[Intro: Cali Javo]
(AyeTM, turn that shit up!)
Yeah… uh-huh
I ain't never quit, even when I lost everything
Let’s get it
[Verse 1: Cali Javo]
Woke up to sirens, mama cryin’, it was normal
Straps in the closet, we was raised on the formal
Church on Sunday, but the block was my sermon (Amen)
Wasn’t scared of death, only feared bein' a burden
Walked through hell with a limp and a .30 tucked
Ain’t no safety on this side, bitch, we barely trust
Seen my dawg get caught, still ain’t speak, that’s guts
You fold under pressure, I rise when it’s rough (Bitch, facts!)
Tried to trap with no hеart, got his dumb ass lined
Left his brains in the whip, now hе stuck in rewind
They gon' talk loyalty ‘til they see a dollar sign
You ain’t a soldier, n***a, you a bitch in disguise (For real)
Had to stash the burner in the baby stroller (Boom)
I ain’t fold when the charges came, I stood bolder
You ever seen blood mix with tears on a boulder?
I did—now I dream with my eyes open (Wide!)
[Chorus: Cali Javo]
Keep pushin', I ain’t fold even when they left me starvin’ (Nah)
Keep pushin', ran from nothin', had to hustle through the darkness (Push)
Keep pushin', I seen angels turn to demons in apartments
Keep pushin', they want me broke or dead, but I’m a target (Still here!)
You the type to fake a drill for a clip and a view (Lame)
I'm the type to do the dirt and just vanish from the news (Ghost)
You the type to wear your homie chain and never slide (Never)
I'm the type to pop a door and catch that n***a by surprise (Boom!)
[Verse 2: Cali Javo]
I ain't never told a soul what I really been through
Lost bro, then lost myself—ain’t been stable since June (Damn)
Caught a case, beat it solo, with a state-ass lawyer
Still came out swingin’ like a southpaw warrior (Swing!)
N***as pillow talkin’ to these hoes, soundin' weak
Meanwhile I was runnin' in the cold with no heat
Threw a mask on, not for COVID, for the streets
If it’s up, then it’s stuck, bitch, I slide with no tweets (No cappin’!)
Ridin' with a trunk full of pain and some tools
Learned how to rob ‘fore I learned high school rules
Fuck a diploma, I got stripes and some battle wounds
My heart numb, even love feel like bad news (Cold blooded)
Now they wanna dap me ‘cause they see the gold teeth
Where was y’all when I was trappin' with no sleep?
Now I’m on stage, but it started on that back street
One deep, no cosign, just me and the cracked seats (Yeah)
[Chorus: Cali Javo]
Keep pushin', I ain’t fold even when they left me starvin’
Keep pushin', ran from nothin', had to hustle through the darkness
Keep pushin', I seen angels turn to demons in apartments
Keep pushin', they want me broke or dead, but I’m a target
You the type to claim a body you ain’t even near (Clown)
I’m the type to hit the switch and disappear (Vanish)
You the type to tell your opps when you outside
I’m the type to slide and pray I get out alive (Drill!)
[Outro: Cali Javo]
Uh…
Keep pushin'
They want me gone, but I'm still here, ten toes in the fire
This The Streets—and I ain't never back down
Cali Javo out…
