[Chorus]
I used to run 'round as a yute
How long will I stay in these streets?
Jakes wanna lock my crew
They don't want us to stay in these streets
They say the way he acts in the booth
Why they want me to stay in these streets
If it don't work, need a new route
But you know you can't stay in these streets
Used to run 'round as a yute
How long will I stay in these streets?
Jakes wanna lock my crew
They don't want us to stay in these streets
They say the way he acts in the booth
Why they want me to stay in these streets
If it don't work, need a new route
But you know you can't stay in these streets

[Verse 1]
Stay in these streets
Do it up for the prof' and the pound
I stay in these streets
So don't go on like I can't be found
So you're onto who?
Must've got it muddled up like how
Mazza, every other day, if it weren't bro
I had it on tops like brows
Just hit up a beat
Just made a little change off rap
Now I'm thinking should I make more in the streets
You can lose it all 'cause of greed
See that crop there? He can lose it all 'cause of me
See that block there? Give a man corn out free
Show my angle when you and I buck
Work, really tryna show man degrees
Stay in these streets
I know that they're saying it's peak
Know that the jakes don't want me staying free
Got my family still praying for peace
Streets get real, been playing for keeps
My G's in the T still weighing up B
Ain't getting sleep when you're chasing dreams
Works get mashed, streets blaming the team

[Chorus]
I used to run 'round as a yute
How long will I stay in these streets?
Jakes wanna lock my crew
They don't want us to stay in these streets
They say the way he acts in the booth
Why they want me to stay in these streets
If it don't work, need a new route
But you know you can't stay in these streets
Used to run 'round as a yute
How long will I stay in these streets?
Jakes wanna lock my crew
They don't want us to stay in these streets
They say the way he acts in the booth
Why they want me to stay in these streets
If it don't work, need a new route
But you know you can't stay in these streets

[Verse 2]
Stay in these streets
While I'm here I'ma get things done
Got man up in jail and man on the run
He'd probably get bail but don't want it chance
As a man I've took L's but never lost heart
Any guy you gotta tell to hop out the car
Two sticks like twelve, we ain't having a bar
Know the CIDs want me confined
Know we going on rides, they know it's on sight
They just know it online
Bro makes it mixing a pot
Give to a cat to give it a try
He makes drinks off the rocks
You ain't gotta put this one on ice
Took bro off the strip
Got locked, it ain't nuttin', he's just putting on size
Easy on the wing but I tell him don't slip
'Nuff man's been spun, they be putting on times
I done did both, life's better outside
Bro said stay in the streets and rap
Told me you won't get better advice

[Chorus]
I used to run 'round as a yute
How long will I stay in these streets?
Jakes wanna lock my crew
They don't want us to stay in these streets
They say the way he acts in the booth
Why they want me to stay in these streets
If it don't work, need a new route
But you know you can't stay in these streets
Used to run 'round as a yute
How long will I stay in these streets?
Jakes wanna lock my crew
They don't want us to stay in these streets
They say the way he acts in the booth
Why they want me to stay in these streets
If it don't work, need a new route
But you know you can't stay in these streets
