Hard Streets - T-Bone[00:00:00]

Written by：Louis "Buster" Brown III/Warryn Campbell/Rene Sotomayor[00:00:00]

See I was only 16 such a tender age[00:00:27]

A young seed leaving my home in search of ghetto fame[00:00:30]

Mom's begging me to stay[00:00:32]

Crying but yo I gotta make it on my own now[00:00:34]

I'm tired of hustling plus I'm almost full grown now[00:00:36]

Packed up my gears and pursuit of my dreams[00:00:38]

Gave her a kiss then wiped the tears[00:00:41]

From eyes so that she couldn't see[00:00:42]

Jumped in the car starring up at the stars[00:00:44]

Rhyming for hours thinking one day[00:00:46]

I'm a hear the applause[00:00:47]

Now I'm 17 still broke loc[00:00:48]

No money[00:00:51]

Holes in my shoes[00:00:51]

And people laughing 'cuz my clothes crummy[00:00:52]

No food to eat so now I'm digging in the trash can[00:00:54]

Eating left over food from last week in tha bags man[00:00:56]

I never thought that it could get this hard pray to God[00:00:59]

Then I get to stepping 'cuz I know that I'm called[00:01:02]

I told myself I gotta keep the faith living inside[00:01:04]

Knowing I'll make it one day[00:01:06]

So I can't just lay down and die I gotta try yo[00:01:07]

What streets doing to me[00:01:10]

Ghetto running through me[00:01:12]

Thicker than blood down in the mud[00:01:15]

Trying to come up[00:01:18]

These hard streets do it to me[00:01:19]

Ghetto running through me[00:01:22]

Thicker than blood down in tha mud[00:01:25]

Trying to come up another day[00:01:28]

It's 1991 getting older now[00:01:29]

Kicked out my crib nowhere to live[00:01:31]

Wit problems[00:01:33]

And the world on my shoulders now[00:01:33]

If I go home[00:01:35]

Mom will think I'm a loser[00:01:36]

And if I call the homie[00:01:37]

Then he'll think I'm trying to use 'em[00:01:38]

So now I'm stuck sleeping[00:01:39]

On my managers sofa[00:01:41]

Even though I know he's ripping me off[00:01:42]

Trying to play me like a game of poker[00:01:43]

Congested wit depression[00:01:45]

I proceed to try and count my blessing[00:01:46]

Daily like[00:01:48]

The fact I'm still alive[00:01:49]

I could have died on these mean streets[00:01:50]

'Cuz they ain't kind[00:01:52]

So many killers[00:01:53]

And dealers committing horrible crimes[00:01:53]

D**e fiends driveby's[00:01:55]

Muggers and drug smugglers[00:01:56]

No one expecting me to make it 'cuz I'm from the gutter[00:01:58]

A young g from the streets of killa cal[00:02:00]

Where riders pack heat and smoke w**d as a juvenile[00:02:03]

It's all good though I'm out to prove 'em all wrong[00:02:05]

Reach for the stars[00:02:08]

And show 'em one day I'm a be the bomb[00:02:09]

These hard streets do it to me[00:02:10]

Ghetto running through me[00:02:13]

Thicker than blood[00:02:16]

Down in tha mud[00:02:18]

Trying to come up[00:02:19]

These hard streets do it to me[00:02:20]

Ghetto running through me[00:02:23]

Thicker than blood down in tha mud[00:02:26]

Trying to come[00:02:29]

I'm sick of all the heartaches[00:02:29]

Let downs[00:02:31]

Broken promises and feeling hopeless[00:02:32]

I'm tired of being rejected and all the disappointments[00:02:33]

Feeling like I ain't worth a dime[00:02:36]

People telling me I'm the greatest[00:02:38]

But there's no deal to sign[00:02:39]

Crying devastated and confused at the same time[00:02:41]

My mind is telling me to quit and God's saying try[00:02:44]

My heart is telling me it's over and I'll never rhyme[00:02:47]

But something's telling me prevail and it will be fine[00:02:49]

Too much crime yo[00:02:51]

So much drama yo[00:02:52]

From tha block or ya babies mama[00:02:56]

Be running that game[00:02:58]

Come on[00:03:00]

Run me over yo[00:03:01]

Like my corner yo[00:03:04]

In these streets gotta get your hustle on[00:03:06]

Just like a jigsaw puzzle on[00:03:09]

Come on[00:03:11]

What streets doing to me[00:03:12]

Ghetto running through me[00:03:14]

Thicker than blood[00:03:18]

Down in the mud[00:03:19]

Trying to come up[00:03:20]

These hard streets do it to me[00:03:21]

Ghetto running through me[00:03:24]

Thicker than blood down in tha mud[00:03:28]

Trying to come up another day[00:03:30]
