Code Of The Streets - Gang Starr[00:00:00]
Written by:Robert L.Russell/Keith Elam/Chris E.Martin[00:00:01]
Take this for example young brothers want rep[00:00:19]
Cause in the life they're living you can't half step[00:00:22]
It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun[00:00:24]
And if you ain't down you'll get played out son[00:00:27]
So let's get a car you know a fly whip[00:00:29]
Get a dent puller screwdriver and be off quick[00:00:32]
With a d**e ride yeah and a rowdy crew[00:00:34]
We can bag us a Benz and an Audi too[00:00:37]
Even a jeep or a van goddamn we're getting ours yo[00:00:39]
Take a trip up the strip and be like stars so[00:00:42]
It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping[00:00:45]
They can't do jack that's why a young brother's hopin'[00:00:47]
To do anything anywhere anyplace[00:00:50]
Buckwild in another court case[00:00:52]
It's the code of the streets[00:00:54]
They might say we're a menace to society[00:00:59]
But at the same time I say why is it me[00:01:02]
Am I the target for destruction[00:01:04]
What about the system and total corruption[00:01:06]
I can't work at no fast food joint[00:01:10]
I got some talent so don't you get my point[00:01:12]
I'll organize some brothers and get some crazy loot[00:01:14]
Selling D R U G S and clocking dollars troop[00:01:17]
Cause the phat dough yo that suits me fine[00:01:20]
I gotta have it so I can leave behind[00:01:22]
The mad poverty never having always needing[00:01:24]
If a sucker steps up then I leave him bleeding[00:01:27]
I gotta get mine I can't take no shorts[00:01:30]
And while I'm selling here's a flash report[00:01:32]
Organized crime they get theirs on the down low[00:01:34]
Here's the ticket wanna bet on a horse show[00:01:37]
You gotta be a pro do what you know[00:01:39]
When you're dealing with the code of the streets[00:01:42]
Nine times out of ten I win with the skills I be wielding[00:01:58]
Got the tenth one kneeling let me express my feelings[00:02:02]
Guru has never been one to play a big shot[00:02:04]
It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot[00:02:07]
And f**k turning my back to the street scene[00:02:09]
It gives me energy so I'mma keep fiends[00:02:11]
Coming just to get what I'm selling[00:02:14]
Maybe criminal or felon dropping gems on your melon[00:02:16]
So keep abreast to the GangStarr conquest[00:02:19]
Underground ruffnecks pounds of respect[00:02:21]
I've never been afraid to let loose my speech[00:02:24]
My brothers know I kick the code of the streets[00:02:26]
