[00:07.71]"These are the streets!
[00:11.44]******t is real out here!
[00:15.32]This ain't no ****** joke!"
[00:16.80]I lived in a spot called Millbrooke Projects
[00:19.49]The original Criminal Minded rap topic
[00:22.11]With twenty cents in my pocket I saw the light
[00:24.66]If you're young gifted and black, you got no rights
[00:27.48]Your only true right, is a right to a fight
[00:30.14]and not a fair fight, I wake up wonderin who died last night
[00:32.93]Everyone and everything is at war
[00:35.70]Makin my poetic expression hardcore
[00:38.30]I ain't afraid to say it, and many can't get with it
[00:40.99]At times in my life, I was a welfare recipient
[00:43.68]I ate the free cheese, while the church said believe
[00:45.93]and went to school everyday, like a god damn fool
[00:49.03]Well anyway, here I am, chillin at the party
[00:51.71]Brothers lookin at me like they wanna kill somebody
[00:54.41]A cypher manifested in the center of the jam
[00:57.08]I got to show these wack rappers really who I am
[00:59.81]It's me against them, so I clear the phlegm
[01:02.38]and wage the war, hardcore to the end
[01:05.17]For someone lookin inside, yeah from the out
[01:07.92]it seems like disrespect is what rap is all about
[01:10.57]But hip-hop as a culture, is really what we give it
[01:13.27]But sometimes the culture contradicts how we live it
[01:15.98]Cause every black kid lives two and three lives
[01:18.66]The city's a jungle, only the strong will survive
[01:21.39]Reality, ain't always the truth
[01:24.04]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
[01:26.81]Reality, ain't always the truth
[01:29.45]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
[01:32.21]Every single day I hear lie after lie
[01:34.74]Like "Black people don't die, we multiply"
[01:37.41]So when I kick a rhyme I represent how I feel
[01:40.19]The sacred street art of keepin it real
[01:42.84]Why I gotta listen, to somebody else?
[01:45.64]How they got wealth, let me talk about myself
[01:48.36]But all I really got is hip-hop and a glock
[01:50.89]The results are obvious, if I'm confined to my block
[01:53.78]Occasionally, in the city I'm released
[01:56.34]to meet other beasts, lookin for the feast
[01:59.13]We grunt and growl, on the prowl, as the air gets thinner
[02:01.07]"Yo yo there he go, him," there's the dinner
[02:04.54]White meat, carryin a bag of some sort
[02:07.28]Life is short, white meat is quickly caught
[02:09.97]A scuffle a muffle yet none of us hesitated
[02:12.62]Like Mother Africa, white meat is violated
[02:15.31]We quickly dissapear, like Santa's little elves
[02:17.92]And go into a area to fight amongst ourselves
[02:20.63]We say, "peace/piece" cause that's what we really want
[02:23.39]A piece of the pie that America flaunts
[02:26.17]Reality, ain't always the truth
[02:28.83]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
[02:31.48]Reality, ain't always the truth
[02:34.13]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
[02:38.97]"Oh ******t!"
[02:42.12]The truth is that police must serve and protect
[02:50.38]REALITY is black youth is shown no respect
[02:53.03]The truth is government has a war against drugs
[02:55.79]REALITY is government is ruled by thugs
[02:58.52]With all this technology, above and under
[03:01.15]Humanity still hunts down one another
[03:03.92]Rappers display artistic cannibalism
[03:06.54]through lyricism, we fight each other over rhythm
[03:09.29]Through basic animal instincts, we think
[03:11.59]So the battle for mental territory is glory, end of story
[03:20.40]Reality, ain't always the truth
[03:22.71]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
[03:25.46]Reality, ain't always the truth
[03:28.18]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth
[03:31.04]Yeah
[03:35.39]"These are the streets!
[03:38.47]******t is real out here!
[03:41.92]This ain't no ****** joke!"
