[Intro: Pluto & Daveed]
Pluto: Yeah I've got a line you know, umm, "I' m home here in Hakea, nigga like the furniture in Ikea"
Daveed: Hahaha, yes yes yes I'm using that shit I'm taking it from you hahaha
Pluto: Take it take it run with it nigga it's a relay
Daveed: Ohh I love that shit, nigga in Hakea but it's furniture like Ikea woo!
Pluto: Hahahaha
[Verse 1]
My nigga in Hakea said it's like Ikea
Talking over the phone gotta be a mind reader
Still outchea in these streets these creatures finna eat ya
Seen the mistakes these niggas make so won't ride with a heater
Just piling on the mileage while I'm cruising with my stylist
Always under the speed limit still smoking weed while I'm driving
Because we barely surviving and nobody relate to the island
That I be on when getting this money while everyone's fucking smiling
Apparently these Street lights illuminate what's wrong from right
Police even moving weight right after they pat down your thighs
I seen this shit with my own eye records of conviction don't lie
Never brought up the stacks of pills mishandled evidence their own crime
And it's lonely in this concrete jungle risk our necks to make a bundle
It's the code remaining humble don't flex the wealth if your skin is colored
I seen these niggas and man they ain't subtle on the verge about to bubble
But they done pulled up into a set-up cousin ego lost fallen to the hustle uh
[Chorus]
But that's just street life
We all chose to be part of it part of it right
But that's just street life
We chose the freezing cold on the block every night
But that's just street life
And we all chose to be part of it right right
But that's just street life
We choosing to risk our lives just to eat just to get what's mine
[Verse 2]
Just went to visit my nigga in prison again
Told me to pick up the pen turn this pain into millions
Topped up his commissary with a little shit to spend
Then it's back to the moolah I gotta stay making these ends
Smell proof bag in the stash box and a couple grand staying rational
Got the plug running 'round with a fucking Glock I mean in this city what you asking for
Blue lights flash once and you down and locked so ain't nothing that you gonna be blasting for
And all you've been saying is fuck the cops now look at you so laughable
That's why I only roll with who I trust now niggas that keep real shit on the low down
'cause I mean some of these niggas stay so loud running off their mouth like it's old style
Going outta fashion I'm like oh wow it's amazing how these rumors float around
Putos like you staying so proud telling a story get your own crown
Got so much weight up on my shoulders this shit feel like moving boulders
That's why I stay never sober marijuana is the odor
Gotta stay a loner cause these snakes will try to own you
Turn you into some prey strip your carcass and burn you burn you
[Chorus]
But that's just street life
We all chose to be part of it part of it right
But that's just street life
We chose the freezing cold on the block every night
But that's just street life
And we all chose to be part of it right right
But that's just street life
We choosing to risk our lives just to eat just to get what's mine
[Outro: Daveed & Pluto]
Daveed: Oh God damn it's just cause ah that's such hidden meaning shit fuck
Pluto: Yeah that's it, very much you know that's it niggas know you in the streets that's, boom
