Street People Lyrics

Krayzie: 

Dedicate this to all the niggas on the streets; 

niggas in the hood strugglin', doin' what the f**k 

they gotta do to make their 

money; and all the thugs, the hustlas, 

the gangstas, the playas, pimps. Let's roll, let's 

roll. 

[. . . ghetto love, ghetto love. 

I can feel that ghetto love, ghetto love . . .] 


Street people [people]: All my people be 

them niggas with an attitude. [We're ready for war.] 

The street mentality: it's do 

what you gotta do [do what you gotta do]. 


I dedicate this to the niggas in the hood [Where they 

at? Where they at? Where they at?], keepin' it real 

on the street. Niggas 

they practice what they preach, stayin' true until 

they D-I-E. Niggas still strong. We keep on bailin' 

through the stress and all 

the rest of the sh*t that's goin' on. Speakin' of 

violence, I see, you got to keep a pistol, 'cause if 

niggas think you're rich, you 

gon' be got, they out to pinch ya. Bullshit you 

not--killin' because of the pump, and it drives us to 

the point of no return, 

especially when you 're gone off of the sherm. You 

could give a f**k about a nigga flossin'. While you 

walkin', he on sixteen 

switches. Ain't that a bit*h? But that's life. 

This sh*t ain't nothin' nice, and he'll take yours if 

his ain't right. And I can't stop 'em 

or knock 'em, but yo, I wouldn't even try, though. 

'Cause Bible say, 'Hey, either repent or you will 

die.' So [so, so], choose 

one [just one]: either repent and get 

saved, or put some food on your table for now. 


Krayzie: 

Street people [people]: All my people be 

them niggas with an attitude. [We're ready for war.] 

The street mentality: it's do 

what you gotta do [do what you gotta do]. 


Krayzie [with 

Niko]: 

I see my sisters out there hustlin', man [strugglin', 

man.]. Do what it takes, but that's the brakes, 

rustle up what you can. Gotta 

feed your babies [babies, yeah]. Handle yourself 

your own business--don't wait on that nigga to get you 

nothin'. We been 

poor long enough, and I know you would scheme on 

somethin' [somethin', yeah]. Take the welfare, f**k 

it! The system givin' 

it to you, 'cause it's guilt on they conscience. 

Don't let 'em fool you [don't let 'em fool you, no]. 

Really ain't doin' a nigga any 

favors, so come on and get the paper, paper, before 

you die, die. This verse is for my ghetto queens, 

tryin' to come up and get 

them better things, particularly cheddar cheese. 

Make that money [Make that money]. Work, work, work. 
 

Whatever your 

occupation, as long as you bringin' home the bacon, 

bacon, bacon. Don't let your enemy lock your mind, 

too. And I hope y'all 

really been payin' attention 'cause it's 1999, ooh. 

[Ooh-ooh, yeah.] Though people comin' around, we gon' 

thug. So where 

the thugs at? Gimme some of 

that ghetto love [ghettp love]. 


Krayzie: 

Street people [people]: All my people be 

them niggas with an attitude. [We're ready for war.] 

The street mentality: it's do 

what you gotta do [do what you gotta do]. 


Krayzie [with 

Niko]: 

Now if y'all feelin' me, let's get down and tear the 

roof off the mother. Shoot the muthaf**kas! I'm 

serious and mean business. 

Ready to pump pump and ride, you with it? Come 

on, put it out there. Pump, pump, pump police. They 

treat us like 

animals--let's attack 'em like beasts. But hold on: 

'fore you start fightin' [hold on, hold on], let's 

brighten up the action scene, 

pass me the gasoline [no more, no more]. I'm really 

not trippin' on this rappin' no more, 'cause I know it 

won't last too much 

longer . When it's over, then I be a full-time 

soldier [I told you], if I make it out of the game 

with all my sanity. Get paid, f**k 

the fame, get out quickly. Understand me? 'Cause 

at the rate I'm goin', pretty soon they'll try to ban 

me for killin' these 

muthaf**kas tryin' to tamper with my family. Now 

they got me runnin' from these po-po's, tryin' to jam 

me, but I told them 

muthaf**kas not to try to test my manly, and this 

is my mentality for f**kin' with the street life, 

street life [street life.] 


Krayzie: 

Street people [people]: All my people be 

them niggas with an attitude. [We're ready for war.] 

The street mentality: it's do 

what you gotta do [do what you gotta do]. 


Niko: 

I gotta give it up to all my thugstas, we're street 

people. Them niggas with an attitude, let's stop the 

killin', we're strugglin' just 

like you to make a livin'. We're not pretendin', 

don't y'all remember? It ain't easy tryin' to stay 

alive, some people out there 

smokin' crack. My people workin' 9 to 5, just doin' 

it right. Real strong, hold on 'cause it won't be 

long before the strugglin' 

days is long gone, 

hold on, be strong. 


Krayzie: 

Somebody better 'em we the T-H-U-G's 

real f**kin' soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, we 

soldiers. 

we're T-H-U-G's real f**kin' 

soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, we soldiers. 

[Get on up, get 

on up.]
