STREET LIVIN’ Lyrics » Black Eyed Peas

[Intro]
Streets, streets
Livin’ in the streets
[Verse 1: will.i.am]
Street livin’, caught in the trap
Guns or books, sell crack or rap
Be like kings or be like pawns
They called us coons, now they call us cons
Street niggas be packing pistols
Terrorists be blasting missiles
Crips and Bloods and retail thugs
CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in
Don’t push me ’cause I’m close to hell
The teachers in my neighborhood can hardly spell
And compared to them, prison guards get paid well
Ten years no bail is four years at Yale
So, forget about the statue of General Lee
Because the status of blacks are generally
Gonna end up in some penitentiary
Systematically, that’s how they made it to be
Listen, they derailed the soul train
And put a nightmare in every Martin Luther King
And privatized prisons are owned by the same
Slave masters that owned the slave trade game
And racists no longer have to be racist
‘Cause niggas kill more niggas than the KKK did
Now, every time I hear a new def jam
Niggas killing niggas like they Ku Klux Klan
I understand what’s a nigga to choose?
Be the killer or be the dead dude in the news
I get it, what’s a nigga to do?
No education in the hood got a nigga confused

I was watching documentaries and movies like
Twelve Years a Slave
,
Lincoln
,
The Help
,
Django
and
Straight Outta Compton
. It just hurt my soul to think about our history and then our current state, and how there’s similarities. No matter how much our freedom fighters fought, we’re still in this situation.
