My Street Blues lyrics - Krayzie Bone (feat. Bone Thugs)

 [Intro, news interview with elderly lady]

Yeah, she has a gun and I went and got her a gun permit!

Now they didn't have to shoot that old lady down like a dog...

They didn't have to do that! It's one old woman in that house!

I got burglar bars there to try to protect her...

I got mercury lights out there to keep it BRIGHT and LIGHT!

I'M AS MAD AS HELL! AND SOMEBODY'S GON ANSWER TO THAT!


[News reporter]

Police are defending the shooting death of a ninety-two year old woman

Happened as plain clothes officers burst into her home last night-

-to server a search warrant for drugs

Police say they made an undercover drug-buy at the house earlier in the day

The womans' niece said, "there were never drugs in the house, and her aunt-

-lived alone and probably just panicked"

The family's furious


[Hook - Bizzy Bone]

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more


[Verse 1 - Krayzie Bone]

Chillin' on my mama's front porch, I'm watchin

Sittin here reminiscin' on how hot the block is

From right here, I can truly see how crooked the cops is

My vision gettin blurry as I look at my options

I could; just let 'em drop me, or I could cock it and pop it

The way they murdered Oscar was preposterous nonsense

They talkin with they Glocks, conversation is violence

And they wonder why society is criminal minded

They never gon' change, come around my way

Another one shot down; slain, while the cop got praised

It's hard to maintain, when they supposed to protect us

You or me could be the next one; bleeding injustice


[Hook - Bizzy Bone]

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

[Krayzie Bone]

Even though the world shows no affection

You gotta keep it movin, got to keep on steppin'

The Man upstairs is our only protection

It's very necessary, He remember this is temporary


[Verse 2 - Wish Bone]

Time's gettin all bad, but it was good up in yo neck of the woods

Everybody tend to they own hustle, got much respect; that's all good

Turn on the news, it's no surprise to see; Police brutality

And worse they out here gunnin us down in the street

Good use of authority ain't even in

Rather, the vast majority of them's to damn incompetent

When is enough gon' be enough, I ask?

I know we all tryin'a live life free from all the madness

It's sad enough you gotta watch how they get jacked

But the worst one's the criminal that's hiding behind the badge

You try to call up the baby, a waste of time to call 'em

Cause the only thing they bringin is mo' problems, so why bother?


[Hook - Bizzy Bone]

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

[Krayzie Bone]

Even though the world shows no affection

You gotta keep it movin, got to keep on steppin'

The Man upstairs is our only protection

It's very necessary, He remember this is temporary


[Verse 3 - Bizzy Bone]

The Biblical, lick but literal little old me, I kicks the cynical

It's beautiful livin the minimal, generals and don't go to sleep until ten o'clock

I'm more alive, please try to fight evil

Me and my people, my people and me; I'm still single

And even though I look meager; I'm eager to make some money

My partners smoke in the direction; My protection from dummies

Hold your head like, bass; got my head gettin stuck

Cause I acted a fool, got sued, slip and slide, what


[Hook - Bizzy Bone]

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

[Krayzie Bone]

Even though the world shows no affection

You gotta keep it movin, got to keep on steppin'

The Man upstairs is our only protection

It's very necessary, He remember this is temporary


[Verse 4 - Layzie Bone]

Lookin around here and I see the inner city, it makes my heart hurt

Feelin the struggles of my brothers, it takes some hard work

Bein raise by single mothers, the case was caught first

They got daddy in the pen, gotta face the laws worst

No got us, we down, we barely surviving, and knowledge is there

They ain't providing, they starvin us out to keep us divided; so they can get money and hide it

Operation Silence; the government got some secrets they ain't tellin

Cause if they let you know, they can't convict you felon

But they ain't slippin, let the Thugs know the deal

We comin back to save the ghetto, let the truth be revealed

If we all get on a level, and example some skills

We can all get out of debt, and we can pay off these bills

And just chill


[Hook - Bizzy Bone]

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

It's so many ways to die (Oh, no)

It's so many ways to fly (Steady as we roll)

It's so many ways to rise (High-high-high)

Cause life can't pass us by, no more

[Krayzie Bone]

Even though the world shows no affection

You gotta keep it movin, got to keep on steppin'

The Man upstairs is our only protection

It's very necessary, He remember this is temporary (Temporary-Temporary)
