Life On The Street Lyrics - Singles - Keith Murray

Intro: 

Mass hysteria illusion widespread across the world. Riots are reported in 

London and the United Nations is calling for an emergency meeting. 

Verse 1: 

A-Yo back in the day I sold hand to hand crack 

Escapin' jail all day to get my money back 

Starving' so bad that my stomach touched my back 

Anywhere that I went yo I didn't know how to act 

Oh his chain is phat 

Fuck that snatch that flash the gat 

When all I really wanted to do was rap (1,2 y'all) 

I've been preparing for this moment for years so step back 

Cla clack take that catch a heart attack 

I am the illest MC on the streets today 

But fans say wack rappers shouldn't come my way 

But I say 

I destroy crews like an AK 

Well OK please explain why you talk this way 

Cause you can sell a million records and be wack (word up) 

You can have mad skills and don't sell jack 

It got my brain racin', heart pacin', fightin' incarceration 

On the Internet in front of the whole nation 

In front of the judge with a grudge and no budge 

And no love 

That's how it is when you a thug 

If push comes to shove I rise above 

And stay dedicated to rap like ghetto love 

Hook 

"Ooh street life there's a thousand parts to play 

Street Life. Until you play your life away ooow" 

Verse 2: 

Me and my peeps on the creep deep like sleep 

Hip in heat in the seat of the jeep 

The more I try to get out the more I realize I can't 

So I roll with the beat and sing the war chant 

The power and the struggle in the concrete jungle 

And the troubles in the rubbles of the brothers on the bubble 

And yeah I heard your story your fuckin' niggas bore me 

On how you goin' out in the blaze of glory 

You ask Joe you sad as John Doe 

You can fool some heads but the real niggas know (word up) 

Niggas try to get on the mic with no skills 

I got one question for you 

How that shit feel? 

You feel you keepin' it real but you fake as a three dollar bill 

My grandmother has more skill 

My man A+ put the bug in my ear 

But don't make me open that door and have to go there 

Because... 

Hook 

Verse 3: 

Truethfully I went from havin' nothing to eat 

To eatin' a feast 

I went from chillin' on the streets to livin' in phat suites 

I went from a twenty four hour day crime wave 

To workin' in the studio with E gettin' paid 

And it ain't no mystery people know the history behind me 

And if you don't ask somebody on the street 

But Murray never worry the girls love me very 

Make a hit record quick fast in a hurry 

Total captivation domination with conversation 

That'll be talked about by the younger generation 

Remedial MCs will always implement violence 

That's because they ain't got no talent 

So I suggest you rest and learn about the heart in your chest 

Never the less fuck who's bein' the best 

More small rappers unite for world peace (word up) 

And take back our streets yo 

Hook
