Brownside - Life on the Streets Lyrics    It's an everyday thing on the east of town   Times ain't good, but they won't hold me down   I'm out to get mine and won't get left back   I can't get me a job, but I can get a dope sack   In my hood everyday, gettin off my slangs   I'm not really trippin off money, cuz I'd rather gang bang   And kick back with my homeboys who are down for me   From the evil side representing one-three   And the ways in my neighborhood ain't nothin nice   You gotta be down or else your payin the price   Cuz for me to do good others must do bad   What makes me happy might make you sad   I need to straight come up so I can earn my way out   Broke motherf**kers don't carry no clout   The hood that I'm from is where I proved my name   And the streets where I live is where I got my fame      [Chorus]   Don't push me cuz I'm losing my head   The way I live I might end up dead      I can't ever forget the crazy things that I've done   A young gang-banger livin life by a gun   Doin down ass things to make you learn quick   The kind of crazy things that make people sick   Some might not agree, but I have to survive   And by me doing wrong is gonna keep me alive   So I try everyday to learn the tricks of the trade   Savin up my money cuz I don't get paid      I know I do bad but I do it real good   Cuz that's the way I learned in my crazy ass hood   Growin up in the streets of SB and LA   Where a youngster couldn't even hang around and play   Drive bys, drug deals, bases everywhere   Crack babies being born and their moms don't even care   Don't think for a minute that this shit ain't real   Cuz life on the streets might get you killed      [Chorus x2]      Times are bad and everything is hard   Got no money, don't own no car   With some old ass clothes, no food to eat   And some burnt out Nikes coverin up my feet   You get your first impression by the way I look   He's a gangster, a killer, and a no good crook   Just cuz I'm broke don't mean I'm a punk   Lemme explain myself in five minutes of funk   Everything I've done that has been wrong   I just kick back and write it here in my song   Cuz life on the streets is rough as f**k   Vatos tryin to hit licks so they can come up real tough    Rapping is my hustle, alls I need is a beat   So I can tell my little story about life on the street   And I'ma do what it takes, so I can survive   This is mad ass Danger from the Brownside      [Chorus x2]
