Lyrics

0:19Take this for example young brothers want rap
0:21Cause in the life they're living you can't half step
0:24It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun
0:27And if you ain't down you'll get played out son
0:29So let's get a car you know a fly whip
0:31Get a dent pull a screwdriver and be off quick
0:34With a dope ride yeah and a rowdy crew
0:36We can bag us a Benz and an Audi too
0:39Even a jeep or a van god damn we're getting ours yo
0:42Take a trip up the strip and be like stars so
0:44It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping
0:46They can't do jack that's why a young brother's open
0:49To do anything anywhere anyplace
0:52Buckwild in another court case
0:54It's the code of the streets
0:59They might say we're a menace to society
1:01But at the same time I say why is it me
1:03Am I the target for destruction
1:06What about the system and total corruption
1:09I can't work at no fastfood joint
1:11I got some talent so don't you get my point
1:14I'll organize some brothers and get some crazy loot
1:16Selling d r u g s and clocking dollars troop
1:19Cause the phat dough yo that suits me fine
1:21I gotta have it so I can leave behind
1:24The mad poverty never having always needing
1:26If a sucker steps up then I leave him bleeding
1:29I gotta get mine I can't take no shorts
1:31And while I'm selling here's a flash report
1:34Organized crime they get theirs on the down low
1:36Here's the ticket wanna bet on a horse show
1:39You gotta be a pro do what you know
1:41When you're dealing with the code of the streets
1:58Nine times out of ten I win with the skills I be weilding
2:01Got the tec one dealing let me express my feelings
2:04Guru has never been one to play a big shot
2:06It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot
2:09Anf fuck turning my back to the street scene
2:11It gives me energy so Imma keep fiends
2:13Coming just to get what I'm selling
2:15Maybe criminal or felon dropping gems on your melon
2:18So keep abreast to the GangStarr conquest
2:21Underground ruffnecks pounds of respect
2:23I've never been afraid to let loose my speech
2:26My brothers know I kick the code of the streets
Take this for example young brothers want rap
Cause in the life they're living you can't half step
It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun
And if you ain't down you'll get played out son
So let's get a car you know a fly whip
Get a dent pull a screwdriver and be off quick
With a dope ride yeah and a rowdy crew
We can bag us a Benz and an Audi too
Even a jeep or a van god damn we're getting ours yo
Take a trip up the strip and be like stars so
It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping
They can't do jack that's why a young brother's open
To do anything anywhere anyplace
Buckwild in another court case
It's the code of the streets
They might say we're a menace to society
But at the same time I say why is it me
Am I the target for destruction
What about the system and total corruption
I can't work at no fastfood joint

Underground ruffnecks pounds of respect
I've never been afraid to let loose my speech
My brothers know I kick the code of the streets
