I done learned from mistakes like whoās my man
N' Whoās not, like whoās gon run and whoās not
Like whoās gon shoot if you shot
Who gon hold they own, whoās not
Who gon change glocks
[Chorus x2]
In the street of new york you canāt trust nobody
Niggas'll run up on you with a 12 gauge shoty
Loyalty comes free and smokinā weed is my hobby
You wanna rob me you gotta leave here with a body
[Verse 1: Lloyd Banks]
When I was 10 years old I seen a nigga take 3 in the head
Probably around the same time you use to pee in the bed
Iād stay awake cause my nightmares was seeinā him dead
The smell of burnt tires peelin after leavin him lead
The killer fled with a fuckin laugh
My heart pumpin on blast
I just stare at him slumped in the grass
Arms movin, fingers shakin, spittin up blood
DNA mixed in the mud, another ditch to be dug
Their I stood stiffer than wood itās the homie that use to buy me candy
Now heās gone whoās gonna provide his family
My air bring this shit up nā runnin I never thought Iād be that sick
Damn I wasnāt suppose to see that shit
Thatās when I thought, it was more than 3 shots
It could have been the aimin for me, maybe he circled around the block
I turned around and my pops, he like āwhat happened?ā
This nigga rolled up and just started clappinā, I can still hear him laughinā
[Chorus x2]
In the street of new york you canāt trust nobody
Niggas'll run up on you with a 12 gauge shoty
Loyalty comes free and smokinā weed is my hobby
You wanna rob me you gotta leave here with a body
[Verse 2: Lloyd Banks]
It was a regular day in southside, sprinklers nā kids runninā
And all of a sudden heads turninā, somebody did sumthin
This nigga named, I forgot, fuck it he lived around the block
Regular gettingā money nigga but loved to clown a lot
Walk across the park stuntinā and frontinā
Diamonds in his ears, diamond watch on, eatin a bag of popcorn
Walked up behind a shorty and grabbinā her waist
She pushed him away
So he threw the bag in her face
She felt disrespected , shorty couldnāt accept it
Called him a pussy told him sheād be back in a second
But he aināt payin no mind called her a bitch about 4 times
Stayed in the park, with no niggas with him and no nine
And then in no time an older nigga from behind
Swung a baseball bat
Left his face all crack
Told him to take all that
Hit him again popped his chain with a frown
And left the clown with a stain on the ground
[Chorus x2]
In the street of new york you canāt trust nobody
Niggas'll run up on you with a 12 gauge shoty
Loyalty comes free and smokinā weed is my hobby
You wanna rob me you gotta leave here with a body
[Verse 3: Lloyd Banks]
Now all my days go by blowin that sicky icky
California made me picky
Chickenheads tryinā to stick me with a hicky
If we, roll up quickly, stick me, some was tipsy
The location donāt matter Iām southside until they hit me
Iād be dead
If looks can kill, Iām from the ghetto boys
But I donāt know scarface I push will bill, My heart spills
For the kids who aināt got nothing and who got to steal, and from my
Cousin I lost, lookd over the steerin wheel
[Chorus x2]
In the street of new york you canāt trust nobody
Niggas'll run up on you with a 12 gauge shoty
Loyalty comes free and smokinā weed is my hobby
You wanna rob me you gotta leave here with a body
