Streets Is Talking Lyrics
[Jay-Z] Is he a Blood, is he Crip? Is he that, is he this? Did he do
it? Y'know, ehh Look..
If I shoot you, I'm brainless Different
toilet, same shit, and I'm sick of explainin this I'm waitin on arraignment,
my nigga is the plantiff Yeah, I know what you thinkin - fucked up ain't
it? I shoulda known better, and I planned to but dog they be takin me out
of my zone like a nigga with a handle I sat back and watched it, put the gats
back in the closet I tried to tie my hands like an Iraqi hostage Let
niggaz take shots at me, no response I just - flip and, pop my collar like
the Fonz You give a nigga a foot he'll take you one step beyond He'll try
to play you twice, the third time is the charm You wanna conversate with the
writer of the Qu'ran or Old Testament, don't test him then I know what
y'all thinkin dick, pause Your future's my past, I've been here before I
know when you're schemin, I feel when you plottin I got, mental vision,
intuition I know where you goin I read your mind's navigational
system Everybody whisperin - pst pst pst ss
perspirin
[Chorus] When the, streets is talkin, niggaz is
gossipin Bitches all in your shit, what's the cause of it? I need to
know.. geah geah Yeah yeah yeah, yeah..
[Jay-Z] You see me with a
bodyguard that means police is watchin And I only use his waist to keep my
glock in But when shit goes down you know who's doin the poppin And if
you don't know, guess who's doin the droppin S dot again, y'all got him in a
bad mood Bad move; that's bad news How many times have I got to
prove? How many loved ones have you got to lose before you realize that
it's probably true? Whatever Jigga say, Jigga probably do Shit I paid my
dues, I made the news I came in the door for dolo, blazed the crews And
the streets say Jigga can't go back home You know when I heard that? When I
was back home I'm comfortable dog, Brooklyn to Rome On any Martin Luther,
don't part with your future Don't ever question if I got the heart to shoot
ya The answer is simply too dark for the user And as a snot-nose they
said that he got flows But will he be able to drop those before the cops
close in? 'Fore the shots froze him, and he's dead and gone from what the
block has spoken, my God Everybody stressin, who's his baby's moms? Who he
got pregnant, let me tell you, ahh...
[Chorus] When the, streets is
talkin, niggaz is gossipin Bitches all in your shit, what's the cause of
it? I need to know.. chicka-uh-ah, ah-chk-ah-uh-ah Chicka-ch-ah,
chk-ah-ah-ah When the, streets is talkin, niggaz is gossipin Bitches all
in your shit, what's the cause of it? I need to know.. gi-gi-gi, geah yeah
uh, yeah yeah uh Yeah, yo, yo
[Jay-Z] I seen my first murder in
the hall, if you must know I lost my pops when I was eleven mmm twelve years
old He's probably somewhere where the liquor is takin it's toll but I
ain't mad at you dad, holla at your lad I grew up pushin snowflake to niggaz
that was pro-base The stress'll take a young nigga, give him a old
face All I did was smoke joke, think and drink Copped 'caine and
complained, front row watch game I seen niggaz before me, with a chance to
write they own script slip up and change the story I seen young niggaz go
out in a blaze of glory before reachin puberty, scared a nigga
truthfully I took trips with so much shit in the whip that if the cops
pulled us over the dog'd get sick, SNIFF Smell me nigga? The real me nigga,
minus the rumors Holla if you feel me nigga
[Beanie Sigel] The
streets is not only watchin but they talkin now? Shit they got me circlin
the block before I'm parkin now Don't get it twisted, I ain't bitchin, I'm
just cautious now So, under the park the extra cartridge now Hit his
click Sig' up you fell at it you're dense I get word to the street like Bell
Atlantic express I feel the vibes and I hear the rumors But fuck it, I'm
still alive and I'm still ?? ?? Allah Niggaz wanna press me, put my back to
the wall But pressure bust pipes I know, I spat it to y'all To know me is
to love me, you see me, can't be me, hate this Fuck you I got guns like Neo
in +Matrix+ Cross the Family, think Mac's sweet like payroll or soft like
Play-Doh get knocked off like Fredo Corleone, they find you with a hole in
your dome I roll with niggaz that'll follow you and go to your
home Thought you ball, but nigga you fall to my defense Catch you while
you reachin, clip you then I cross you then I'm leavin Apply full court
pressure like four-four ?? get you out of here, pull pressure to the
trigger, bullets fly in three's You forever rest under bullshit, dirt lies
and leaves I do bullshit, dirt, tell lies then leave Look in my eyes,
realize it's Beans Niggaz wanna despise the team; till I play head
coach and straight up, divide they team Trade they man for some pies and
a couple of things Til the bullet.. ah, motherfuckers!! Yeah..
