The Streets (街道) - Jay-Z (杰斯)/R. Kelly (劳·凯利)[00:00:00]

Dear god how can I explain myself[00:00:02]

Oh god bless me indeed[00:00:08]

When I'm so confused[00:00:09]

Enlarge my territory[00:00:10]

Place your love and protection over me at all times[00:00:13]

Help me[00:00:15]

Keep me away from evil[00:00:16]

Somebody answer me[00:00:17]

Allow me not to cause pain[00:00:18]

Police in the background screaming put the thing down[00:00:20]

That's how hard I was trying to put my thing down[00:00:23]

Si-rens ringing out old ladies screaming out[00:00:25]

All this attention for me and I'm barely sixteen now[00:00:27]

It's feeling like a dream now[00:00:31]

Handcuffed roughed up I'm tossed in the bing now[00:00:32]

I'm lying next to fiends now that's the end of the story[00:00:34]

Let me bring y'all niggaz back to the very first scene now[00:00:37]

December 4th a child is born[00:00:40]

Before I knew it had my pops trousers on[00:00:42]

That's how we do it when the man of the house is gone[00:00:44]

You either stand or fall I chose to stand[00:00:47]

The hawk outside so I blow my hand[00:00:49]

It's a cold cold world but I overstand[00:00:52]

Trying to stay focused but I feel hopeless damn[00:00:54]

Can't cope with being broke I'm a man come on[00:00:57]

Son don't let these streets get the best of you[00:00:59]

I will be right by your side when you going through[00:01:04]

Son just don't let it just don't let it[00:01:09]

Just don't let it just don't let it[00:01:11]

Just don't let it just don't let it[00:01:14]

Get the best of you[00:01:17]

Late one night I was rolling the streets[00:01:19]

Just thinking about what's going on with me and[00:01:21]

Trapped in this thug life trying to break free but[00:01:24]

This thug life just keeps calling me[00:01:27]

I'm living life way too dangerously[00:01:29]

I'm drowning in my misery[00:01:32]

Looked in the mirror there's my enemy[00:01:34]

Cause poppa never was a part of me[00:01:36]

Take one step at a time mama said[00:01:39]

Sweet memories still remain in my head[00:01:42]

All of my life been lied to misled[00:01:44]

Voices be like don't you wish you was dead[00:01:46]

No ground to place my feet[00:01:49]

I feel the fire under me[00:01:51]

A way out is all I need[00:01:54]

Somebody answer me[00:01:56]

Son don't let these streets get the best of you[00:01:59]

I will be right by your side when you going through[00:02:03]

Son just don't let it[00:02:08]

Just don't let it[00:02:10]

Just don't let it[00:02:11]

Just don't let it[00:02:12]

Just don't let it[00:02:13]

Just don't let it[00:02:15]

Get the best of you[00:02:17]

Now the only thing left is more spirit to roam free[00:02:18]

Cause ain't no going home for me[00:02:22]

It's a cold cold world but I blew my hand[00:02:23]

I drew first cause I knew that man[00:02:26]

I knew what he would do if I didn't draw first[00:02:28]

And I couldn't stand the thought[00:02:30]

Of my momma stepping foot inside a church[00:02:32]

All I try to do is try to get up out the dirt[00:02:33]

Guess he's trying to do the same told me get up out his turf[00:02:36]

I wanted to talk to him but that sh*t never work[00:02:38]

We was cut from the same cloth and what was under his shirt was his[00:02:41]

Mommas rent his young brother's clothes[00:02:44]

My nephew's food and with that I sqooze[00:02:46]

And with that I froze[00:02:49]

Now my life is frozen in time behind these iron poles[00:02:50]

And this story is told for young soldiers[00:02:53]

Who never choose the life we chose[00:02:56]

Son don't let these streets get the best of you[00:02:58]

I will be right by your side when you going through[00:03:02]

Son just don't let it[00:03:07]

Just don't let it[00:03:09]

Just don't let it[00:03:10]

Just don't let it[00:03:11]

Just don't let it[00:03:13]

Just don't let it[00:03:14]

Get the best of you[00:03:16]

Tears in my eyes as I look up I'm trying to[00:03:18]

Hold back my pride but reality is screaming[00:03:20]

Gotta get a job cause momma also screaming[00:03:23]

Streets are just like drugs and it's like I'm out here fiending[00:03:25]

Forget all the hits in the industry cause[00:03:28]

Ain't no exceptions in this game for me look[00:03:30]

Neither god or my enemies I[00:03:33]

Choose god cause he understands this[00:03:35]

Young man with a thuggish heart[00:03:38]

Whole world in his hands but still torn apart[00:03:40]

Like I'm so close but it's still so far[00:03:43]

Nightmares of me in a swerving car ohh[00:03:45]

No ground to place my feet[00:03:48]

My feet[00:03:50]

I feel the fire under me[00:03:50]

Hey[00:03:52]

A way out is all I need[00:03:53]

I need[00:03:55]

Somebody answer me[00:03:55]

Son don't let these streets get the best of you[00:03:57]

I will be right by your side when you going through[00:04:02]

When you going through[00:04:06]

Son just don't let it[00:04:07]

Just don't let it[00:04:08]

Just don't let it[00:04:10]

Just don't let it[00:04:11]

Just don't let it[00:04:12]

Just don't let it[00:04:13]

Get the best of you[00:04:15]
