Ear To The Streets

Look, Black on black, pockets fat, hoppin' out the 7 strapped
Walk up to the club, don't pat me down, they just pat my back (Uh)
All my niggas got chains on and we thick as fuck
Had a dress code, but rushed the door 'cause we don't give a fuck (Uh-huh)
Standing on the couches, popping bottles, smoking weed
When you see them hoes flocking, then that's how you know it's me
I got power in these streets, big balls, boxer briefs
A gang of dead P-R-E-Zs in these expensive-ass jeans
Yeah, and I'm a beast off in them sheets
So if I pull, then I'm gon' squeeze, as soon as I come, then I'm gon' leave
Soon as I'm done, then I'm gon' be back on my grind, back on these beats
'Cause I could never be a nigga that had it, lost it, and end up back in these streets
Nah-uh, so it's All Money In 'til I'm R.I.P.
And in my city, nigga, I am he and we are the O-N-Es
We bang hard like the drums on the beat
Nip Hussle, (Ayy, let's go), keep your ear to the street, nigga

Keep your ear to the street, where the real Gs dwell,
Where every day it's a battle of Heaven and Hell
Keep your ear to the street, hear the cries of the past
But we live for the future, making every moment last
Keep your ear to the street, where the real ones ride
In the city of the lost, but our spirits never die
Keep your ear to the streets
From the cradle to the grave
This that same dirt, where the legends are made

Seen it all, done it all, lost friends to the streets
But I keep my hope high, never fall to defeat
Ain't no peace for a soldier, so I keep my peace close
In a world full of vultures, keep your circle composed
We gon' rise, we gon' shine, like the sun through the fog
Keep pushing forward, going against the odds
Got dreams of a better day, but I'm rooted in the present
Stacking up my paper, every move is an investment
We keep pushin' through the pain, through the rain, through the lies
In the land of the lost, still I rise, I survive
They tried to break me, but I'm stronger than before
Every scar is a story, every wound is a war
Keep your head up, even when it's dark and cold
'Cause the fire in your heart is worth more than gold
So I stay true to the code, never fold, never snitch,
In a world full of clones, I'm the realest in this bitch.

Keep your ear to the street, where the real Gs dwell,
Where every day is a battle of Heaven and Hell
Keep your ear to the street, hear the cries of the past
But we live for the future, making every moment last
Keep your ear to the street, where the real ones ride
In the city of the lost, but our spirits never die
Keep your ear to the street, from the cradle to the grave
This that same dirt, where the legends are made

My mentality is Soulja, but my vision's so clear,
I see the envy in their eyes, but I ain't showing no fear
I'm out here making moves, staying two steps ahead
While they chasing temporary highs, I'm stacking long bread
I've seen the game switch up, but I stayed in my lane
While these fake ones flipped, I remained the same
I got dreams of owning blocks, not just pushing weight
Plans of a better future, not just chasing fate
Every loss is a lesson, every win's a testimony
In a world full of phonies, I stay holy with my homies
From the East to the West, we connect and ride
I lost my brother to the struggle,
Only the strong survive
But I walk with my head high, crown never slipping
'Cause in this marathon, it's all about completing the mission
I keep grinding hard, keep my focus on the prize
Keep my ear to the streets, I'm a Soulja till I die

Keep your ear to the street, where the real Gs dwell,
Where every day is a battle of Heaven and Hell
Keep your ear to the street, hear the cries of the past
But we live for the future, making every moment last
Keep your ear to the street, where the real ones ride
In the city of the lost, but our spirits never die
Keep your ear to the street, from the cradle to the grave
This that same dirt, where the legends are made
