k**ah Priest - Street Opera (Original) lyrics

[Intro: Hell Razah] Struggles.. in the ghetto, going through hell to come out right This is what we must go through to reach heaven That's what we go through This what we go through to reach heaven to escape hell [Hook: Hell Razah] In the Days of Our Lives we got One Life to Live As the World Turns around negative through positive At the edge of the nights, The Guiding Light That leads to Another World For the Young and the Restless beware of your d**hwish To All My Children in the General Hospital The most impossible We got for you the final saga of the Street Operas [k**ah Priest] In my location is where they run the operation You either stuck or getting bucked by the train station Word is bond if beyond after dawn, they hit you up bad And watch drop and they gone, they 9mm's Make b**hes scream high-pitch like a tweater But shorty is a strong believer when he hold his heater I use an ounce of my mind to make rhymes And a half of my brain to cause rain Cuz life is like a game with no instructions Streets they be tusslin' to have a brother bustin' They adolescence carry weapons in they section, a wrong direction When they all pack protection, forgotten knowledge, is all symbolic And heathenistic, they need statistics, for cops to search They pop you first and dig your pockets later And maybe catch you for money and your pager (gimme that) Or slice your throat with the razor An old man told me once, sitting on a chair rolling a blunt "I had a son your age, that ended up on front page From the impact of a 12 Gauge, his a**a**ination Drove me in a world of hatred, today it's hard to face it" He showed me old flicks, he was up for a scholarship But it ended by a hollow tip Damn I never thought life could be so short I still see him on the basketball court Fought in my life, I shedded great tears Tryin' to escape here, but for me it might take years Walk towards these fears and I'm still here He rolled back in his wheelchair And said, "The streets is vicious And all the witches play you for your riches They blow you kisses and show you stitches" So then he pulled back his pictures [Hook - replace "beware of your d**hwish" with "expect the unexpected"] [Hook 2X] [Outro: Hell Razah] The final saga of the street operas, of the street operas The final saga of the street operas Bible sh**..
