[De La Soul - The Corner lyrics]
Yeah, the 15 millionth time, 15 and 1
Check it out
Yo Com, how you rhyme to this slow shit
Yeah yeah, check it out
Yo memories of the corner
We huddled and stayed in trouble
Guzzled on 40 O-Z's and played
The double and back
We doublin crack, no wonder why they fear us
We cussin cause our mommas couldn't hear us
Young lovers'll cuddle at 15 shit
They seen the struggle so
That makes him a man con-sidered
He got plans but
She don't understand that this is
Where them fools bust at
Same corner where she go and
Catch the school bus at
It ain't changed a bit
We stand circle and spit bars
Cigarette butts scattered like
Glass shattered and pops he play the corner
'til his day comes, dAMN'!
Ambulances on the corner but
Hey now it's offi-cial
Cisco was the daze them cups of E&J
Went down and hit a warm spot
Even in the winter's cold
We had our snorkel and our winter playboys on
These are the corners we was
Sent to play boys on
Our socks is pockets, the guns is rockets
It's where the after school fight was at
Brand new bikes was at
Fila suit's, Kangols and new Nikes was at
Same corner is today's same yesterday
I wish that I cold give you this feelin
I wish that I cold give you this feelin
We was livin on them corners
Had a nigga rhymin, drinkin
Whylin, potted out, livin HIGH'!
We live it real, hard, revoke your zeal
God don't come around here no mo'
So why you screamin HIS NAME in
Vain when the pain hit's
Pick yourself up and get to a hospital quick
But leave out the bit, about what went down
I know they hound us for hawkin
Just a flesh wound, stitch it up
Keep it walkin niggas on the corners loyal
They ain't talkin (they ain't talkin)
Put down the sea of chalk and
The use of chalk is for lines of hopscotch
Or tracin dead bodies for
Crimes that got botched
For just crime commitin and it's
Time to fit it
In the schedule, cause them crosstown niggas
Came to our corner sprayin that lead you pull
Ain't nuttin deeper than pilin in the car
With the streetsweeper so we
Can clear every star off the corner
Check it out
Yo Com, how you rhyme to this slow shit
Yeah yeah, check it out
Yo memories of the corner
We huddled and stayed in trouble
Guzzled on 40 O-Z's and played
The double and back
We doublin crack, no wonder why they fear us
We cussin cause our mommas couldn't hear us
Young lovers'll cuddle at 15 shit
They seen the struggle so
That makes him a man con-sidered
He got plans but
She don't understand that this is
Where them fools bust at
Same corner where she go and
Catch the school bus at
It ain't changed a bit
We stand circle and spit bars
Cigarette butts scattered like
Glass shattered and pops he play the corner
'til his day comes, dAMN'!
Ambulances on the corner but
Hey now it's offi-cial
