[Wyclef Jean, Rahman “Rocky” Griffin, John Forté - Street Jeopardy lyrics]
More blood more gun talk, more people dying
More hardcore
Enough, come on, I'm not feeling it, man
More, more, man (I got you)
Alright, come with it
The million dollar question is
The million dollar question is
S-s-street corner
This is what he said
"Have you ever heard the sound of a 44
At your door?" (This is what I said)
"You got guns
(You got guns) , I got guns (Uh, huh)
Meet me at the corner store"
(This is what he said)
(What does it all mean?)
After school, wild wild west
Even the teacher got a vest
(This is what I said)
You can ask, on the block
Fool, I ain't the one to test
(What does it all mean?) street Jeopardy
(Here we go yo, here we go yo, here we go yo)
Have you ever played Jeopardy?
(Here we go yo, here we go yo, here we go yo
Here we go yo)
Not me, it could never happen to me
Professor says "What you wanna do? Sell
Drugs or get a degree?"
Looked at him and smiled with 32 gold teeth
And said, "What you make in a year
I make it in a week" elementary at the time
I don't think of gettin' caught
Sellin' with degrees, pickups at the seaport
Once caught, you know the drill
It's military i can't lie, it gets scary
You screamin' for your mommy (Come on)
Truth or dare, beware, the game is never fair
I'm fallin' and I can't get up
Like a dead hare
You stare like you seen me before
Yup, you put the gat to my gut
Stuck me up in the truck
And said, "Don't nothin' move but the goods"
Caught an arrow in your back
Fuckin' wit Robin Hood
This street life'll get you if
The hustle don't fit you
Paranoid crews don't choose, nigga stick you
Arms and foldin' macks to ya
Back tryna vick you belief in my crew
Wishin' foes never get through
And if so, Shalom, bless my soul, I'm home
I lived my life to the fullest
Neighborhoods now known
A stone face is outta
Place when discussin' BI
If I have a second thought
You ought not reply
I fought hot and sticky summers
When the game started heatin'
Competition, mega jail, and the well
Who was eatin' (Oh well)
And every cell in the Bing had a tenant
With each of them regrettin' they was in it
Have you ever heard the sound of a 44
At your door? You got guns, I got guns
Meet me at the corner store
(What does it all mean?)
After school, wild wild west
Even the teacher got a vest
You can ask, on the block, fool
I ain't the one to test
(What does it all mean?) street Jeopardy
(Here we go yo, here we go yo, here we go yo
It's a shame in the game when you lose, son
They probably stoned ya today)
Have you ever played Jeopardy?
(Here we go yo, here we go yo, here we go yo
Here we go yo, money doubles for your
Troubles though you lose some
In the end it's all pain)
Yeah, yeah
I got up, sunny day, hood callin' my name
Strange, I feel nauseous
Memories of a pine coffin
Seemed to me that I was dreamin'
I'd been struck by a crazed
Fan after the concert, damn
Slugs form and I hurt, hopped up
Checked my physical
But the pain was all mental, I slipped into
The shower, hopped out, got dressed
Hit the blocks swarmed with cops, mad shots
Hot shells dropped
You ever heard the sound of
A 44 at your door? Before, many times
I answered back with a milli'
Now what? Now give me mine
It ain't no games like BDP
My 9-meter go da da da da dang hey hey
Have you ever heard the sound of a 44
At your door? You got guns, I got guns
Meet me at the corner store
(What does it all mean?)
After school, wild wild west
Even the teacher got a vest
You can ask, on the block
Fool, I ain't the one to test
(What does it all mean?) street Jeopardy
(Here we go yo, here we go yo, here we go yo
It's a shame in the game when you lose, son
They probably stoned ya today)
Have you ever played Jeopardy?
(Here we go yo, here we go yo, here we go yo
Here we go yo, money doubles for your
Troubles though you lose some
In the end it's all pain)
