Gangstarr Code Of The Streets Lyrics

Code Of The Streets Lyrics

Take this for example young brothers want rep
Cause in the life they're
living you can't half step
It starts with the young ones doing crime for
fun
And if you ain't down you'll get played out son
So let's get a car
you know a fly whip
Get a dent pull a screwdriver and be off quick
With a
dope ride yeah and a rowdy crew
We can bag us a Benz and an Audi too
Even
a jeep or a van goddamn we're getting ours, yo
Take a trip up the strip, and
be like stars so
It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping
They can't do
jack, that's why a young brother's open
To do anything, anywhere,
anyplace
Buckwild in another court case
It's the code of the
streets
They might say we're a menace to society
But at the same time I
say "Why is it me?"
Am I the target, for destruction?
What about the
system, and total corruption?
I can't work at no fast-food joint
I got
some talent, so don't you get my point?
I'll organize some brothers and get
some crazy loot
Selling D-R-U-G-S and clocking dollars, troop
Cause the
phat dough, yo, that suits me fine
I gotta have it so I can leave
behind
The mad poverty, never having always needing
If a sucker steps up,
then I leave him bleeding
I gotta get mine, I can't take no shorts
And
while I'm selling, here's a flash report
Organized crime, they get theirs on
the down low
Here's the ticket, wanna bet on a horse show?
You gotta be a
pro, do what you know
When you're dealing with the code of the
streets
Nine times out of ten I win, with the skills I be weilding
Got
the tec one dealing, let me express my feelings
Guru has never been one to
play a big shot
It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot
Anf fuck
turning my back to the street scene
It gives me energy, so Imma keep
fiends
Coming, just to get what I'm selling
Maybe criminal or felon
dropping gems on your melon
So keep abreast to the GangStarr
conquest
Underground ruffnecks, pounds of respect
I've never been afraid
to let loose my speech
My brothers know I kick the code of the streets
