Living like everyone else makes you apart of the picture but choosing to stand out makes you the artist in front of the easel.


I know based on the color of my skin and the city I'm raised society tried predict my destiny
So I  have to be that one in a million to make it out these streets

It's alright it ok categorize me
Destiny this destiny that I'll show you where I'll be

These streets are responsible for the blood of my brothers
These streets are responsible for me being raise by a single mother

It's not the slanging in these streets
It's not the banging in these streets
It's not the grouping up and ganging my brothers in these streets

I strive for education to teach about these streets
I will strive with full force full ambition to reach my family in the streets

I look to unite these streets
Shine a Godly light on the streets
Teach my brothers how education can inspire these streets

Living off these streets ain't hitting it for me

I'm striving for the big cities
Buying my mama big cars
Seeing my brothers fight for the country in places so far

I'm looking to support the love of my life financially
I'm looking to battle every stereotype mentally

I'm looking to be buckled down and loaded on faith
Ready to shoot down every tactic and throw it back in the Devils face

I love my brothers but I won't slaves for these streets
I won't give praise to these streets
I've got too much to live for to be put in my grave for these streets

All I want to do CANNOT BE DONE in these streets
I know people that will give their life for these streets
It just don't sound right for me take my loyalty from God and give to these hypocrites and freaks

I won't bleed for these streets
I won't fall to my knees for these streets

I won't be another good life lost because I made time for these streets
Decide to grind in these streets

I won't hurt for these streets
And
I won't work for these streets
