[00:12.99]Memories on corners with the fours & the moors
[00:15.87]Walk to the store for the rose talking straightforward to
[00:19.14]Got uncles that smoke it some put blow up they nose
[00:22.37]To cope with they lows the wind is cold & it blows
[00:25.38]In they socks & they souls holding they rolls
[00:28.19]Corners leave souls opened & closed hoping for more
[00:31.76]With nowhere to go rolling in droves
[00:34.26]They shoot the wrong way cause they ain't knowing they goal
[00:37.95]The streets ain't safe cause they ain't knowing he code
[00:41.01]By the fours I was told either focus or fold
[00:43.81]Got cousins with flows hope they open some doors
[00:46.31]So we can cop clothes & roll in a Rolls
[00:50.56]Now I roll in a "Olds" with windows that don't roll
[00:52.99]Down the roads where cars get broke in & stole
[00:55.74]These are the stories told by Stony & Cottage Grove
[00:58.88]The world is cold the block is hot as a stove
[01:02.19]On the corners
[01:03.19]I wish I could give ya this feeling
[01:05.82]I wish I could give ya this feeling
[01:08.19]On the corners niggas robbing killing dying
[01:12.34]Just to make a living (huh)
[01:14.47]We underrated we educated
[01:15.97]The corner was our time when times stood still
[01:20.66]And gators and snakes gangs and yellow and pink
[01:23.91]And colored blue profiles glorifying that
[01:26.91]Streetlights & deepnights cats trying to eat right
[01:30.16]Riding no seat bikes with work to feed hypes
[01:32.97]So they can keep sweet Nikes they head & they feet right
[01:36.79]Desires of streetlife cars & w**d types
[01:39.29]It's hard to breath nights days are thief like
[01:42.12]The beast roam the streets the police is Greeklike
[01:45.24]Game at it's peak we speak & believe hype
[01:48.42]Bang in the streets hats cocked left or deep right
[01:51.74]Its steep life coming up where sheeplike
[01:54.18]Rappers & hoopers we strive to be like
[01:57.11]G's with 3 stripes seeds that need light
[02:00.61]Cheese & weaves tight needs & thieves strike
[02:03.78]The corner where struggle & greed fight
[02:05.91]We write songs about wrong cause it's hard to see right
[02:09.85]Look to the sky hoping it will bleed light
[02:13.03]Reality's and I heard that she bites
[02:15.85]The corner
[02:16.78]I wish I could give ya this feeling
[02:18.91]I wish I could give ya this feeling
[02:21.16]On the corners niggas robbing killing dying
[02:25.03]Just to make a living (huh)
[02:28.78]The corner was our magic our music our politics
[02:32.91]Fires raised as tribal dancers and
[02:34.85]War cries that broke out on different corners
[02:37.44]Power to the people black power black is beautiful
[02:40.23]Black church services murderers Arabs serving burger its
[02:43.18]Cats with gold permanents move they bags as herbalist
[02:45.99]The dirt isn't just fertile its people working & earning this
[02:49.76]The curb-getters go where the cash flow & the current is
[02:53.19]It's so hot that burn to live the furnace is
[02:56.88]Where the money move & the determined live
[02:59.32]We talk play lotto & buy german beers
[03:01.70]It's so black packed with action that's affirmative
[03:04.63]The corners
[03:05.94]I wish I could give ya this feeling
[03:08.01]I wish I could give ya this feeling
[03:10.13]On the corners niggas robbing killing dying
[03:15.18]Just to make a living (huh)
[03:16.88]The corner was our Rock of Gibraltar our Stonehenge
[03:19.81]Our Taj Mahal our monument
[03:23.08]Our testimonial to freedom to peace and to love
[03:28.58]Down on the corner
