Through These Streets

Lyrics

[Intro] This is a song about doing more than just holding on [Chorus] Through these streets, all the conscious people We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on Through these beats, I will conquer evil We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong [Verse 1] Something about this music and the way that we produce it Something you ain't used to What could I do to make them beaucoup bucks? What would I do but stay true to this stuff? Be the most-wanted with out letting them claim you in the cuffs It's three hots and a cop, better than what you already got No, you want to better your life, feeling the most Willin' the most, death row As the death toll rise and the ghetto eyes, the weary Dark skies show no signs of clearing How could a nigga ease his pain, working at Micky D's? Gain minimum wage with maximum need, it's struggle indeed When there's mouth's to feed, no diploma or degree That qualify you to own the facilities Some of y'all just maintained Hopping on and off the money train But hold your own and pull your weight And keeping running things [Chorus] Through these streets, all the conscious people We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on Through these beats, I will conquer evil We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong Through these streets, all the conscious people We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on Through these beats, I will conquer evil We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong [Verse 2] In this game, you can't go wrong if you think with instinct A chain is only as strong as its weakest link Don't be that rotten apple that got in a battle with a bunch He did his dance, shit his pants, lost his lunch No floss to front, two things is so unnecessary And that big head of yours Gives a perfect aim to your adversaries (plow) Over these beats, I channel feeling through vocabulary I rode through the streets, like it or not, embarrassed Words powers and parries, the ability to uplift a military You'll really see the mystery of the libraries Eyes very open, wise, very old We learned from the elders one should never sell his soul Rather keep a strong hold, firm grip control if you get blowed Knowing to lay back and pay back all money owed [Chorus] Through these streets, all the conscious people We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on Through these beats, I will conquer evil We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong Through these streets, all the conscious people We will take a stand, and do more than just hold on Through these beats, I will conquer evil We will stake the land, with a cypher that's so strong [Outro] Mass media From a south-central [?] This here is as deep as the shi-zay gi-zay (Hold on) Straight from the point of origin
