Street Life
K-Rino featuring K.O. & Big Sam Lyrics

Who said life was an easy road, alot of people can't even bare my load
Life is a path that's not easy to navigate and many people can't handle the hardships it brings.

Hustle everyday when we touch the road, yo mi just, can't leave the streets
We have to work hard every day while on the streets because it's hard to break free from the lifestyle it brings.

STREET LIFE!!! It give me money and my food and my bills dem paid
The street life provides me with an income, food, and covers my bills.

STREET LIFE!!! Now everybody calls you boss because you got shit made
Now that I've made it in the streets, people call me a boss because I have money, power, and influence.

STREET LIFE!!! Di house pon di hills wid di pool sittin unda di shade
In the street life, I live in a house on a hill with a pool under the shade.

Oh Oh the STREET LIFE!!! Honor that!!!!
The street life is something that we should honor and cherish, despite its difficulties.

Now you can sit around and watch it all go down around you
You can choose to be a passive observer of life, watching everything happen around you.

Or you can imitate the ways the killers and cons move
Alternatively, you can decide to copy the behaviors and tactics of the dangerous people around you.

You can't simulate the days when they played by the rules
However, you can't replicate the time where these people played by society's rules.

And if you wasn't in the maze you really can't drop jewels
If you weren't part of the dangerous life in the streets, you can't share any advice or knowledge.

You really can't understand, how a boy could be fooled
It's hard to wrap your head around how a young person could be so misguided by the allure of the streets.

And when he turned twenty nine he still need to be schooled
Even when an individual in this life grows older, they still have much to learn and much growing to do.

See it's a difference in takin a stand and mannin up
There's a significant difference between standing up for one's beliefs and being mature in handling life's challenges.

As apposed to bein a man and standin up
In contrast, there's a difference between a person who just stands up and confronts issues and being a mature adult in handling those situations.

Listen I already been there
The singer has lived through the street life and is now offering advice.

That book of live men small section of survivors my name in there
The book of successful people in the streets is tiny, but the artist is one of the few who have made it out alive.

For the homies locked down since days of a juvenile
The artist remembers the friends who are still in jail since they were young.

Tryin to maintain in the game cause they just gettin out
These friends are trying to keep up in the life of the streets, even though they were released from jail recently.

You got some livin in the now
Some individuals will always live in the present and not think about the future.

You know them sheisty ass individuals livin foul
There are always going to be shady people who will do anything for selfish reasons.

He claim that he got it locked, but he still 'gon run to the store
There are people who claim to be in charge, but they still have to do menial tasks like everyone else.

The game's fucked up! Shit is reversed now
The street life has changed, and things are now backward and confusing.

The hood is lookin like the suburbs now which way is home?!
The neighborhood now looks like the suburbs, and it is difficult to determine where home truly is.

Just do what you always did or you 'gon get what you always got
The artist believes that you should keep doing what you're good at unless you want a different result.

Get STABBED get SHOT, the street life
The street life is dangerous and comes with the risk of getting stabbed or shot.
