[Verse 1]
I been on block for a while
You can't tell me "let it rock" when I'm down
I'm just tryna get a lil bread
Make sure everybody eat, make sure everybody fed
I-I'm just tryna get a lil spread, stood ten toes down from the legs
I can't go back where I came from
Only 18, I don't wanna die young

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I swear the streets no good for me
I swear them streets no good for me
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good for me
Swear the streets no good
I swеar the streets no good for me
Swear thе streets no good
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good for me

[Chorus]
I been tryna stay up out the hood
Life's goin good, palm trees, deadies out the wood
Man it feels good, it feels great, been a long way
I'm up now, Ion care, let them all hate
I been tryna focus on a bag
Know these n***as mad, oh well, get up on your ass
Runnin up the cash, pop a lot of tags
'Cause I worked for it
And you ain't taking my shine, you'd get hurt for it
[Verse 2]
I done came a long way back from the jugg
I'ma make bro proud up above
Runnin' round these streets they ain't showed me no love
Don't come around me now you ain't deal with no [?]
Got me fucked up
They been could've changed me while locked up
Walk around with two sticks like its nunchuks
And Dummy in the ground, he a dumb fuck
Tell 'em if they feel a way, let the gun bust

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I swear the streets no good for me
I swear them streets no good for me
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good for me
Swear the streets no good
I swear the streets no good for me
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good
Swear the streets no good for me

[Chorus]
I been tryna stay up out the hood
Life's goin good, palm trees, deadies out the wood
Man it feels good, it feels great, been a long way
I'm up now, Ion care, let them all hate
I been tryna focus on a bag
Know these n***as mad, oh well, get up on your ass
Runnin up the cash, pop a lot of tags
Cause I worked for it
And you ain't taking my shine, you'd get hurt for it
