Tee Grizzley - Beat The Streets lyrics

J.R

I'm a street nigga that got motivated
(To what?) To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin'
Nigga
(That's the chances that you takin', nigga)

Or get locked up and you
Might not make it back
I swear I know some niggas locked
Up that ain't never comin' back
I hope
I tell 'em close they eyes
And picture theyself anywhere
But when they open they eyes up
They're still right there
That's a different pain
I swear that type shit make me nervous
(Why?)
I could've been right there telling
Myself it weren't worth it
(Damn)
They ain't support him while he was living
But they showed up to his service
He had no one to call but ow
Look how packed out that church is
(R.I.P)

They told us "Be real, nigga"
(Told us "Be real, nigga")
Niggas that told us that
Weren't even real niggas
(They weren't even real niggas)
You don't get shit for being real nigga
(You don't get shit for being real nigga)
It was the sacrifice, so we deal with
It like some real niggas, for real
Nigga
(It was the sacrifice
So we deal with it like some real niggas)

I'm a street nigga that got motivated
(To what?) To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin'
Nigga
(That's the chances that you takin', nigga)

Or get popped up
You might not be able to walk no more
Lot of niggas got popped up and them
Boys ain't never gon' talk no more
Lot of niggas ain't gon' breathe no more
Lot of niggas ain't gon' speak no more
It's too late to make a smart decision
They can't think no more
(It's too late)
Nigga, we ain't never been no bitches
(Never)
We had to start takin' life serious
(We had to)
Lot of niggas died over they Insta
All them niggas did was post they pictures
(At all)
Niggas ain't tryna sit in prison
(They ain't)
They just post pictures tryna get visit's
Thank God for whatever he give me
All this shit can be gone in an instant

They told us "Be real, nigga"
(Told us "Be real, nigga")
Niggas that told us that
Weren't even real niggas
(They weren't even real niggas)
You don't get shit for being real nigga
(You don't get shit for being real nigga)
It was the sacrifice, so we deal with
It like some real niggas, for real
Nigga
(It was the sacrifice
So we deal with it like some real niggas)

I'm a street nigga that got motivated
(To what?) To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin'
Nigga
(That's the chances that you takin', nigga)
I'm a street nigga that got motivated
(To what?) To make it out these streets
These streets don't love, they'll take you
They tell you it's exciting
They don't tell you this shit dangerous
Get shot, you might not make it
That's the chances that you takin'
Nigga
(That's the chances that you takin', nigga)

They won't tell you that
