[Intro: Sherwood Marty]
I know I make the streets go crazy
I done shown so much love, why they hate me?
I know I make the streets go crazy
I done shown so much love, why they hate me?

[Chorus: Sherwood Marty]
I've been through so much pain, it can't fade away
We was walkin' through the rain, prayin' for better days
So many people they done changed, ain't think I'd make it
But I always been the same, I just had patience
So much stress, hope my hair don't turn gray
Ain't my best but I'm still underrated
Soul crying, feel like I'm dying, but I'm still living
It's rough in my city, survival of the fittest

[Verse 1: OMB Peezy]
Peezy, ooh, people keep callin' for help
But when I need help I called on myself
Watching my bitch with a stick in my belt
Won't give you shit, I'll give you myself
Can't accept me, I won't give you nothin' else
Tim took ninety-nine years, I can't understand the pain that he felt
Know you felt the pain when I left
They killin' n***as just to get some rep
Stranded in the rain but I kept it
Real n***as changed and went left
Man it's time to change my shoes
I done walked some miles in these
Peezy P done paid his dues
So they can't talk down on me
If I done changed so much then why you come around me?
Gotta move cool through that water, n***as wanna drown me
If I done changed so much then why you come around me?
Gotta move cool through that water, n***as wanna drown me
[Chorus: Sherwood Marty]
I've been through so much pain, it can't fade away
We was walkin' through the rain, prayin' for better days
So many people they done changed, ain't think I'd make it
But I always been the same, I just had patience
So much stress, hope my hair don't turn gray
Ain't my best but I'm still underrated
Soul crying, feel like I'm dying, but I'm still living
It's rough in my city, survival of the fittest

[Verse 2: Sherwood Marty]
It broke my heart, I had to watch my Tika Tina die
Tears still in my eyes, I seen my mama cry
I hit my knees and prayed to god, sometimes I wonder why
He had to close her eyes, glad I got to tell her bye
The struggle really real where we come from
They got youngins on them pills goin' dumb dumb
They got n***as gettin' killed for a lump sum
Don't give a fuck 'bout how you feel or how you come
Deja had an abortion, family don't support me
Don't love me, I don't force it, n***a can't extort me
They heard I got a check, they tried to get a portion
I step on n***as' neck, the streets still endorse me (in the streets)

[Chorus: Sherwood Marty]
I've been through so much pain, it can't fade away
We was walkin' through the rain, prayin' for better days
So many peoples they done changed, ain't think I'd make it
But I always been the same, I just had patience
So much stress, hope my hair don't turn gray
Ain't my best but I'm still underrated
Soul crying, feel like I'm dying, but I'm still living
It's rough in my city, survival of the fittest
[Outro: Sherwood Marty]
I know I make the streets go crazy
I done shown so much love, why they hate me?
I know I make the streets go crazy
I done shown so much love, why they hate me?
Better days, better days
