River wind is icy
Chills run through my bones
Tides of life are ebbing out
Between the cobblestones
The streets are on fire
With the burning sunrise
And over the water I look in vain
For love on someone's eyes
city streets
The stories that they tell -
city streets
They can be heaven
they can be hell.
Winter colored morning
Gray and dirty brown
Reflecting the mood I'm in
Despair is all around.
I long for sweet oblivion
To make me from my pain
Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith
So I can break this chain.
city streets
The stories that they tell -
city streets
They can be heaven
they can be hell
Lovers with their arms entwined
Silhouettes against the light.
A warm bed is waiting as they head home
After staying up all night.
For them the city is magic
That's all they 've ever know.
I wish I could find the magic
But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone.
city streets
The stories that they tell -
city streets
They can be heaven
they can be hell.
city streets
The stories they have known
city streets
city streets

King of the Ghetto Entertainment, Rap-A-Lot
Dean's List know I'm saying, that's what I ride to
When I'm rolling, through these mo'fucking city streets
Corner to corner, block to block
Witnessing nothing but bullshit, first hand
Niggaz killing niggaz, know I'm saying
Everybody killing niggaz, you know I'm saying
But we the main mo'fuckers, killing us
Tripping out here, for these god damn streets
To look good in these streets, to have thangs
In these motherfucking streets, man fuck these streets
[Z-Ro:]
Damn these city streets, are deadly to a brother
Cause they're full of crooked cops, and killers and undercovers
Everyday is the same thang, another fatal shooting
Somebody daddy done died, so they mama prostituting
Just to make ends meet, and get the bills paid
Wonder why we bleed the corner dry, until the laws raid
Trying to make a dollar, out of nickel and a dime
KFC and McDonalds don't wanna hire me, because my teeth shine
In constant danger, keep one in the chamber
Cause I could become a victim, of some starving stranger
Thinking he can go through my pockets, and come up with some bread
When he found out I'm broke, he still gon leave a nigga for dead
So I hustle to breathe freely, and see another day
For the sake of my unborn babies, I keep a K
Trying to make sure the McVey name, repeat and repeat
Before somebody knock me off my feet, damn these city streets
[Hook x2:]
Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
Eighty percent of my partnas are dead, the rest in prison
All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
I never forget to mention, god damn these city streets
[Z-Ro:]
Damn, these city streets'll eat you alive
It's beginning to be a full time job, just to survive
Tell me why I get pulled over, when I'm standing still
Why my homies wanna rob me, for my big face bills
It ain't no love in our lifestyle, it's all about greed
Can't trust nobody, cause everybody got a trick up they sleeve
I believe in struggling, cause that's all I've ever seen
Besides the county jail, and the light of an infrared beam
I use to keep a pistol, by my side
But it don't matter if I'm strapped, I'm still gonna die
Whether I'm evil or good, in the suburbs or the hood death is coming
Better be like Forest Gump, and just keep on running
Cause he'll be coming, like a thief in the night
Might be in the form of a jacker, trying to get you at the light
Houston Texas is restless, better keep your heat under your seat
'Fore somebody have your brains up under your feet, damn these city streets
[Hook x2]
[Z-Ro:]
I'm 27, but I'm feeling 71
I pray so much, I feel like I'm kin to the heavenly son
I dodge bullets on the daily, if I don't duck I'm stuck
Then I'll be another murder case, in back of that black truck
Damn these city streets, are full of yellow tape
I wish I could move around, but I feel I can't escape
Tell me where to go, tell me where to run to get away from drama
Seem like everywhere I go, they wanna put me with my mama
Does equality follow me, ain't nothing shaking
Justice and liberty for niggaz, is a house that's vacant
Therefor I'm stranded, where crimes are committed to bread
Forced to watch my people fall off track, like a bad wig
I dropped a lot of records, but I'm still broke
Can't afford to stay in the Four Seasons, but there's still hope
Lucifer is powerful, he ain't got no mercy on the weak
He got us suffering for nothing, motherfuck these city streets
Living in the city, living in the city [x2]
Damn these city streets, are hard to live in
Eighty percent of my partnas are dead, the rest in prison
All I see is the struggle, my tears drown my vision
I never forget to mention, god damn these city streets [x2]

Yeah
Spice muthafuckin one
Coolin in cali
Kickin that gangsta shit
You get with it?
[ verse 1 ]
Hopped in my blazer, mashed off and left a boy in his car, then
Tagged him with the skull and bones, cause he be soften
Hollow like a head without no brains inside
And his girl was so damn small, you had to strain your eyes
Got to the corner, hit a left, seen the hpd
That's when I knew that they were after s-p-i-c-e
Turned up my music and dashed, goin 90, I mashed
Bullet holes all in my window from a 12-gauge blast
He was all on my ass, I had to think real fast
Hooked a left, all of a sudden heard a boom and a crash
Tried to catch the cold, sold the devil his soul
Had his car and his face wrapped around a pole
With my vogues still smokin hit 580 to oakland
Still upset with the police because my window was broken
But my beat was still bumpin and my amp was still pumpin
And my nine was in my lap if any funk was jumpin
Got the 20th and nice as I kicked my tune
Hooked a left on 23rd and seen my homeboy june
Jumped straight out like an arrow, had more gold than the pharaoh
Had my nikey sweat suit on and it was read like a sparrow
I told him what had happened and he already knew
He said, "you got a little funky with a fake-ass crew
The bass went boom and your gun went bang
And all you could see was flames"
At that very moment coke and ray started laughin
And slapped each other's hands and said, "it's all about blastin"
In the city streets
City streets
[ verse 2 ]
Kickin it at the park shootin craps with some homies
My first roll was a 7, so niggas can't get on me
So since my point is 4, I left a little joe
I'm kissin on the dice and I'm pimpin em like my hoe
So then I roll again, I'm fuckin with big ben
Now I ain't fade jack because I'm knockin with that ten
I picked up the dice, shook em up and rolled once mo'
What came out the do'? whaddaya know, I hit that 4
Fuckin with the dank I'm hearin marvin gaye's oldies
Fadin another 20, took a sip of my 40
There go my homie g-nut with the gin and the juice
My nigga's always fuckin with that 187 proof
I took a big-ass gulp and feelin quite tipsy
Knowin I'm like this these niggas try to cheat me
Huh, they can't get with me, I put em in his place
Then g-nut threw the gin and busted a nigga in his face
I thought it was quite funny, and I began to smirk
The fat-ass niggas face was grounded lyin in the dirt
So I picked up my mail, and I'm about to go
Cause I'm about that mo' money, mo' money, mo'
Now homie on his face, he rolled over just like that
And said, "this is a jack, gimme all my fuckin money back"
I act like I was scared, gave his money back fast
And when he tried to leave, I busted a cap up in his ass
These niggas out the kitchen if you can't take the heat
Cause muthafuckas gank ya, shank ya, sank ya in the city streets
The city streets
[ verse 3 ]
A few weeks back I robbed a nigga for a ki
Kickin it on the block, slingin d to o-p-e
Yo, runnin from the five-o, you think this shit is funny
By any means necessary I must make my money
If niggas try to fade me, I pull out my nine
And pop-pop-pop-pop a nigga from behind
In this world of madness muthafuckas die
Niggas sling and bang, and bitches always lie
So I choose to be murderous and chop up niggas' bodies
And set like an example, a villain like john gotti
The muthafuckin gangsta s-p-i-c-e
They ring my mobile phone, now who the fuck could that be?
Bitch, I said don't call me, I'm busy clockin g's
I thought it was the fuzz, but some niggas told me 'freeze!'
The barrel was my back, it's a muthafuckin jack
I knew I shoulda packed, I ain't goin out like that
These niggas caught me slippin, and fuck a yellow sack
Niggas must be trippin cause they daytons touch my back
I hopped out of my shit and told him go ahead
And when he tried to leave I busted a cap up in his head
With blood all over his face is how the homie fled
I dragged him out the car and filled his corpse full of lead
These niggas out the kitchen if you can't take the heat
Cause bitch, I'm a gangsta, shank ya, sank ya in the city streets
Aight, banks

Been walking 'round these city streets
Like I?m walking round my living room
Pavements wet like lino sheets
Autumn light goes dark too soon
Things have changed since the beginning of time
From the beginning of the week
This place has grown and shrunk in a year
Buildings fall and friends disappear
Things will always move
We?re still here moving dust
Talking about friends with wander lust
You say, this city is dead for you
But it will stand long after you
Things have changed since the beginning of time
From the beginning of the week
This place has grown and shrunk in a year
Buildings fall and friends disappear
Things will always move
I never could lie, maybe when I was younger
Maybe last week
You left and asked, ?Is it all the same??
All I could say was
?Starlings roost as dusk sets in?
Things have changed since the beginning of time
From the beginning of the week
This place has grown and shrunk in a year
Buildings fall and friends disappear
Things will always move
Been walking 'round these city streets
Like I?m walking 'round these city streets
Walking 'round these city streets

I've been feeling this too long
When you leave it all goes wrong
The only thing I know is it isn't right
Busy streets have lost their rush
Buildings towered turned to dust
Like everything just disappeared in the night
It's when I walk these city streets I realize the time that just went by
(don't you know)
Like an old friend I hardly know now that I've been away for all this time
I was hoping this would pass
But once it's here, it's here to last
I wish it could just all remain the same
I'm a stranger when I'm home
'Cause all alone is all I know
That's what happens when you go astray
It's when I walk these city streets I realize the time that just went by
(that just went by)
Like an old friend I hardly know now that I've been away for all this time
I know I've made my bed
Sad thoughts are in my head
Barely holding back the tears
But when I watch the living dead
Wake up and break their bread
I know it's not for me
It's when I walk these city streets I realize the time that just went by
(don't you know)
Like an old friend I hardly know now that I've been away for all this time
Oohhh oohhh oooohhh
Ooooohhh oooohhh oooohhh
You're on your own/ you have to hold/ onto what you/ feel's rightly yours
Don't let anyone tell you it ain't worth the time

Whisper:
(I cant be fuckin wit dem,

Normal voice: (Chorus)

City streets

I've been around and I've seen the worlds collide
From the east coast to California
I'm tryin' to live this dream and the streets won't take my name
And I'll take life by the throat, fuck you!
You might think that we've got it made
And the crowd is huge and they're calling our name
But for now I'm alone in this city tonight
All alone, these city streets are cold

City Streets
Words and Music by Maureen Brill
I passed a crowd of people walking through the city streets.
I was hoping I would see you I was hoping for the chance we'd meet.
I was looking for your smiling face
I was missing all the love you gave me
I was walking alone, walking through the City Streets.
On the subway or a restaurant or on a crowded avenue
I'll often see a stranger who looks and walks a lot like you.
Looking for you night and day I keep searching but I never find you
As I'm walking alone, walking through the City Streets.
I remember how you laughed as we were walking
I was holding on to you as we were talking.
Your memory is all I have to hold me now.
I wonder to myself, do you miss me somehow?
The day I ever find you I know exactly what to say.
I'll tell you how I miss you and beg you please
Come back to stay.
Until I look into your eyes
I'll keep searching till the day I find you
I'll be walking alone, walking through the City Streets.

You saw me standing out in the street
I was looking for some action, someone to meet
There was holes in my pockets
And a hole in my soul
And a whole lot of questions
About which way to go
Lookin' for love
Lookin' for drugs
Lookin' for a pretty
Lookin' for love
Lookin' for life
Livin' in the city
Like a joke without a punch line
Like a rat in a maze
Like last year's paper yellow with age
I was a deck without a dealer
I was a day without a dawn
I was a train without a station
Until you came along
Lookin' for love
Lookin' for fun
Isn't it a pity
Lookin' for love
Lookin' for life
Livin' in the city
You found me broken in the bad part of town
Could'nt look up to heaven
Till I was all the way down
Your love reached for me
Felt the scar on your hand
Saw your cross on the skyline
Now I understand
Born for love, born for life
You were born in the city
You died for love, died for life
You were died for the city
You're returning for love
You're returnig for life

People are coming out on the city streets
Windows are rolling down can you feel the heat
And if you are ready to go I'm ready to drive
Cuz' there's not use stopping now when the feeling's

Masses forming in limited space
Pigs -n- trash meeting face to face
Little gurls on their corners meet
To sell very cheap on the city streets
Wild animals watchin'
File down their teeth as they wait
for the night
Danger is near, don't you trust me!!
The warlords are here
So get ready to fight
[Chorus:]
Nowhere to run; nowhere to hide
why do you stay
People live -n- die on city streets
Cities full of love -n- hate
Danger lurks high and low
Drunks in the alley just masturbate
While blood in the streets still flow
Wild scavengers watching
Just waiting to get to your face
Like dogs starving for flesh
Destroying all of the human race
[Chorus]
