Street Life (original) Songtext
von Lighter Shade of Brown

Street life
My life, my life, my life
Street life
Street life
Street life
You can live, die and stride in the street life


Another sun shiny day
It′s got me searching for the cream
In the land of green and fulfilling all my Cali dreams
Put it together, got it stitch up and him
Spinning two times ten on every corner that we've been
So get on in, we about to ride, we about to slide
From the east to the west side
Hooked up in some old town folks
Some big OG′s, and little locs, we sipping sporty
Paper chasing so peep the conversation
Gambino money making and taking home the bacon
You can have it your way, it's Cali all day
I'm here to let you know that′s how we playas play
Straight up, cause we about to set it off
Set anything you want, anything you need, you know we got it all

Street life
My life, my life, my life, my life
Street life
You can live, you can die, you can stride, you can try
Can′t get enough of the street life
My life, my life, my life, my life
Street life
You can live, die and stride in the street life


Sun is beaming hot
Another day up in my neighborhood
I'm riding low, yeah you know just like a playa should
I see my primo on the corner buying tacos
I say what′s up, he turned around and he said what's up vato
Nada mas, hey what time do them Lakers play?
At 7:30 and you know that we getting paid
My baby′s mother keeps on blowing up my pager
I called her back and told her that I would be by there later
But what's up with them girls at the parking lot
Looking firme with their mouths around the lollipop
Shoot my game and then it′s on to the next block
It's ODM, I be that player and I'm living the...

Street life
My life, my life, my life, my life
Street life
You can live, you can die, you can stride, you can try
Can′t get enough of the street life
My life, my life, my life, my life
Street life
You can live, die and stride in the street life

Street life
Paper chasing, got to hustle, it′s a struggle
Making major moves in California trying to bubble
Twenty inches spinning, I'm grinning cause I′m winning
And if you didn't know we have it stacked since the beginning
From the east of my town
To the west side of your world
Distributing it through your streets for men, women, boys and girls
Playa-playa like street knowledge and straight game
Keeping it real for the hood, ain′t a damn thing change
Boss balling, top dropping, hot siding
Regulating, penetrating, gang hood riding
Federal, imperial gang, spinning cleanery
I'm the man, I′ll hook you up with that remedy
Everybody's looking for sunshine but rainy days
Seem to hit it us more often in a major way
Bullets flying, playas dying and it's all bad
Street life in the mind of a mad man

Street life
My life, my life, my life, my life
Street life
You can live, you can die, you can stride, you can try
Can′t get enough of the street life
My life, my life, my life, my life
Street life
You can live, die and stride in the street life
Street life
Street life
Street life
Street life
You can live, die and stride in the street life
