In the Streets
[Verse 1]
Only Tekashi we acknowledge is Murakami
My writing an art form, it's often confused with kanji
I feel it all around me, my powers is like I'm fused with Kami
And pack more punches than every show on the new Toonami, like two tsunamis
Never been the type to flex a pistol in my seat
I just got a way with words like a dictionary thief
A lot of rappers talking bars, but scared of mentioning me
So get your head up out the clouds or it'll end up in the streets
Industry taking fees, rappers signing 360s
Full circle, guess we getting played by every degree
College or UMG, but before they bury me
I'm moving money silently like it's cryptocurrency
In the streets
In the streets

[Hook]
DC to Shibuya, every city got they shooters
I'm shooting to where the moon is, they shooting, so keep it moving
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they do ya
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they
DC to Shibuya, every city got they shooters
I'm shooting to where the moon is, they shooting, so keep it moving
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they do ya
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they do ya
[Verse 2]
I fell in love with Yoshimura, tower records in Shibuya
Felt the waves in my medulla, open my eyes like the Buddha
The spirit of Yoko Ono still step inside the dojo
My opponents move in slo-mo, uppercut em to the ozone
Like I'm Kakorat, I got the blackest thoughts
Always keep my dagger hot, King Arthur in his Camelot
From the very block where we used to launch rocks
At the army, crooked cops, trigger happy with the Glocks
In the streets, you get popped now, I'm barely floating, my rhymes is fairly potent
They asked me what I'm hoping, I said "I keep my options open"
Whether I'm home or over oceans, know I gotta stay in motion
The streets is hazardous, I had to take a chance or risk
See my dreams manifest, I'm tired of imagining
The only way I can progress, R.I.P. to Dilla
R.I.P to Nujabes, uh, yeah
R.I.P. to Dilla and R.I.P to Nujabes, yeah
Uh, yessir

[Hook]
DC to Shibuya, every city got they shooters
I'm shooting to where the moon is, they shooting, so keep it moving
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they do ya
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they
DC to Shibuya, every city got they shooters
I'm shooting to where the moon is, they shooting, so keep it moving
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they do ya
In the streets is where they do ya, in the streets is where they do ya
