[Intro]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
Look

[Chorus]
Ain't no love in the streets
Ain't no love in the pavement
If I got jammed, on the soul I wouldn't say shit
Got n***as up the road doin' harsh vacation
That's why I take a risk, so I can get up out the basement

[Verse]
Young n***a howl at the moon
Kick shit like I'm in the womb
Used to break down the pack in my room
And I know better days comin' soon

But I was aimin' for a whole lot
Maybe I was way too ambitious
Fuck the bowl, I want the whole pot

Don't ask me how, just watch
[Chorus]
Ain't no love in the streets
Ain't no love in the pavement
If I got jammed, on the soul I wouldn't say shit
Got n***as up the road doin' harsh vacation
That's why I take a risk, so I can get up out the basement

[Outro]
Out the basement
Take a risk, so I can get up out the basement
Tryna' get up out the basement
Gotta take a risk, so I can get up out the—
