Street Smart - Da Youngsta's[00:00:00]
Gotta[00:00:02]
Got it[00:00:05]
Gotta[00:00:07]
I been strugglin and strugglin for oh so long[00:00:09]
So I can be successful in life and stay strong[00:00:12]
I was raised to respect my elders[00:00:15]
And if I didn't I would wind up as a failure[00:00:17]
So we're sippin some brew[00:00:20]
On the corner with my so-called crew[00:00:22]
My pop told me the streets wasn't games and fun[00:00:24]
He says be wise and listen up son[00:00:27]
I would never tell you nothin' that wasn't true[00:00:29]
Only right from wrong and things you shouldn't do[00:00:31]
In the ghetto you gotta watch over the shoulder[00:00:34]
And just remember that I was the one that told ya[00:00:37]
Me and your mother will be in through thick and thin[00:00:39]
'Cause when it comes to it we're like your best friends[00:00:41]
I took his advice and it did me some good[00:00:44]
Now I'm not a product of the hood[00:00:47]
When I walk the ave now I keep my head high[00:00:49]
As soon when I'm older I'll have a piece of the pie[00:00:51]
See where I'm from you had to have heart[00:00:54]
I guess that's why I'm street smart[00:00:57]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:00:59]
Much be know[00:01:01]
Ain't is this got it[00:01:03]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:01:04]
Much be know[00:01:06]
Ain't is this got it[00:01:07]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:01:08]
Much be know[00:01:11]
Ain't is this got it[00:01:12]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:01:13]
Nine months of labour I make my arrival[00:01:18]
I'm just a Youngsta playin' the game of survival[00:01:20]
My mom told me patience is a virtue[00:01:23]
Sticks stones break bones but never never hurt you[00:01:26]
Negativity I don't indulge in[00:01:28]
But that don't mean that my pockets ain't buldgin[00:01:30]
Especially in this day and time[00:01:34]
I rather get props hops from just sayin' rhymes[00:01:35]
'Cause the streets mislead ya[00:01:38]
If you was starvin tell me who would ever feed ya[00:01:40]
Chillin' with your boys smokin' jays[00:01:43]
Sittin back talkin' about the old days[00:01:45]
Fiends sellin' radio clocks[00:01:48]
Lookin' on the ground for rocks[00:01:50]
Youngsta's in school and cats[00:01:53]
Flippin' packs like flapjacks[00:01:55]
Rollin' rollin' dice like a casino[00:01:57]
Look at that Nino Brown or Al Pacino[00:02:00]
You can't beat this with a head start[00:02:02]
You know why because I'm street smart[00:02:04]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:02:07]
Much be know[00:02:10]
Ain't is street got it[00:02:11]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:02:12]
Much be know[00:02:14]
Ain't is street got it[00:02:16]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:02:17]
Much be know[00:02:19]
Ain't is street got it[00:02:21]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:02:22]
Ain't is street street street[00:02:24]
Growin' up in the ghetto is worse than skid row[00:02:26]
So I decided to let the kids know[00:02:29]
How it really is even though I'm in showbiz[00:02:31]
One thing that I know is[00:02:35]
The streets will leave you with a dumb look[00:02:37]
An old lady cryin' 'cause a bum took her pocket book[00:02:39]
Five-o stay right at the corner[00:02:41]
Stand there too long and you're a goner[00:02:43]
Thinkin' back when my pockets was empty[00:02:46]
I couldn't let negativity tempt me[00:02:49]
I was down to get mines[00:02:51]
I was lost and now it's time to catch up like Heinz[00:02:53]
I used to stay out late be a street dweller[00:02:56]
Not a drug seller but a smooth young fella[00:02:58]
I just about seen it all[00:03:01]
Streets is no joke that's right how many y'all[00:03:03]
Brothers been fightin' for no reason[00:03:06]
So all the girls I ain't the one to be skeezin'[00:03:08]
That's right baby you can't play me sweetheart[00:03:11]
Because I'm street smart[00:03:14]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:03:15]
Much be know[00:03:18]
Ain't is street got it[00:03:19]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:03:20]
Ain't is[00:03:23]
Ain't is[00:03:23]
Ain't is street got it[00:03:24]
This is isn't carry much be know[00:03:25]
Much be know[00:03:28]

This is isn't carry much be know[00:03:30]
