This track was released on Yella’s album “One Mo Nigga Ta Go” and features Dresta as the main rapper and Michel'le as background vocalist. It’s about life and attitude of a gangsta on the streets and about his thoughts to leave them.
Dresta is the brother of B.G. Knocc Out (they have the same moth...
[Dresta]
Gangsta!
[Verse 1: Dresta]
A life time, a bad luck; it's sad but the nigga stayed strong
Pray everyday that my life goes on
Cause the streets ain't giving a black man shit
So my attitude is: you can suck a fat man's dick
Tricks in my face for my snaps, cause I'm rapping
I puts them in their place when I pulls up my strap and slap 'em
Backwards with the theory of my anger
Nigga's so crazy on the daily, talking strangers
Want to hit the stick, I'm scared of the Bombay
Andre, never was a dope fiend anyway
I'd rather lay back in the cut, be corrupt, and fuck shit up
Because I'm stuck in the streets
[Hook: Michel'le]
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(Just won't let me go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
(Got to find somewhere)
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(Let me go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
[Verse 2: Dresta]
Damn, it's a shame, I blame myself for my bad luck
A young buck nigga growing up, gave a mad fuck
I wanted to have night shit in papers
Give hoes the vapors and live in skyscrapers
But I guess I tried to move too fast
So the lord had to stop my black ass with a blast (*Gun Shot*)
One shot to my back, making small tracks
Think of my life where am I trying not to fall flat
As I swell, people yell, damn he hit Dre
My nigga Dale rushed me to M-L-K
Blanking out, but still thinking about survival
When a nigga didn't even have my post on the rival
I tell my mamma, yeah, I love you, born to hug you, not dug you
Being able to death from the cradle
[Hook: Michel'le]
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(I got to go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
(I want to find somewhere)
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(Won't let me go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
(Find somewhere to go)
I'm certain... I'm certain baby
[Verse 3: Dresta]
Now as I lay half dead I cried
And wonder why I'mma gonna die
Well, how hard I tried to change and rearrange my plans to be a man
Divided we fall, united we stand
But the lord helped the nigga through this mess
Even though, I still got a 9 slug in my chest
But still the nigga can walk down Kimp
Even though my arm trims and I walk with a limb
But I'm blessed to be alive and well
Doing swell, not in jail and damn sure not in hot hell
So next time you're coming down my row
If it sounds to flow, I'll be prepare to go, so y'all
[Hook: Michel'le]
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(Just won't let me go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
(I got to find somewhere)
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(I keep on searching)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
(Oh yeah)
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(Streets won't let me go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
It's seems the streets, they just won't let me go
(Just won't let me go)
Sometimes I wish I find some where to go
(Oh yeah)
[Outro: Michel'le]
I got to do some way
I got to get away
I got to go some way
I got to get away
I got to go, I got to go, I got to go
Hey, hey, yeah
Cause I'm searching
I'm searching
Searching
Got to find a way, yeah
I'm searching
