It's amazing how your life can change 
It's plan and simple as it can bring things 
Take prespective before it comes your way 
I'm am so thankful to God for this day 
Cause for a long time the streets were my home 
Slanging hard banging hard got me known 
But the reason to live Ive been shown 
I gotta be around to see my baby boy grow 

[Chorus:]
Street life no more I'm throwing in the towel 
Street life no more I gotta son now 
Street life no more I gotta make it out 
Street life no more (oh yeah yeah) 
Street life no more I'm throwing in the towel 
Street life no more I gotta show little man 
What my life is really about 

One more dealing and I'm outta this thing 
need the paper so that I can maintain 
I'ma fine a job hopefully something that pays 
It's hard to walk away from this figure I made 
Gab the money this don't look right no more 
That nigga right there I think I seen him before 
Good thing he didn't make a sell or buy 
He gave me four years I'll be out by the he's five 

[chorus]

Baby don't cry I'll be home soon 
I let a gang of money in the safe for you 
Come write I'll make it right through 
I just got his picture of his first day in preschool 
He's gonna be smart just like his mom 
I commend you black queen for holding on 
How many days I think I'ma cry 
When I get out nomore street life Oh yeah 

[chorus: until fade]
