Magazine Street (feat. Park Ave.)

Life on Magazine Street, oh yeah

I was the oldest brother of four

Doin' whatever I had to do to survive

I'm not sayin' what I did was alright

Tryin' to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight

Been down so long, givin' up didn't cross my mind

I knew there was a better way of life and I was just tryin' to find

You don't know what you'll do 'til you're put under pressure

Across Magazine Street was a hell of a tester

It's mainy in the slums, killers, hookers and bums

Sleepin' in the parks, homeless people pushin' they shoppin' carts

She used to be thick but now she sucked up

On that glass dick, lost her butt

Home invasions and robbers

Master lock, kick door stoppers

Dice game crackin', burpin'

Rivals slide through, get to squirtin'

Bust back, get off

Protect yourself at all costs

Here come the po-po, the cherries, they swarm

Be quiet, there's body cameras on they uniforms

And I ain't tryin' to go back, I'm reformed

Got Jesus Christ tatted on my arm

If you ain't got haters, you ain't doin' enough

My people be jealous, they hella envious

Mayhem and drama

It's sick out here, teenagers'll jump your mama

Sucka shit to the fullest, by far

They'll record you and holler out, "WorldStar!"

And I don't like that shit one bit

Karma'll come back and bite you like a tick

We use dopefiend matches if we ain't got a lighter

Burn down woods like a forest fire

Up the street, down the street, they war

Over what? Over a girl

Feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys

Grew up with each other, used to be boys

And ain't no OGs around to defuse the noise

We need a reputable youngster out here with a voice

1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

Pimps tryna catch a woman that's weak (Woman that's weak)

1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

Might not survive if you're weak (Might not survive if you're weak)

Oh, 1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

I'm gettin' game from my OGs

Oh, 1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

Pushin' keys and sellin' that weed (Sellin' that weed)

Magazine Street

Oh, Magazine (Magazine Street)

Tire marks on the pavement

Row houses, covered windows, no landscapin'

Speed bumps

Mufflers might get some lumps

Apple cider vinegar and a Bayer aspirin

Old people outlivin' us, they lastin'

Youngsters gettin' killed, they blastin'

We 'bout to be extinct, they laughin'

For hella long, her and her daddy didn't speak

'Cause when you get your tongue pierced

They gon' think that you a freak

Back in the day, somethin' like that'd get your ass beat

Don't believe in abortions, so the babies they keep

My potna Faceville, he hecka godly

But he think too much, got bail probably

You can take us out the hood but not the urban in us

All kind of financial turbulence

Checkin' his traps, countin' his stacks

Brown paper bag, tax-free scratch

Flyin' through the slums with the black on slap

Magazine Street bumpin' Bobby Womack

Here come them people, they think I sell raw

Who is them people? The po-po's, y'all

The long arm of the law, the racket busters

They see the gold chain and the diamond clusters

Ridin' with my heat, I got it on my seat

Don't wanna go under to jail, don't wanna go up under them sheets

I don't need no iron, I'm already creased

I'll squeeze my iron on the enemies

He love her and she love him

Arguin' in the street, 4 AM

Funkin' always fun 'til somebody die

When we gon' get tired of seein' mamas cry?

Pimps tryna catch a woman that's weak (Woman that's weak)

1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

Might not survive if you're weak (Might not survive if you're weak)

Oh, 1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

Oh, 1300 Block Magazine Street (Magazine Street)

Never know just who you might meet (Sellin' that weed)
