raised by the streets - b!g moose lyrics
[intro: big moose]
that’s why i am who i am
[hook: big moose]
they don’t understand
i was raised by the streets
that’s why i am who i am x2
i was raised by the streets (ya!)
raised by the streets
i was raised by the streets x4
[verse 1: big moose]
i was raised up on 5th
where i seen them move clips
wanted part with that sh-t
so i copped me a clip
started selling some krills
trynna stack me a grip
it was trap or play sports
but i trapped to play sports
couldn’t stay on that porch
cuz i was skinny and short
so i had to make noise
boy i had to make noise
now i’m hot as a torch
came up fast as a porsche
never take a short
cuz boy i’m from newark
where it’s go hard or go home
so i go hard as a stone
if a n-gg- teased you
it was no leave me alone
it was fight or go home
and i’d never go home
i would fight and stay on
boy i’d fight and stay on
it’s the garden state
but in this garden there’s snakes
that will smile in your face
and they will ask you for change
but when you ask them for sh-t
ain’t no sign or no trace
now that’s what i call fake
but that’s the way i was raised
so i cannot complain
now that’s what i call fake
but that’s the way i was raised
so i cannot complain
[bridge: big moose]
i’m a street made n-gg- x4
[hook: big moose]
they don’t understand
i was raised by the streets
that’s why i am who i am x2
i was raised by the streets (ya!)
raised by the streets
i was raised by the streets x4
[verse 2: big moose]
payday
was the day
that we hit licks
in 8th grade i dreamed of aks and having six bricks
that was the way to get rich
with the options i had
cuz i wasn’t no teacher’s pet
or the brightest in cl-ss
but i was
einstein in the streets
sellin’ weed at 13, flippin’ week after week
plug was the man, coppin’ g after g
the motivation on my mind was that jeep cherokee
started with a eighth, then a quarter, then a half
but then i had quarters on quarters in the stash
when n-gg-s came up short it made me borderline mad
but i said f-ck feelings, what’s important is the cash
if i don’t sell it to him, they gon go somewhere else
i’d rather have that money than somebody else
but if he keep coming short, he gon pay all his debt
you gon find him on the steps, screaming “somebody help”
if i don’t sell it to him, they gon go somewhere else
i’d rather have that money than somebody else
but if he keep coming short, he gon pay all his debt
you gon find him on the steps, screaming “somebody help”
[bridge: big moose]
i’m a street made n-gg- x4
[hook: big moose]
they don’t understand
i was raised by the streets
that’s why i am who i am x2
i was raised by the streets (ya!)
raised by the streets
i was raised by the streets x4
[outro: big moose]
it’s big moose and i be the truth like i’m dr. phil
and all of my homies in the dirt, like a soccer field
my team up by one hundred, but i’m jocking still
cuz it’s only right to show no remorse with rappers with waka sk!lls
i’m a beast with no tolerance for beef
i’m something like a stray dog
cuz i was raised by the streets
one parent
barely home
she working hard for us to eat so
i just hit the streets to make it easier to eat
when you see a lot of street it ain’t no
easy way to sleep
gun shots, sirens, it ain’t no
easy way to sleep
dead friends, nightmares, it ain’t no
easy way to sleep
so i sleep with my heat to make it
easier to sleep
i’m still
sh-ll-shocked
by the sound of a sh-ll drop
when sh-lls pop a frail top open up like a mailbox, boy h-ll’s hot
but it ain’t hotter than a summer in newark
cuz bullets’ hotter than a sauna in newark
i promise ya boy
a year here will change ya life for life
ya homies will take ya life if the price is right
i was raised around k!llers and thugs, and stealers and drugs
and dealers that be k!llin’ the plug, the streets show no love
man the streets show no love, n-gg-
woo!
