Street Wars (Explicit Album Version)

Street Wars - Cypress Hill

As a kid I was known son of a thug

Snub-nosed 38 in the glove who can relate with us

Never had an easy life sh*t's way out

Clips spray out fools pay out or play out

Any scenario been there done that

Gone where some of y'all niggaz couldn't come back

Been through the hottest parts of hell

Came back with a hard shell and hard as nails

I went through it all do it all screw it all

Small you recall the hard times as a juve-nile

Often misunderstood

Some joined the military others just joined the hood

Street corner combat part of the dark streets

Your heart beats pump when my slugs release

And there ain't no tellin don't be the one yellin

These birds are deadly they can shatter your melon

When the street wars jump off

There's only one thing to do

Grab your gat and squeeze one off

This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off

You got one shot to get you a knot

When the street wars jump off

There's only one thing to do

Grab your gat and squeeze one off

This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off

You got one shot to get you a knot

At the crossroads sick of holdin the badlands

Where street wars kick off quicker than Van Dam

Mistakes of mad man I remember the old ways

The old days where fools clapped yo'

No quarter you feel me

Life expectancy's just a little bit shorter

G's gave the order you carried 'em out

Quick fast you the last ni**a I'm worried about

Get that street lead that was one step over the edge

Much closer to death every step I kept on

Learnin about the dark paths made a hard left

Prayed to God death is swift and painless

This life ain't for everyone stay out my shoes

You can't trade your fate I hate to break the news

The young won't respect the fences these days

You a marked man if you get caught up in these ways

When the street wars jump off

There's only one thing to do

Grab your gat and squeeze one off

This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off

You got one shot to get you a knot

When the street wars jump off

There's only one thing to do

Grab your gat and squeeze one off

This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off

You got one shot to get you a knot

When the street wars jump off

There's only one thing to do

Grab your gat and squeeze one off

This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off

You got one shot to get you a knot

When the street wars jump off

There's only one thing to do

Grab your gat and squeeze one off

This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off

You got one shot to get you a knot
