Walk These Streets
(专辑: The Seventh Seal - 2009)
[Intro: Tracey Horton (Rakim)] La-da-da-dah, la-da-da-dah La-da-da-dah, la-da-da-dah (Uh... yeah...) (This is for the
haters... keep hatin) La-da-da-dah, la-da-da-dah La-da-da-dah, la-da-da-dah (It's what we call money music, right here) (Uh, yeah, let's go in) [Verse 1: Rakim] I
perform in cities, hoods, and slums, the
best seller is drugs And money is the
only thing that get love They say don't let it make you, but that's how they rate you And the
more you got, the
more they hate you (That's okay too!) Just don't get in the
way, 'cause at the
end of the
day My agenda's make sure I
get them ends to get paid (uh-huh) So I'm stackin grands 'til the
math expand It's the
man with the
master plan Since the
Bambino, cash made my path cross with evil Uno dos cinco on a
crowded corner rollin c-lo To chips and the
chick in the
casino pourin Cliquot 'Cause now I
make music for the
c-notes From New York to Puerto Rico, California to Rio Hit the
streets like the
kilo but I'm legal It's swga like I
walk with heat though with all my people But it's just me and my alter ego [Chorus: Tracey Horton] I
walk these streets, with my mind on my plan It's alright if you don't understand I
walk these streets, think like I
got a
gun in my hand 'cause hatin is the
nature of man (Sometimes I
wanna, stop the
cameras, just pop the
hammer Box the
innocent bystander and his man up) I
walk these streets, think like I
got a
gun in my hand It's alright if you don't understand Just stay outta my waaaay [Verse 2: Maino] MAINOOOOO~! Yo, one for my comrades, two for my family Three for the
day that I
run into my enemies We gon' make a
movie, the
world gon' remember me I
survived it all dawg, what the
hell you tellin me? I
remember days when, I
was young and aidin Cuttin class, chasin ass, couldn't pass grades and Chillin on the
block then, listenin to Rakim Back of his album filled up with Killer Ben Supreme Magnetic and I
wasn't athletic But I
ran around with the
Tre-8 Magnetic Money on my mind, crack vials in my Levi's Been a
dog since I
had the
cream colored Filas (Hahahah!) Yeah, yeah, we fly, seen it all with these eyes Gunplay and drugs if you put my mind on rewind Fast forward my life, ya boy done MADE IT! If I
could do it over, I
wouldn't CHANGED IT! [Chorus] [Verse 3: Rakim] (Ay, good lookin out my dude) Aiyyo Maino, it's the
same ol' same ol' Don't matter if you in it for the
fame or you lay low Haters gon' hate but, it's okay though (Keep doin what you ddo) The
angle is make sure the
payroll stay swoll Big faces, cake dough and di-nay-ros Rubels, yen yang, euros and pesos Seven digit figures, tryna make more zay-ros Spray holes in whoever in the
way so (Stay outta my waaaay) While I
count the
next bundle (that's right) "All means necessary, " Malcolm X
hustle A
threat yet humble, about to flex muscle Get a
big amount then I'm in and out the
next jungle 'Cause every other day, I'm in another state It's like I
cross the
thin line between love and hate But I
gotta eat, gotta get another plate So I'm on my cake walk for the
cake [Chorus] Just stay outta my waaaay... (It's what they do...) Just stay outta my waaaay...
