Beat The Streets lyrics

[Intro]
(J-J-J-J-J.R.) Ayy

[Chorus]
I'm a street n*gga that got motivated (To do what?) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (What they tell you?)
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this sh*t dangerous (What can happen?)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n*gga (That's the chances that you takin')

[Verse 1]
Or get locked up and you might not make it back
I swear I know some n*ggas locked up that ain't never comin' back out here (They got life)
I tell 'em close they eyes and picturе theyself anywherе (Picture yourself anywhere)
But when they open they eyes up, they still right there
That's a different pain, I swear that type sh*t make me nervous (Why?)
I could've been right there tellin' myself it wasn't worth it (Damn)
They ain't support him while he was livin', but they showed up to his service
He had no one to call, but now look how packed out that church is (R.I.P.)

[Pre-Chorus]
They told us be real n*ggas (They told us be real n*ggas)
n*ggas that told us that wasn't even real, n*gga (They wasn't even real, n*gga)
You don't get sh*t for bein' real, n*gga (You don't get sh*t for bein' real)
But we still sacrifice, so we deal with it like some real n*ggas, for real, n*gga (But we still sacrifice, so we, ayy)

[Chorus]
I'm a street n*gga that got motivated (Got motivated) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (They'll take you)
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this sh*t dangerous (This sh*t dangerous)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n*gga (Chances that you takin', n*gga)
[Verse 2]
Or get popped up, you might not be able to walk no more
A lot of n*ggas got popped up and them boys ain't never gon' talk no more (Never)
A lot of n*ggas ain't gon' breathe no more (Never)
A lot of n*ggas ain't gon' speak no more (Never)
It's too late to make a smart decision, they can't think no more (It's too late)
n*gga, we ain't never been no b*tches (Never)
But we had to start takin' life serious (Had to)
Lot of n*ggas died over they're Insta' (At all)
All these n*ggas did was post they pictures (At all)
n*ggas ain't tryna sit in no prison (Thank God)
Ask for pictures, tryna get visits (He gone)
Thankin' God for whatever he give me (He gone)
All this sh*t can be gone in an instant (I ain't do sh*t)

[Pre-Chorus]
They told us be real n*ggas (They told us be real n*ggas)
n*ggas that told us that wasn't even real, n*gga (They wasn't even real, n*gga)
You don't get sh*t for bein' real, n*gga (You don't get sh*t for bein' real)
But we still sacrifice, so we deal with it like some real n*ggas, for real, n*gga (But we still deal with it like some real n*ggas)

[Chorus]
I'm a street n*gga that got motivated (I got motivated) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (You know these streets'll take you)
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this sh*t dangerous (Don't tell you this sh*t dangerous)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n*gga (That's the chances, n*gga)
I'm a street n*gga that got motivated (Got motivated) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this sh*t dangerous (They won't tell you that)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n*gga (They won't tell you that)
