[00:07.00]Streets, streets
[00:16.20]Livin' in the streets
[00:21.40]Street livin', caught in the trap
[00:23.80]Guns or books, sell crack or rap
[00:26.20]Be like kings or be like pawns
[00:28.30]They called us coons, now they call us cons
[00:31.10]Street niggas be packing pistols
[00:33.40]Terrorists be blasting missiles
[00:35.80]Crips and Bloods and retail thugs
[00:38.10]CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in
[00:40.60]Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell
[00:42.70]The teachers in my neighborhood can hardly spell
[00:45.00]And compare to them, prison guards get paid well
[00:47.40]Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale
[00:49.80]So, forget about the statue of General Lee
[00:52.10]Because the status of Blacks are generally
[00:54.60]Gonna end up in some penitentiary
[00:56.90]Systematically, that's how they made it to be
[00:59.40]Listen, they derailed the soul train
[01:02.10]And put a nightmare in every Martin Luther King
[01:04.40]And privatized prisons are owned by the same
[01:06.70]Slave masters that owned the slave trade game
[01:09.20]And racists no longer have to be racist
[01:11.50]'Cause niggas kill more niggas than the KKK did
[01:14.20]Now, every time I hear a new def jam
[01:16.30]Niggas killing niggas like they Ku Klux Klan
[01:19.00]I understand what's a nigga to choose?
[01:21.00]Be the killer or be the dead dude in the news
[01:23.80]I get it, what's a nigga to do?
[01:25.60]No education in the hood got a nigga confused
[01:28.70]Street livin', tough conditions
[01:31.00]Brainwashed by the television
[01:33.40]We lost in the war we live in
[01:35.80]Double cross, love lost, no religion
[01:38.20]Street livin', oh my gosh
[01:40.20]Another brother got shot by the searg'
[01:42.80]Another cop got off with no charge
[01:45.30]If you black in the hood, you at large
[01:47.80]You're guilty until you prove you're innocent
[01:50.10]If you're ivory, they treat you different
[01:52.30]If you're ebony, they assume your temperament
[01:54.80]Will be vigilant and they call you militant
[01:57.40]And you'll get shot and they'll say the incident
[01:59.50]Is 'cause you're belligerent, what a coincidence?
[02:02.20]Born and bred but you're still an immigrant
[02:04.40]And if you ain't dead, you can see imprisonment
[02:07.70]There's more niggas in the prisons than there ever was slaves cotton picking
[02:11.90]There's more niggas th...........
