Lyrics:

Damn, homie.

The streetz are hot right now.

You can feel that temperature

rising.

Itz nothing but that Southeast life!

Don’t get caught up on the wrong streetz

When the sun goez down and the heat goez up

Growing up in the Southeast

Growing up in the Southeast

Don’t get caught up on the wrong streetz

When the sun goez down and the heat goez up

Living life in the Southeast

Middlez up in the Southeast !

(1st VERSE)

Growing up in the Lower East, homie / It ain’t nothing nice

The S.E.L.A.

streetz don’t give a fuck / So tell me, why should I???

I alwayz wear dark colorz but my Nikez are white

I’m keeping light on my feet in the darkest of nightz

Yeah, I survived the ‘90z, homie / That New School, I’ll blast on

In a dark room / Talking to family that passed on

My stackz grown / All these fuckerz stay broke

Me and my money got insomnia, homie / We $tay Woke

When the heat iz up / All these snakez wanna shed skin

And coming back around acting like they ain’t said shit

I inherited enemiez / I ain’t tripping at all

I got my familyz back and I got my back to the wall

Like a handball / If I should ever fall, I’ll bounce back

They’ll never keep me down like cheap liquor in brown bagz

The Walk iz real hood / What you know about that life???

See my kidz doing cartwheelz over these fucken crackpipez !!

(CHORUS / 2nd VERSE)

Don’t get caught up on the wrong streetz

Knocking out the New Schoolz baby teeth

To all the fallen soldierz from my city / Walk in peace

Take a walk with me through the land of greed and sin

Rise and grind / You ain’t never gonna sleep again

I love it when these bitchez hate

I love it when these haterz bitch

I’m looking guilty in these cuffz but really, I ain’t done shit

Cousin Bobby said I had to take hitz to make hitz

Using hynaz trying to set me up / These fuckerz hate this

They wanna murder Sy / D.G.A.F.

Certified

Rapperz ain’t rapping no more / They’re busy selling merchandise

At the swapmeet / Parking their ‘Lac in handicapped zonez

‘Cause I let the gat spark all up in their backbone

I keep my head high / My middle finger higher

Insomnia / Yeah, Chicano Rap iz getting tired

I’m hitting the streets like a tire / I’ll never retire

The tablez are turning / And turning

Until all my haterz expire / And burn in the fire !!!
