[Intro]
(J-J-J-J-J.R.) Ayy

[Chorus]
I'm a street n***a that got motivated (To do what?) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (What they tell you?)
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this shit dangerous (What can happen?)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n***a (That's the chances that you takin')

[Verse 1]
Or get locked up and you might not make it back
I swear I know some n***as locked up that ain't never comin' back out here (They got life)
I tell 'em close they eyes and picturе theyself anywherе (Picture yourself anywhere)
But when they open they eyes up, they still right there
That's a different pain, I swear that type shit make me nervous (Why?)
I could've been right there tellin' myself it wasn't worth it (Damn)
They ain't support him while he was livin', but they showed up to his service
He had no one to call, but now look how packed out that church is (R.I.P.)

[Pre-Chorus]
They told us be real n***as (They told us be real n***as)
N***as that told us that wasn't even real, n***a (They wasn't even real, n***a)
You don't get shit for bein' real, n***a (You don't get shit for bein' real)
But we still sacrifice, so we deal with it like some real n***as, for real, n***a (But we still sacrifice, so we, ayy)

[Chorus]
I'm a street n***a that got motivated (Got motivated) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (They'll take you)
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this shit dangerous (This shit dangerous)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n***a (Chances that you takin', n***a)
[Verse 2]
Or get popped up, you might not be able to walk no more
A lot of n***as got popped up and them boys ain't never gon' talk no more (Never)
A lot of n***as ain't gon' breathe no more (Never)
A lot of n***as ain't gon' speak no more (Never)
It's too late to make a smart decision, they can't think no more (It's too late)
N***a, we ain't never been no bitches (Never)
But we had to start takin' life serious (Had to)
Lot of n***as died over they're Insta' (At all)
All these n***as did was post they pictures (At all)
N***as ain't tryna sit in no prison (Thank God)
Ask for pictures, tryna get visits (He gone)
Thankin' God for whatever he give me (He gone)
All this shit can be gone in an instant (I ain't do shit)

[Pre-Chorus]
They told us be real n***as (They told us be real n***as)
N***as that told us that wasn't even real, n***a (They wasn't even real, n***a)
You don't get shit for bein' real, n***a (You don't get shit for bein' real)
But we still sacrifice, so we deal with it like some real n***as, for real, n***a (But we still deal with it like some real n***as)

[Chorus]
I'm a street n***a that got motivated (I got motivated) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you (You know these streets'll take you)
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this shit dangerous (Don't tell you this shit dangerous)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n***a (That's the chances, n***a)
I'm a street n***a that got motivated (Got motivated) to make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's excitin', they don't tell you this shit dangerous (They won't tell you that)
Get shot, you might not make it, that's the chances that you takin', n***a (They won't tell you that)
