Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Spoken Word: The Streets
- Walking down the street
- I hold my breath cuz it wreaks
- I don't ever take a peak
- Another person takes a leak
- Drunk, numb, deceived
- Pumped with an absent mind
- As he shrivels and dies
- Another soul is deprived
- All of these streets are decaying
- As fast as they were made
- Got our souls decimating
- Leaving us there to fade
- Just like my sisters and cousins
- I must've met a couple hundred
- Won't see em again
- Cuz the streets take them in
- They all lie there
- Same look on they face
- Parents filled with disgrace
- Another person to hate
- One more bullet whizzing through
- One more body to scoop
- Off the ground
- I gotta get out but I don't know how
- This is madness in head
- I try to go back to bed
- Too many screams
- Too many tears
- Got they voices impaired
- This is life
- They except it
- But I don't turn from my brethren
- So I gave him a dollar
- But he spent it on drugs
- Overdosed to escape
- The world he's been on
- Damn
- These streets
- I get up and shake it off
- But I begin to cough
- All the smoke in the air
- Everybody's unaware
- But I don't want to give in
- Won't get sucked in
- Imma keep moving forward
- Even if I'm outnumbered
- Cuz my future is in sight
- Never seen it so bright
- We gon be alright
- Just follow the light
- One foot at a time
- With every word I rhyme
- My soul redefines
- I don't survive I thrive
- When you put my aside
- Don't think imma hide
- Your not worth my time
- Called me an outcast?
- Alright
- I don't mind
- I want to be different
- Don't want to fit in
- If the result's dying at 20
- And already having kids
- Letting drugs control your life
- Because you gave up the fight
- Look
- I don't want to rain on your parade
- But our ancestors fought too hard to not be slaves
- I'm not gon waste their sacrifice
- It's about time you realize it
- Y'all tarnishing our name
- Shooting niggas for Jays
- Even though you could've got a job and got paid
- Now you've been marked as a murder
- Your fate has been sealed
- All over some fad that'll disappear in couple years
- You jeopardized your future
- And ended some body else's
- Every one's getting used to it
- Some even predicted it
- They don't even put us on the news no more
- They just become a statistic
- There's no hope for the future cuz everyone's pessimistic
- We were free for a while
- But now we're back in a cage
- Everyone's looking in
- Waiting to be amazed
- But as time moves on, fewer people flee
- All the people watching are beginning to leave
- Laughing as they walk cuz they know something we don't
- The cage guess what doesn't have a lock
- We can leave out when we want
- But we're too scared to look
- So we're trapped in a prison we made
- Waiting for a bail that won't get paid
- Damn
- These streets
