[00:07.61]Lyrics by：L. Coleman/R. Hall
[00:15.23]Composed by：L. Coleman/R. Hall
[00:22.85]Yeah it's the big L
[00:24.87]Comin' at you once again in nine-five
[00:27.62]And I dedicate this one
[00:29.22]To all my peoples from uptown and everywhere
[00:32.64]Check it
[00:33.68]Yo where I'm from it ain't cookies and cream
[00:35.96]There's a lot of peer pressure growin up as a young teen
[00:39.16]You never know when you gonna get wet
[00:41.46]'Cause mad clowns be catchin
[00:42.81]Wreck with a tec just to get a rep
[00:44.77]Instead of cool friends they'd
[00:46.04]Rather hang with male thugs
[00:47.36]Instead of goin to school they'd rather sell ***
[00:49.99]It's best to go the right route and not the wrong one
[00:53.08]Be'cause it's gonna catch up witchu in the long run
[00:55.69]Brothers be all up on us actin stupid gettin lifted
[00:58.41]They life is twisted and most
[00:59.96]Of them are quite gifted
[01:01.25]In other words they got talent
[01:02.59]But they'd rather sell cracks
[01:04.40]And bust gats and run the streets actin violent
[01:06.76]To them it's all about hittin
[01:08.18]Skinz and makin some easy green
[01:09.79]'Cause that's all they show you on the tv screen
[01:12.53]All they care about is a buck or bustin a sweet nut
[01:15.34]They don't give a what 'cause they street struck
[01:17.84]You betta listen when l rhyme 'cause bein street struck'll
[01:20.75]Get you nuttin but a bullet or jail time
[01:23.10]So pay attention when l rhyme 'cause bein street struck'll
[01:26.16]Get you nuttin but a bullet or jail time
[01:28.88]Before the rap contract I was sellin crack
[01:31.22]Stay strapped with a mac I was into alla that
[01:34.34]I started rappin and got nice as hell
[01:36.54]If it wasn't for this I might be doin life in jail
[01:39.44]And some of my peeps are still in the game sellin 'caine
[01:42.33]If that's what you gotta do to maintain
[01:44.27]Go 'head and do your thang
[01:45.63]But with the cash profit make an investment
[01:47.81]And try not to go to the grave
[01:49.67]Like the rest went
[01:50.60]'Cause you can be rich with crazy
[01:52.19]Loot own a house and nine cars
[01:53.73]What good is that if you're dead
[01:55.27]Or behind bars
[01:56.33]And yo it's not even funny
[01:57.87]I've seen a lot of my peers give
[01:59.96]Up they careers for some fast money
[02:01.81]They could've been boxers
[02:03.00]Ballplayers or rap singers
[02:05.07]Instead they bank robbers and crack slingers
[02:07.23]Aiyyo they used to be legit
[02:08.98]Kids now they corrupt
[02:10.10]They had dreams but gave 'em up
[02:11.99]'Cause they street struck

[02:36.91]The streets but most of the time
[02:38.47]I'm in the crib writin rhymes
[02:39.88]To some d**e beats
[02:40.72]Or either callin up some freaks to bone
[02:43.10]But word up I try to leave the streets alone
[02:45.67]But it's crazy hard kid in other words it's spooky
[02:48.55]The streets be callin me like the crack be callin pookie
[02:51.57]It ain't a dumb joke listen to this young folk
[02:54.12]'Cause where I'm from you can choke from the gunsmoke
[02:56.94]Stay off the corners that might be your best plan
[02:59.58]Before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man
[03:02.87]Or end up with a deep cut
[03:04.95]Or relaxin on a hospital bed from bein street struck
