Life On The Street

Keith Murray


Intro: 
Mass hysteria illusion widespread across the world. Riots are reported in 
London and the United Nations is calling for an emergency meeting. 

Verse 1: 
A Yo back in the day I sold hand to hand crack 
Escapin' jail all day to get my money back 
Starving' so bad that my stomach touched my back 
Anywhere that I went yo I didn't know how to act 
Oh his chain is phat 
Fuck that snatch that flash the gat 
When all I really wanted to do was rap (1,2 y'all) 
I've been preparing for this moment for years so step back 
Cla clack take that catch a heart attack 
I am the illest MC on the streets today 
But fans say wack rappers shouldn't come my way 
But I say 
I destroy crews like an AK 
Well OK please explain why you talk this way 
Cause you can sell a million records and be wack (word up) 
You can have mad skills and don't sell jack 
It got my brain racin', heart pacin', fightin' incarceration 
On the Internet in front of the whole nation 
In front of the judge with a grudge and no budge 
And no love 
That's how it is when you a thug 
If push comes to shove I rise above 
And stay dedicated to rap like ghetto love 

Hook 
"Ooh street life there's a thousand parts to play 
Street Life. Until you play your life away ooow" 

Verse 2: 
Me and my peeps on the creep deep like sleep 
Hip in heat in the seat of the jeep 
The more I try to get out the more I realize I can't 
So I roll with the beat and sing the war chant 
The power and the struggle in the concrete jungle 
And the troubles in the rubbles of the brothers on the bubble 
And yeah I heard your story your fuckin' niggas bore me 
On how you goin' out in the blaze of glory 
You ask Joe you sad as John Doe 
You can fool some heads but the real niggas know (word up) 
Niggas try to get on the mic with no skills 
I got one question for you 
How that shit feel? 
You feel you keepin' it real but you fake as a three dollar bill 
My grandmother has more skill 
My man A+ put the bug in my ear 
But don't make me open that door and have to go there 
Because...

Verse 3: 
Truethfully I went from havin' nothing to eat 
To eatin' a feast 
I went from chillin' on the streets to livin' in phat suites 
I went from a twenty four hour day crime wave 
To workin' in the studio with E gettin' paid 
And it ain't no mystery people know the history behind me 
And if you don't ask somebody on the street 
But Murray never worry the girls love me very 
Make a hit record quick fast in a hurry 
Total captivation domination with conversation 
That'll be talked about by the younger generation 
Remedial MCs will always implement violence 
That's because they ain't got no talent 
So I suggest you rest and learn about the heart in your chest 
Never the less fuck who's bein' the best 
More small rappers unite for world peace (word up) 
And take back our streets yo
