D-MAC - Street Runner lyrics
rate me<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Street Runner, I'm gonna make you feel...
I'm gonna make you feel, Street Runner <i>[Repeat]</i>
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, throw where you from up... up...
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, Let's go
<i>[Verse 1:]</i>
So you wanna be a street runner, but are you ready for this life
Where niggas do whatever whenever to get a stripe
Where chilling is forbidden in th emiddle of the night
Cause while the world sleeping you creeping and trine get a slice
Of the cake, cause ay, niggas eating out here
And this the streets so you know niggas beefing out here
Better watch who you meet niggas'll sneak ya out here
It's goin down like the sun every evening out here
So it's rules to the streets and it's all written in codes
And it's followed by those who understands how it goes
School of hardknocks not only did I enroll
I graduated with honors and I never sold my soul
Yo this shit harder than it looks
So if you got a chance keep ya hands on them books
Stay out on that field, and stay out on that court
Cause ain't no coming back when you walk up off that porch you're a
<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Street Runner, I'm gonna make you feel...
I'm gonna make you feel, Street Runner <i>[Repeat]</i>
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, throw where you from up... up...
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, Let's go
<i>[Verse 2:]</i>
Cut all that giggling out lil nigga ain't a fuckin thang funny
Cept a nigga chasing bitches and ain't here getting money
Better get up off ya ass and create yourself a income
I guarantee it'll be plenty hoes for ya & then some
Take heed to my wisdom, and invest in a pistol
Cause that's goon come in handy when you come across some issues
Make sure them niggas with you keep it ten toes down
Cause you never know what's going on when you not around
Speak when spoken to, don't be out here like a clown
Being friendly with these niggas and running ya fuckin mouth
Some ones you trine vibe with, out here getting high with
Will be the same ones to set you up on some sly shit
Stay private of location of ya residence
And gossiping's for women focus on them dead presidents
Licks for them chips, capers for that paper
Or copping that product to re up again later you're a...
<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Street Runner, I'm gonna make you feel...
I'm gonna make you feel, Street Runner <i>[Repeat]</i>
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, throw where you from up... up...
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, Let's go
<i>[Verse 3:]</i>
Yea, let me take you through a street runners mind
Help you see things through a street runners eyes
Just speaking on behalf of the streets through a rhyme
You do the crime be a man own up and do your time
All that snitching on niggas is for snakes without spines
Between that and a rat, is the worst of mankind
It's a fact, niggas act just rehearsing damn lines
But ain't no movies goin on
It's just shootings goin on
Ain't no jobs so we take the jewelry you be putting on
We call it getting it how we live you people call it doing wrong
Niggas thinking niggas soft? a lot of proving going on
Get put to sleep, then it's a wake, lotto funerals going on
This is nothing but the life, that I grow and grew up on
When environments are hostile I do feel right at home
You can tell how I spit it I meant it I'm really in it
Think it isn't come and visit my nigga I really live it I'm a
<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Street Runner, I'm gonna make you feel...
I'm gonna make you feel, Street Runner <i>[Repeat]</i>
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, throw where you from up... up...
My hood niggas throw your guns up, my street niggas throw your guns up, Let's go
