Lyrics
0:00ABC's - K'naan/Chubb Rock
0:16Bundle up my whole style is so cold
0:18I glow like old guys who go bald
0:20My flow got no front in the vocal
0:22Your flow got no button it's so old
0:24I don't mean to sound like a showboat
0:26But it's true my persona's no joke
0:28I stepped into some kinda portal
0:30I'm legend and sometimes I'm noble
0:32I'm from the most risky zone oh
0:33No place is more shifty global
0:36More pistols Russian revolvers
0:38We shootin' all that is normal
0:40But it ain't just because we want to
0:42We ain't got nowhere we can run to
0:44Somebody please press the undo
0:45They only teach us the things that guns do
0:48They don't teach us the ABC's
0:49We play on the hard concrete
0:51All we got is life on the streets
0:53All we got is life on the streets
0:55They don't teach us the ABC's
0:57We play on the hard concrete
0:59All we got is life on the streets
1:01All we got is life on the streets
1:03Rock you know my era
1:05B-boy seasoning salt-n-pepa
1:07Grown and sexy come with the extra
1:09Crushed up linen fly like Cessna
1:11This type brew I gave it birth
1:13Now it's time again to give it a verse
1:15Jamaican born not a fan of the ganja
1:17Boulevard Brooklyn to Somalia
1:19And it goes in the background
1:21Playa that is my sound
1:23The green doesn't symbolize I made it on the top
1:25Pioneer legend and they call me Mr Rock
1:27No B word or N word I don't need those words
1:30Respect for hers
1:31The game dried up so we come with the grease
1:33Leadin' ya right and treatin' ya right so peace
1:35They don't teach us the ABC's
1:37We play on the hard concrete
1:39All we got is life on the streets
1:41All we got is life on the streets
1:43They don't teach us the ABC's
1:45We play on the hard concrete
1:47All we got is life on the streets
1:49All we got is life on the streets
1:51Superman is known by the locals
1:53As this dude who's so fly it's global
1:55Attitude that came outta struggle
1:57Destitute but I make it hopeful
1:59You real but my real is tenfold
2:01My real will make yours a rental
2:03Gangsta if at ease essential
2:05Fight with guns or utensils
2:06So bold nothing's confidential
2:08Breakfast was not continental
2:10And lunch could not compliment all
2:13We still become competent souls
2:15These streets ain't paved with no gold
2:17Matter fact someone stole the light bulb
2:19Nobody fat enough for lypo
2:20They don't teach us to read and write so
2:22They don't teach us the ABC's
2:24We play on the hard concrete
2:26All we got is life on the streets
2:28All we got is life on the streets
2:30They don't teach us the ABC's
2:32We play on the hard concrete
2:34All we got is life on the streets
2:36All we got is life on the streets
