I exist in the shadows created by street lights My life is charcoal sketches Vandalizin' your oil-based watercolored world thoughts and insights My life, my life, drama takes place underneath these street lights No, no curtain, no script, no costumes No playwright's direction, no, no dressin' rooms, no, no curtain calls My, my dreams are my image overlooked by these street lights As we, we struggle to find the space between the The space between desperation and insanity Loneliness in hell, hunger in street fights Darkness in these street lights Our, our souls play out underneath these street lights, man Only a select few are granted fifteen minutes of fame though We all run the same course through this man-made pitfall infested X-games See, I-I've learned everything underneath these street lights The Butcher, I'm back recruitin' We posted up like Olajuwon back from Houston The streets, I adapted to it 'cause I was attracted to it Took the I-95 from Dade to Massachusetts You know how the trappers do it, blocks like Patrick Ewing That coke turn to rock, when it's smoke, it go back to fluid Deeper when the brains of the teacher don't match your students Lease a few 100K out the streets, no tax included Ain't ask for nothin', I never had to do it I came home on schedule, ain't have to rat to do it I play whatever she like, she start relaxin' to it Before she unbutton my Louis, she gotta ask to do it I'm not a regular nigga, y'all some petty lil' niggas At eighteen, I had a plug and a federal sentence You want my chain? Take it but end up dead if you get it Black Suburban full of shooters ahead of the Sprinter Uh-huh, look, you want it all, then hit me, I get more than fifty You can meet me by the border down in Corpus Christi My old bitch cold, sick, yeah, of course she miss me But she knew her choice to leave was gon' cost eventually I let these niggas think they were smarter Without speakin', I drew the Mona Lisa up while they talkin' Uh, now this where we gon' clean up the market But when I had to flush, what, I just read in the toilet, ah Ayo, I spent your re-up on my belt and pants I flew your bitch to a beach Knew she'll cheat as soon as her feet felt the sand Open her legs like a health exam Hella Xans and we party like we a part of a Elvis band Fiends smokin' out the Welches can I took green and white and painted the streets, I'm like a Celtics fan A selfish man but I felt his plans A powerful mind can build a empire with someone else's hands Think major when I'm speakin' paper Leave the tailor with an extinct animal, fuck mink and gator I get the pounds then I shrink 'em later You got premature paper, your stash belong in a incubator How you niggas do illegal favors for free? Give me a key to drop off, I won't see you later I'm a whole brick of diesel layer That's why you see me in the club lookin' better than a Eagles' player I don't need a jersey, every piece at least thirty Run the streets all week but sleep early Mink inside of my car, my seat's furry You the weakest link in your squad, Keith Murray My plug know we gotta be strapped when he serve me As long as the price don't change, then we sturdy Every time I text your wife, she hurry Leave a bitch with wet pussy, broke pockets, knees dirty Let's go
