The absolute truth, yeah I'm no joke
Who me, I emerge from the crack smoked (yeah)
In the hearts of those who grind with Oβ²s (O's)
They feel my pain, they at my shows (jeah)
Thatβ²s why I got this glass pot and this triple beam (what)
I tell 'em Money Talks like Charlie Sheen (ay)

This is the streets and I am the trap

Once upon a time, I used to grind all night (grind all night)
With that residue, that was Ipod white (yeah)

Calculate my every step, Iβ²m a mathematician
Make them pigeons disappear, I'm a damn magician (yeah)

Run through a hundred grand watching Matlock (ay)
Got it by the truckload, like the bread people (jeah)

Swear it took a whole hour just to count the Jacksons (ay)
These are more than words, this is more than rap
This is the streets and I am the trap
