This album is dedicated
to my grandfather, B -Boy Wally,
and my man Chip Banks, Bruce Mayfield.
Rest in peace.
This is the street sweeper,
this the street
s I want you to hear
Can't sleep, I'm trying to keep,
cause you're hanging in
every word we say
No jealousy,
but boy I'm in the hood
While we all just get along,
and stop doing your job
Yeah I had to bring in the best
for this one y 'all
Where the streets at?
Aaron Hall
Where the streets at?
Of course K Slayz
You didn't live my life,
so how can you judge me?
You don't know me,
but you got a grudge with me
I don't care what they say
I saw the jealousy coming way
before I became K Slayz
There's always someone you know,
who feels like you owe
Cause back in the days
we used to play bro
I don't respect no man
who relies on another man
When you got two legs
and two hands
You better get on the grind,
better stop wasting time
Stop worrying about mine
I owe that man above
From the Proms to Bulletsmiths
Shit, I knew what that was
Dam n, I love my mother
Coming up as a teen
Our bond was more like
sister and brother
Sorry for the times that
I put you to shame
When I was locked down,
only you and Roy came
Where was my father
when I needed him?
When I was fucking up
Damn, I could've used that beating
This ain't no war story rap
I got the hood on my back
And only a thug can un
derstand the way I act
My mom's trying to keep
me on the right track
Movin' me from Harlem to the Bronx,
back and forth, forth and back
So to my two twin brothers,
man I love y 'all
I want y 'all to have the best,
but this rap game's a mess
It ain't for y 'all, but y 'all grown now
So if y 'all ridin', I'm ridin',
fuck it, let's go now
This had nothin' to do with pride
But the day my grandfather died,
almost took my stride
First time in about ten years
that I cried
Here's where we'll die
So I made a vow that day
That I'd be number one
and move anybody out my way
So I'm here now,
had to shut down a few clowns
Whoever didn't understand me then,
but they understand me now
This is personal,
as the music flows through
the blood in my veins
God grant me the power
to change the game
So the true soldiers
can eat instead of these lames
You've been there for so long,
this is from my heart
This ain't no storm,
my grandmother's getting older
Whose friends and foes
still look over my shoulder
My chick can't understand,
so my heart's told her
I'm not an industry n***a,
I'm a n***a from the street
In the industry,
who lost n****s in the street
The other half is jailed, but
On 6 feet deep, but I was born to ride
So when I decide that it's time to ride
I'ma ride till it's my time to die
Now you ask yourself why?
Bring the drama, bring it, bring it
Kingslayer
Stop your jealousy, stop your,
stop your, stop your hat ing
I'm tired of this shit now
Can't, can't, can't explain
You did it again,
you did it again
You did it again
for the hood
You did it again, you did it again
You did it again for the streets
