say
I pray to God
To find the words to describe
The cries of those locked up
And all of those that have died
Over blocks we never owned
But we tried
To provide
And To have a sense of pride
Where only the strong can survive
The blind lead the blind
Wherever my kind reside
You thinking we love dying
Tell the reporter
He lied
It whole lotta love here
While you report the crime
Just because you don't see tears
It don't mean we doing fine
I seen crack take good men
At the height of their prime
Live to make it to get old
And get disrespected by time
Nobody care bout your growth
Nobody care bout you trying
They don't know bout them demons
And how they stay on your mind
And keep calling like

I've been running these streets
Most of my life
I keep running
I've been trying my best
To change my life
I keep trying
Hhhhhh
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling me

God blessed momma
Cause she did her best
Tried to pull her through
But couldn't rest
Because my bubble vest
Was bullet proof
Full of truth to shoot the game
I'm ready for my stain
Take aim at these lames
And shoot some thangs
Explains all the strain
The game puts on the brain
See niggas
Acting strange
The drama don made em change
To gone for me to obtain my obsessions
Been smoking in sessions
Hoping I can catch a blessing
Confess when I pray at night
My way of life wasn't stressing
My guys
They dying trying
People killing and arresting them
My decks in a war
We lost a few
My heart was tore
Tears hit the floor
This year don't wanna lose no more
Oh lord
What's worse between this ghetto and jail
Caught in the middle of hell
I need a digital scale
We in here praying these 8ths
Turn to cakes
Is this shit a mistake
Is my change just a waste
You hear me?

I've been running these streets
Most of my life
I keep running
I've been trying my best
To change my life
I keep trying
Hhhhhh
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling me

I drive reckless on gangs
Burn a lane in flames
Approach killers with metal
Put some heat on his brain
Nothing changed but my bank account
Clothes and game
Still the same
Who to blame
When they finger my name
I'm gang affiliatant
Heroin distribiant
See the bitch ass judge
Wouldn't run em concurrent
Man they took me off the block
Trade the glock for a mob
Locked me down 23 and 1
Feeding me slop
Turn key cops
Evading my spot
A fucking ID where I rub my knot
I think not
Buss heat on police and flee
Ah
I be a beast in these streets til they capture me
Double savv in 3
Whether Lord of G
You bout paper in this bitch
You down with me
LeClaire courts baby
West chi raised me
Holy City made me crazy
Vice Lord showed me nothing could fade me
Aaaaa

I've been running these streets
Most of my life
I keep running
I've been trying my best
To change my life
I keep trying
Hhhhhh
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling
Calling out to me
The streets keep calling me

Be strong my king
Your presence is irreplaceable
Your imprint in this world is needed
The burden you carry is because you are godly
Hope will be hard to see
But there is strength in even your stride
This is for your legacy
You are at war for your peace
Stay focused
Stay authentic
You are capable of creating prosperity
Our royalty is not a myth
You were chosen
You were chosen
You were chosen
