[00:09.50]It's the first of the month and my beeper is blowing
[00:12.59]I can't stop cause my cash is flowing
[00:14.79]I'm baggin' em' up bustin' em' down quickly
[00:16.84]Cause I got five brothers waitin' on me at Thrifty's
[00:19.98]I'm in the other bucket on the late night pursuit
[00:22.52]With two kis and and forty ounce of brew
[00:25.03]I ain't trippin' cause my tags are legit
[00:27.50]Ah shit, now them tats is on my tip
[00:30.08]So I drops my brew, what the **** am I to do
[00:32.48](Pass the street to shake that fool)
[00:34.30]So I smashed on my pedal and rolled down Golden Gate
[00:37.26]And threw these ****ing kis in the lake
[00:39.09][Verse 2: Mugzi]
[00:39.48]Guess who comes through, it's a fool
[00:41.46]I gat tapped that ass, red dog, and boo
[00:44.45]We kicks it on the hill everyday
[00:46.26]Slangin' rocks with Glocks now we gots to get paid
[00:49.20]The street life's how I'm livin' and the po-po tryin' to get me
[00:51.75]But they can't catch up to a mother****ing philly
[00:54.16]That's how I'm livin' in the day
[00:55.86]But when it comes night I packs a forty and an AK
[00:59.25]Waitin' for some punk to jump so I can start to pop
[01:01.89]And put some mother****ing holes in his drop
[01:04.26]The watch his ass grasp, then I laugh
[01:06.84]He shouldn't have last so I taxed his punk ass
[01:26.23][Verse 3: Kaveo]
[01:28.40]A young brother in the game with my fame and glory
[01:31.14]I'm really down for my pops and the hardcore stories
[01:33.57]Mandatory is my money, ya best believe
[01:35.81]Because I'm rollin' through ya town with gold tone D's
[01:38.50]Lookin' clean with my mug on mean
[01:40.92]But in the ghetto it ain't nothin' but dope fiends
[01:43.42]I pull up on the turf not thinkin' of gettin' burnt
[01:45.94]With a nine in the trunk it ain't gon' be no funk
[01:48.57]Serious about my mail, don't give a **** about a jail cell
[01:50.97]Because I post bail and all hell breaks loose
[01:53.53]Cause I got juice, though it seems to me
[01:55.72]But in reality the other man is out to get me
[01:58.21][Verse 4: B-Legit]
[01:58.42]Forever on the run, that shit ain't funny
[02:01.05]And I ain't never heard of no extra money
[02:03.08]The ninety-eight cents, no food for less
[02:05.92]I send a dope fiend to steal my guess
[02:08.18]The ghettos of a way where the players star
[02:10.78]Where white men won't, where white kids won't
[02:13.35]They say it ain't cool and it's bad for they health
[02:15.77]And if ya hit magazine then break ya self
[02:18.33]Cause that's the rules man and don't ask why
[02:20.74]Either you slang, gangbang, or die
[02:23.31]My only concern is to strive
[02:25.63]****ed up around in the street life
[02:45.47][Verse 5: E-40]
[02:47.65]The reason I ain't do eighteen yet, check
[02:49.87]Is because I got people praying for me, bet
[02:52.42]I pays my ties even though the money's filthy
[02:55.12]Don't wanna go to church because I feel guilty
[02:57.32]The way of the street life is really quite scary
[02:59.94]Thinkin' tomorrow man I might get buried
[03:02.51]So when I leave my pad I grab mt Glock
[03:05.31]And my bulletproof vest and my ski mask dock
[03:07.56]On the gooch pal, I won't be caught out of bounds
[03:10.16]Can't let these fools stop my life
[03:12.49]So I strive, I might be about one eight
[03:15.51]But in the mind I more like twenty eight
[03:17.42]I see the po-po poppin' the brothers droppin'
[03:20.19]Niggas plottin' and children starvin'
[03:22.70]All this shit in my face
[03:25.04]I gotta get up out of this place
[03:27.22]The middle of V ain't enough see
[03:29.85]A nigga feel like I gotta sell D
[03:32.32]I share a room with six little brothers
[03:35.02]Three to a bed fightin' over covers
[03:37.44]The crack of dawn, I read the paper
[03:39.90]A Jewish old lady said a nigga raped her
[03:42.26]The finger always points at the black man
[03:44.54]But not the whites, Filipinos, or Mexicans
[03:47.52]Street life, because there's no place I can go
[03:52.43]Street life, it's the only life I know
[03:57.46]Street life, there's a thousand lives a day
[04:02.45]Street life, until you play your life away
