Yeah 1996
Coolio with the flow
Rated R superstar
LV that`s right
Mossberg Smith & Wesson
Forty five let me tell you how I learned my lesson
House party in the hood at some niggas I don`t know
But I had to go they had a house full of hos
I stepped into that party with my nigga high off that head
The hos is looking good so we try to make a friend for night
Let`s get it right let`s get it straight
But now these punkass niggas in the party want to play a hate
I`d bust a cap to save a rat so what`s up with that
It`s 1996 so these bustas get no kinda of doubt
Like American Express here we go again
I never leave home without it so don`t even think about it
Just let me leave and I won`t have to make you bleed
But if you make an offensive move then I`m gonna have to show a groove
Back up off let`s keep it soft
Don`t make me have to show you who these 16 bosses be
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
Way back in the days we dudes don`t forget a name
Now everybody wants the fame but things change ain`t the same
All these sucker set-trippin killin for no reason
That`s why I never leave the house without my nina
I love my baby carry my baby whereever I go
For these suckers get in a twist they say I beat their pimpin
Stop wishin you was in my shoes
And learn to be yourself stop acting like somebody else
It`s ninety-six and most of the homeys thinking of six feet
The six I found out if you wear partners where the friends go
Every week you don`t see me I gotta put at work
I guess the shit don`t stop till my gaskets drop
Stop hating my life and get your own
Be true to this game or this game will do you cold
Everywhere I go I got my back
I hate to do my all black but I must stay strapped
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
No no oooo I can`t escape this life
I been trying to live in piece but these fools won`t cease
They insist with their bullshit so I got a full clip
Chitty-chitty bang-bang doin it`s a new thing
One shot from a Jake .38 can make your brain ache
I`m the kinda nigga that don`t believe in frontin`
But if you run up on me trippin you best believe I`m dumpin`
I got bills to pay and kids to raise
And a whole generation of lost niggas to save
So I ain`t got time for that yip yap
If you start some static I`m gonna have to blow your mind back
Believe that nigga daisy if you do it`s true
Fuck with Coo you get done that`s how we do it to it
Don`t start no shit and it won`t be none son
But if you do I`m going for my gun
Like Doc Holliday a nigga ain`t scary
So if you want to trip then I`ll be your huckleberry
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really ain`t me no more
These streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
This really really really ain`t me
But the streets won`t let me go
I can`t escape this life
That they got me trapped inside
