[Big L]
2
Yeah, it's the Big L
3
Comin at you once again, in nine-five
4
And I dedicate this one
5
to all my peoples from Uptown.. and everywhere
6
Check it!
7
Yo where I'm from it ain't cookies and cream
8
There's a lot of peer pressure growin up as a young teen
9
You never know when you gonna get wet
10
Cause mad clowns be catchin wreck with a tec just to get a rep
11
Instead of cool friends, they'd rather hang with male thugs
12
Instead of goin to school, they'd rather sell drugs
13
It's best to go the right route and not the wrong one
14
Because it's gonna catch up witchu in the long run
15
Brothers be all up on us, actin stupid, gettin lifted
16
They life is twisted, and most of them are quite gifted
17
In other words, they got TALENT; but they'd rather sell cracks
18
and bust gats and run the streets actin violent
19
To them it's all about hittin skinz and makin some easy green
20
Cause that's all they show you on the TV screen
21
All they care about is a buck or bustin a sweet nut
22
They don't give a (WHAT?) cause they street struck
23
Chorus: Big L
24
You betta listen when L rhyme; cause bein street struck'll
25
get you nuttin but a bullet or jail time
26
So pay attention when L rhyme; cause bein street struck'll
27
get you nuttin but a bullet or jail time
28
[Big L]
29
Before the rap contract, I was sellin crack
30
Stay strapped with a Mac, I was into alla that
31
I started rappin and got nice as hell
32
If it wasn't for this I might be doin life in jail
33
And some of my peeps are still in the game sellin 'caine
34
If that's what you gotta do to maintain, go 'head and do your thang
35
But with the cash profit make an investment
36
And try not to go to the grave like the rest went
37
Cause you can be rich with crazy loot, own a house and nine cars
38
What good is that, if you're dead, or behind bars?
39
And yo it's not even funny
40
I've seen a lot of my peers give up they careers for some fast money
41
They could've been boxers, ballplayers or rap singers
42
Instead they bank robbers and crack slingers
43
Aiyyo they used to be legit kids, now they corrupt
44
They had dreams but gave em up cause they street struck
45
Chorus: repeat 2X
46
[Big L]
47
I still chill with my peeps in the streets; but most of the time
48
I'm in the crib, writin rhymes to some dope beats
49
Or either callin up some freaks to bone
50
But word up, I try to leave the streets alone
51
But it's crazy hard kid, in other words, it's spooky
52
The streets be callin me, like the crack be callin Pookie
53
It ain't a dumb joke, listen to this young folk
54
Cause where I'm from -- you can choke from the gunsmoke
55
Stay off the corners; that might be your best plan
56
Before you catch a bullet that was meant for the next man
57
Or end up with a deep cut
58
Or relaxin on a hospital bed, from bein street struck
59
Chorus: repeat 2X
60
[Big L]
61
Worrrd up!
62
Aiyyo take it from me, the Big L
63
Cause I been through it all, youknowhatI'msayin?
64
Stay off them corners you'll stay out of trouble
65
And I gotta say rest in peace to all the cats teasin streets
66
I'm outta here
67
