Uncle Told Me

When you out here in these streets you better watch thy step
Don't you lose your life tryna gain stripes like ref
You wasn't with me when I started so you might get left and
You can try to steal my shine but I got anti-theft
When u out here in these streets u better watch thy step
Don't you lose your life tryna gain stripes like ref
You wasn't with me when I started so you might get left and
You can try to steal my shine but I got anti-theft

You wasn't with me when I started person and
You ain't understand my plan until it started working
I should have listened to my heart before it started hurting
You know I really hope I spark before they close the curtain
Now my tounge on fire and I found a purpose
You know I rose up out that water then I walked the surface
I tried follow all my peers but it wasn't worth it
I swung my sword and chopped the head off the evil serpent
Cause when you out here in these streets you tend to lose focus
These perpetrators still your shine and you'll never notice and
When you try being humble niggas push your buttons
But they be mad cause they ass don't be doing nothing
Matter fact they want to hurt you cause they still struggling and
Being broke really make em wanna kill something and
When you talk about that money that's a real subject
But when you getting more than them they act real suspect
I overheard that love was blind and the pain is pleasure
I heard that one man's trash is another's treasure
I'm out the way and right now I'm on a different schedule
I'm on the grind to take my music to another level

When you out here in these streets you better watch thy step
Don't you lose your life tryna gain stripes like ref
You wasn't with me when I started so you might get left and
You can try to steal my shine but I got anti-theft
When u out here in these streets u better watch thy step
Don't you lose your life tryna gain stripes like ref
You wasn't with me when I started so you might get left and
You can try to steal my shine but I got anti-theft

I wrap bomb like a it's a grenade
Then I get all up in the mix like kitchen bouquet
In the streets it ain't sweet like its a brulee
You better wake your ass up like its a new day
Once apon a time granny tried to take him to church
But she ain't understand the preacher was just making it worse
He started off stealing candy now he taking the purse
He started picking up the dice
But now he shaking them first
Cause when you out here in these streets you gotta watch thy step
The same place them niggas find you is where you might get left
Cause if the opps catch you lacking you get shot like Steph and
You'll be gone till November but this not Wyclef
Now your body on the block you couldn't settle a truce and
They ain't even wear no socks cause they was reppin' the boot
Niggas say they bust grapes but never carry the juice
They go to war but come home and have to bury they troops
Just be careful cause them niggas might be right in your face
With a hundred round drum just to brighten your day
Itchy finger on the trigger cause the nigga was nervous
Now his family members at another funeral service

When you out here in these streets you better watch thy step
Don't you lose your life tryna gain stripes like ref
You wasn't with me when I started so you might get left and
You can try to steal my shine but I got anti-theft
When u out here in these streets u better watch thy step
Don't you lose your life tryna gain stripes like ref
You wasn't with me when I started so you might get left and
You can try to steal my shine but I got anti-theft
