TheStreetIsWhatMadeMe 2

Life in the ghetto is hard you know very hard
And for people like us you know growing up in the ghetto was really
You know coming out was almost holy grail
You know wah am saying
But you know the only thing that gave me confidence
Was the fact that I could sing
And that was my only way of escape
Am representing for ghetto children worldwide
YouknowwahAmsaying
Ghetto children worldwide where you at huh
Stand Up huh

I was raised by two brothers Poverty and Pain
These brothers, put me through hell they fucking drove me insane
Words can't explain most of the things this brothers did to me
How I survived was a mystery
Fuck it! I was dead broke financially I had Stroke
For several years I wore the same Clothe
Suffering for me became normal like a madman walking naked
Their foolish plan was to see me drop dead
Cos countless times I went hungry for days
Sometimes seven days in a row
I wasn't fasting I just had nothing to eat
The only thing I had to drink
Was a muddy water coming from a well close by not even seven feet deep
Street life was very rough but it made me very tough
"Ahem ahem hem" sorry I had to cough
Life in the Street helped me become the man that I am
The Street inspired every word in this Jam
Common!

The Street is What
Made Me gave me every Skill I ever had
Raised Me embraced me when this nigga never had
Showed me What is good and bad made me happy when am sad
Became my new home When I Stopped - living with Mom and Dad
The Street, it taught me how to be Wise
It Taught me how to keep my eyes on the price
It Made me realise that, my blood brothers are not just my brothers
From the same mother or blood brothers from the same father
But brothers who stand and fight
Who support Me never minding if I am wrong or right shit!
It doesn't matter if they black or White
What Matters is the true love that ignite
Cos I know Some black brothers who would snitch and kill a black brother
And some White brothers who would snitch and kill a white brother
The street has lost a lotta real niggas
But the same street has made a lotta real niggas shit!
Respect to true soldiers who died trying to survive on the street
Soldiers rest in Peace shit!
Street life is so strict
You got to thank the Lord when you survive
