Lavish - Streets Wont Let Me Chill lyrics

[Verse 1]: Dear. Mr Conscious Rapper I'd rather live my life recklessly and be free f** them pastors, n***as probably in the wrong as much as me I be twisting blunts drunk, pissy dipping them in lean And you can judge but I was forced into adapting to the streets You might think I'm just a dumb n***a gettin' drunk, high But me and my n***as do this cause ain't no one in our lives To give a damn You might portray yourself to be some kind of Einstein But truthfully you ain't sh** but a fool in my eyes Come around here talking that sh** About change, peace, politics, and global consciousness? f** that! I got a whole lot of sh** up on my plate and that sh** You rapping bout I honestly can't relate to I had one goal that was to make my mother proud Father died when I was three I'm with the 45s now Cause all that I've been through It darkened me like the sun so before you Try to fault me for the person I've become [Bridge]: Just cause the clouds cover the sun that doesnt mean it isnt shining Mothaf**a! Cause where n***as like me live its a whole nother f**ing world Mothaf**a! [Hook]: Its either you k**ed or get k**ed Main reason why the streets won't let me chill x2 [Verse 2]: Now more about me man I wasn't always a thug and I wasn't always a thief Of course, that was up until I turned 13 Them n***as around the block changed my outlook on the streets What you know about your mom working minimum wage; Loosing her jobs, landlords throw you out of yo place Boil the work in the kitchen the only way to get paid This stress is like a wale on a weight scale and it made me this way Got to respect a n***a like me Cause most of these little n***as you see running round on the streets Sadly pursuin a life they favorite rapper rapped about Ain't too long before a real gangster n***a take em out And sh** it probably be me Moms was on crack, I said f** sitting at a desk Science was only good for teaching me bout measurements Its too bad that we trapped inside this state of mind If you on the outside looking in you should keep in mind [Bridge] [Hook] Lavi$h: I'm standing in the street yelling Shoot I want to die! Cause if the world is this way I dont want to be alive! Or maybe I might hit a black hood with the wrong color on And have my own brothers k** me and that sh** is f**ing wrong! Narrator: Its wrong, but thats just how sh** is infact Who are you suppose to be, some type of voice for the blacks? Blame the government, for not putting our taxes to good You want change, n***a is you gone get us out of the hood? Lavi$h: Thats not the point g Narrator: Then what the f** you trying to say? Cause Im not exactly what you or the media portrays me to be This ain't a black thing my n***a this is worldwide The self-fulfilling prophecies thats manifesting in the minds Of young black and latinos sh** is so hard Young boys and girls wearing they ignorance as a facade Motherf**ers been trying to change sh** for so long But that'll never happen now put that sh** in a song!
