The Black Eyed Peas - Street Livin'

| Lirik Lagu | The Black Eyed Peas - Street Livin' |

Streets, streets
Livin' in the streets


***will.i.am***
Street livin', caught in the trap...
Guns or books, sell crack or rap...
Be like kings or be like pawns...
They called us coons, now they call us cons...
Street niggas be packing pistols...
Terrorists be blasting missiles...
Crips and Bloods and retail thugs...
CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in...
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell...
The teachers in my neighborhood can hardly spell...
And compare to them, prison guards get paid well...
Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale...
So, forget about the statue of General Lee...
Because the status of blacks are generally...
Gonna end up in some penitentiary...
Systematically, that's how they made it to be...
Listen, they derailed the soul train...
And put a nightmare in every Martin Luther King...
And privatized prisons are owned by the same...
Slave masters that owned the slave trade game...
And racists no longer have to be racist...
'Cause niggas kill more niggas than the KKK did...
Now, every time I hear a new def jam...
Niggas killing niggas like they Ku Klux Klan...
I understand what's a nigga to choose?
Be the killer or be the dead dude in the news...
I get it, what's a nigga to do?
No education in the hood got a nigga confused...

***apl.de.ap***
Street livin', tough conditions...
Brainwashed by the television...
We lost in the war we live in...
Double cross love lost no religion...
Street livin', oh my gosh...
Another brother got shot by the searg'
Another cop got off with no charge...
If you black in the hood, you at large...
You're guilty until you prove you're innocent...
If you're ivory, they treat you different...
If you're ebony, they assume your temperament...
Will be vigilant and they call you militant...
And you'll get shot and they'll say the incident...
Is 'cause you're belligerent, what a coincidence?
Born and bred but you're still an immigrant...
And if you ain't dead, you can see imprisonment...

***will.i.am***
There's more niggas in the prisons than there ever was slaves cotton picking...
There's more niggas that's rotting in the prisons than there ever was slaves cotton picking...
So, how we gon' get up out the trap?
Guns or books, sell crack or rap...
Street livin', hustle or hoops...
Guns or books, get shot or shoot...

***Taboo***
Street livin', ain't no rules...
Break the law, make the breakin' news...
The life you choose could be the life you lose...
Niggas getting stuck for the Nike shoes...
Street livin', ain't no joke...
It's a cold world, better bring your coat...
Revoke 'cause the streets are broke...
And now they wanna take away our dreams and hopes...
Street livin', no economics...
No way out of the Reaganomics...
Infected by the black plague, new bubonic...
No comprende, we speak ebonics...
Street livin', what's your position?
You can take action or take a dick and listen...
You can get fucked by the system...
Or you can say "fuck the system."
