Lyrics

Cause we live for the streets, yeah, yeah
Ooooh Yeah,
This one's for my ghetto
This one's for my people
Its hard out here
And we all struggling, Listen.

Verse 1:
Today is a new day and I'm back in the streets
Tryna make a living, tryna make a new way to eat
Getting money, that's what its about
People running round town with their pockets cut out
Aint it true bills aint paid, child cryin
Everytime you wake up and look
Somebody dying, I aint lying, it happen's everyday
whether you locked upstate or around the way
It's ashame how life goes by right in front of your face
Without telling a lie, we gotta live, raise our kids
Not to stop but rise to the top, rise to the top
Been a long time coming, listen when Im trying to tell You something. Life is too short for the pain and sorrow
Cause we can be hear today and gone tomorrow (oh yeah)

Hook:
We live for the streets
(I live for, I live for, yeah)
It's the only way for me
(It's the only way for me, cause you know I gotta eat)
We might die in these streets
(I might die for, die for, yeah)
cause its no escape for me
Cause we Live for the streets, Yeah Yeah

Verse 2:
It's a thin line between life and death
But its up to you and me to make that first step
Its not worth the drama and stress
And we as Black people shouldn't settle for less
(We need more besides drugs and liquor stores)
Bout time a boy is 12, he got a crime report
It's the truth if you know what I mean.
A girl got a baby bout time she 16.
And we all got dreams that never come true
Go to church, still the devil in you
Either we win or lose in this world full of games
Pray for pleasure and all we get is the pain
Its not fair, life aint no crystal stair
The road seem long
But we can make it there.
We gotta wake up before giving up
Stay within our means instead of living above.

Hook:
1x

I'm gonna live it, I'm gonna live it
Keep on living, keep on living living
I'm gonna live it, I'm gonna live it
its the only way for me and
Keep on living, keep on living living
I'm gonna live it, I'm gonna live it
Keep on living, keep on living living cause its no escape for me and


Cause we live for the streets, yeah, yeah
