Child Of The Streets - Keith Murray[00:00:01]
Written by:Keith Murray/Erick Sermon/Sam Dees/David Camon[00:00:02]
Yo the fruit don't fall far from the tree[00:00:05]
Yeah uh[00:00:10]
My grandfather use to tell me[00:00:14]
This place ain't got nothing to offer you[00:00:16]
Don't you see all the changes everybody going through[00:00:17]
This family got problems and they do too[00:00:20]
But everybody wanna tell you what they think you should do[00:00:23]
He said watch them so called friends and them girls too[00:00:26]
Sonny do you like they did Jesus crucify you[00:00:28]
As he sat there in his chair looking out the window[00:00:31]
I'm thinking when you can't get away where you go[00:00:33]
Inside your mind man child never had a chance to be young[00:00:36]
Either you selling drugs or out there on the binge strung for some[00:00:39]
There's only two places to go the morgue or the pen[00:00:42]
For some school is an option entertainment to alternate them[00:00:45]
Then they'll try to exploit you discriminate you[00:00:48]
Use you as a tool make money and live in luxury off you[00:00:50]
And we so confused we wanna believe in something[00:00:53]
So they promise us the world but give us nothing[00:00:56]
I say we can be all in this together[00:00:59]
Yeah will you end up like your family tree[00:01:03]
Tell me what you gonna do what you gonna do[00:01:10]
What you gonna do[00:01:15]
Your mind ain't too far from the sky[00:01:17]
The death of a loved one remind you of yourself don't it[00:01:20]
Knowing you could be next at any given moment[00:01:24]
Like twine I used to call him a brother of mine[00:01:26]
His pops was a drunk and his mother was blind[00:01:29]
He use to stay at my hose sometimes my mom's didn't mind[00:01:32]
We was just nickel and dime hustlers wasting time[00:01:34]
Living in the streets targeted and forced to kill[00:01:37]
Dualistically we learned how to lie and steal[00:01:40]
Gangsters of the future modern day's thugs[00:01:43]
Seem like me whole hood is covered in blood[00:01:46]
Traveling a ruff life in the eye of the storm[00:01:48]
Now I wear their life stories tattooed on my arm[00:01:51]
Psych's grandmother passed away on April fool's day[00:01:54]
Then her funeral was on her birthday sh*t is real[00:01:57]
My man had four baby moms and two on the way[00:02:00]
And trying to make a living for them passes away in vein[00:02:02]
God bless him ask skeet[00:02:05]
Child of the streets well well well well[00:02:06]
Will you end up like your family tree[00:02:10]
Tell me what you gonna do[00:02:16]
What you gonna do[00:02:18]
What you gonna do[00:02:19]
Understand the habits[00:02:22]
Behind the child of the streets[00:02:25]
They try to f**k my fame up tear my name up[00:02:27]
Turn around and sue me f**k my little bit of change up[00:02:30]
I knew it was going to be some sh*t to get me for some cream[00:02:33]
I saw it in my subconscious world like a vision[00:02:35]
At first it hurt me like a knife in the heart[00:02:38]
But by nature I continued to live out my part[00:02:41]
As art imitates life and life imitates art[00:02:44]
Don't respect the streets and they tear your a** apart[00:02:46]
It's important that my understanding understood[00:02:49]
But it's more important that it's understood in the hood[00:02:52]
And to all the females in the pen stay strong[00:02:54]
Any day in jail girl is a day too long[00:02:57]
And for those who had to do what they did to slide[00:03:00]
Now running like a fugitive to save the live you live[00:03:03]
Put in a box saw my step pops[00:03:06]
He said boy Keith what the blood clot how much time you got[00:03:08]
Child of the streets little sister[00:03:11]
Tell me where you will lay your head[00:03:16]
Child of the streets little brother[00:03:22]
Where will you make your bed[00:03:28]
Y'all tell me what y'all gonna do[00:03:32]
What y'all gonna do[00:03:36]
Tell me what y'all gonna do[00:03:41]
