Nas - Street Glory lyrics

[Pop] (Intro) Uhh, still out in these motherf**in projects Still a n***a ain't never gonna get the f** up outta here n***as just don't understand the story Chorus: [Pop] n***as die for the street glory Go to trial get tried for each story And each n***a got a story And QB the streets call me So if you see me slippin' reach for me I'm goin' after street glory Go to trial get tried for each story And each n***a got a story And QB the streets call me So if you see me slippin' reach for me I'm goin' after street glory [NAS] Yo Every time I turn around n***as shot, n***as stabbed When tonight's pregnant girls struggling to get a cab Fiends lurkin', D's searchin', pat pockets Kids put to bed duck they heads from gats poppin' Queensbridge slingers hoppin' out Benzes Don status, dope fiends got syringes Poppin' out their arm scratching I remember park jams Gazelles, perfect wave, shell Adidas Smellin' reefer way before purple haze Private stock peer n***a with ill walks like Mark Clare Hats tilted wild n***as lickin' shots in the air Me and Pop was there, through the years our names have switched Ain't nothin' changed but the names Nastradamus and Blitz What project is this? QB, Vernon and 10th 12th street murderous pimps, hot as hell's heat What could you tell me? n***a's seen it all in this game When it's all said and done just remember my name [Pop] I'm familiar with the dead gra** drama black gates and crime Embryo of the ghetto born face and time n***as shatter they dreams while I'm chasing mine Ghetto fame got a fellow's name draped and shined How do I describe an atmosphere where streets are polluted? Where corruptors and new police being recruited Somehow I make it through the day stayin' secluded While the blues aim leavin' another slain, executed Many thought's cause I see the past grimmly That could've been me, explodes out on 41st and 10th street Through all the pap grease and street chases Sudden raids and confrontations leadin' the misdeamenor weed cases I blew smoke through hallway window Watched the buddah clouds linger Pluckin the blunt brokes from my fingers My eyes flip different shades Similar to people you meet everyday who be displayin' wicked ways Seein' nothing but another day In this six story rat trap Them gats clap another n***a's blazed Events in my hood rotate Like the barrel on the 38 snob in the world of fake love Before I blaze son, I'm kissing the slugs Coming at you kisses and hugs When d**h calls who's really a thug The street glory got me deeply in love Can't shake it, can't take it, can't make it Got me needin' this drug (Chorus)
