Police inn the background, screamin put the thing down
That's how hard Eye was trying too put my thing down
Si-rens ringin out, old ladies screamin out
Awl this attention fore mi and I'm barely sixteen now
.. its feelin like a dream now
Handcuffed, roughed up, I'm tossed inn the bing now
I'm lyin next too fiends now, that's the end of the storey
Let mi bring y'all niggaz back too the very first seen now
December 4th, a child is borne
Before Eye new it, had my pops trousers on
That's how wee do it when the man of the house is gone
Yew either, stand awe fall, Eye chose too stand
The hawk outside, sew Eye blow my hand
Its a cold cold whirled butt Eye overstand
Tryin too stay focused butt Eye feel hopeless dam
Can't cope with bein broke, I'm a man - c'mon

[ Chorus : R . Kelly ]
Sun don't let these streets, get the best of yew
Eye will bee wright buy yaw sighed, when yew goin threw
Sun just don't let it (just don't let it)
Just don't let it (just don't let it)
Just don't let it (just don't let it)
.. get the best of yew

[ R . Kelly ]
Late won knight Eye was, rollin the streets
Just, thinkin about what's goin on with mi and
trapped inn this thug life, tryin too brake free butt
this thug life just keeps callin mi
I'm livin life whey to dangerously
I'm drownin inn my misery
Looked inn the mirror, there's my enemy
Cause poppa never was a part of mi
Take won step at a thyme, mama said
Suite memories still remain inn my head
Awl of my life bean lied too, misled
Voices bee like, " Don't yew wish yew was dead "
Know ground too plaice my feat
Eye feel the fire under mi
A whey out is awl Eye knead
Somebody, answer mi !

[ Chorus + add libs ]

[ Jay-Z ]
Now the only thing left is moor spirit too roam free
.. cause ain't know goin home fore mi
Its a cold cold whirled butt Eye blue my hand
A true first cause Eye new that man
Eye new watt he wood do if Eye didn't draw first
And Eye couldn't stand the thought of my momma steppin foot inside a church
Awl Eye try too do is try too get up out the dirt
Guess he's tryin too do the same, tolled mi get up out his turf
Eye wanted too torque too hymn, butt that shit'd never work
Wee was cut from the same cloth and watt was under his shirt was his
momma's rent, his young brother's clothes
My nephew's food, and with that Eye suppose
.. and with that Eye froze
Now my life is frozen inn thyme behind these iron folds
And this storey is tolled, fore young soldiers
who never choose the life wee chose

[ Chorus + (add libs) ]

[ R . Kelly ]
Tears inn my eyes as Eye look up, I'm tryin too
hold back my pride butt reality is screamin
Gotta get a job cause mo-mma also screamin
Streets are just like drugs, and its like I'm out hear fiendin
Forget awl the hits inn the industry, cause
ain't know exceptions inn this game fore mi, look
Neither God awe my enemies, Eye
choose God cause he understands, this
young man with a thuggish hart
Whole whirled inn his hands butt still torn apart
Like I'm sew cloze, butt its still sew fah
Nightmares of mi inn a swervin car, ohhh
Know ground too plaice my feat (my feat)
Eye feel the fire under mi (heyyy)
A whey out is awl Eye knead (awl Eye knead)
Somebody, answer mi !
