[00:00.06]Streets Saved Me (Feat. Young Cash aka Joey Galaxy) ��Prod. By Ryan Tedder�� - T-Pain
[00:22.78]One day I woke up and everything around me was broke up
[00:26.07]Family couldn't handle me so I go smoke up
[00:28.96]And go right back at sleeping dream about bringing my folk up
[00:31.82]Without the chocker, oh oh
[00:34.73]Was I even ready for the hand I was dealt
[00:37.76]Was I even ready to the man that I be felt
[00:40.56]Tryin' to get on my grind let me tighten in my belt
[00:43.32]Spit this shit from my heart make the microphone melt
[00:46.35]I grew up in the area where ain't nobody scared of ya
[00:49.27]But when you hit the club niggas watch and niggas scared as f**k
[00:52.64]Don't nobody wanna be here but they ain't got no choice
[00:55.37]And er'body wanna be heard without a voice
[00:58.09]If you don't speak up I can't hear over these speakers
[01:00.74]I did what I had to do and I'm rocking double rolls royce
[01:04.32]But I wouldn't have it if it wasn't for the streets
[01:07.07]And these motherfucking beats
[01:09.19]Man I've been handling for too long I miss my city
[01:12.27]And all the motherfuckers that used to be cool with me
[01:15.05]I was born and raised
[01:16.76]Made in pain, lost in the game, insane
[01:20.35]In the streets dollar after dollar I'm spending
[01:23.78]I never can forget out the beginning
[01:26.09]'Cause nigga I was born and raised
[01:28.28]Made in pain, lost in the game, insane
[01:32.05]In the streets
[01:33.15]I never worked a 9 to 5 what do it feel like
[01:35.72]I run these streets getting money crutching that street tight shit
[01:38.64]So listen close 'cause all I tell is the ghetto stories
[01:41.61]'Cause niggas die for nothing so that stick is mandatory
[01:44.35]'Cause in the projects is no love, no heat no rub
[01:47.82]Ain't tryin' to be doctor and no lawyers just more thugs
[01:50.08]And they ain't tryin' to buy the kids books just more drugs
[01:52.76]Tell them their future ain't right, they be like "so what?"
[01:55.74]But who am I to try to point the finger
[01:58.22]'Cause I done sold everything under the sun
[02:00.39]that y'all niggers can think of
[02:02.00]And no regret all because the streets saved me
[02:04.58]But lord knows this ain't the road that my mama paved me
[02:07.99]You get tired of looking over your shoulder
[02:10.62]You get tired of your mama crying over and over
[02:13.81]You gotta take the bad with the good though
[02:16.22]Yeah I made it out, but I'm still in the hood though
[02:18.78]Man I've been handling for too long I miss my city
[02:21.61]And all the motherfuckers that used to be cool with me
