Street Glory

Lyrics

[Intro: Pop] Uhh, still out in these motherfuckin' projects Seems like a nigga ain't never gonna get the fuck up outta here Niggas just don't understand the story [Chorus: Blitz/Pop] Niggas die (Yeah) for the street glory Go to trial get tried for each story And each nigga got a story (Uh) And QB the streets call me (Call me) So if you see me slippin' reach for me (Yeah) I'm goin' after street glory Niggas die for the street glory Go to trial get tried for each story And each nigga got a story And QB the streets call me (Call me) So if you see me slippin' reach for me I'm goin' after street glory [Verse 1: Nas] Yo, every time I turn around niggas shot, niggas stabbed When tonight's pregnant girls struggling to get a cab Fiends lurkin', D's searchin', pat pockets Kids put to bed duck they heads from gats poppin' Queensbridge slingers hoppin' out Benzes, Don status Dope fiends got syringes, poppin' out their arm scratching I remember park jams, gazelles, perfect wave, shell Adidas Smellin' reefer way before purple haze Private stock peer nigga with ill walks like Mark Clare Hats tilted wild niggas lickin' shots in the air Me and Pop was there, through the years our names have switched Ain't nothin' changed but the names Nastradamus and Blitz What project is this? QB, Vernon and 10th 12th street murderous pimps, hot as hell's heat What could you tell me? Nigga's seen it all in this game When it's all said and done, just remember my name [Verse 2: Blitz/Pop] I'm familiar with the dead grass drama black gates and crime Embryo of the ghetto born, facin' time Niggas shatter they dreams, while I'm chasing mine Ghetto fame got a fellow's name draped and shined How do I describe an atmosphere where streets are polluted? Where corrupt cops and new police being recruited Somehow I make it through the day stayin' secluded While the blues aim leavin' another slain, executed Many close calls I see the past grimmly, that could've been me Sprawled out on 41st and 10th street Through all the pap grease and street chases Sudden raids and confrontations leadin' the misdeamenor weed cases I blew smoke through hallway windows, watched the buddah clouds linger Pluckin' the blunt roach from my fingers My eyes flip different shades Similar to people you meet everyday who be displayin' wicked ways Seein' nothing but another day in this six story rat trap Them gats clap, another nigga's blazed Events in my hood rotate Like the barrel on the .38 Snub in the world of fake love Before I blaze son, I'm kissing the slugs, coming at you Kisses and hugs, when death calls who's really a thug The street glory got me deeply in love Can't shake it, can't take it, can't make it, got me needin' this drug [Chorus: Pop] Niggas die for the street glory Go to trial get tried for each story And each nigga got a story And QB the streets call me So if you see me slippin' reach for me I'm goin' after street glory Niggas die for the street glory Go to trial get tried for each story And each nigga got a story And QB the streets call me So if you see me slippin' reach for me I'm goin' after street glory (Street glory— street glory—)
