Keep It In the Streets Yella Beezy

[Intro]
Like we can hmm...
We can go back and forth with this shit, you know?
You know, just, just don't run to the law
Don't run to no police, don't get no man involved, know what I'm sayin?
Lot of niggas be talkin' that gang shit, be talkin 'bout what they gon' do, what they about
Soon as somethin' happenin', you know what I'm sayin'?
They runnin' and tellin', you know?
Just keep it all the way straight
Keep it in the streets, you know what I'm sayin?

[Refrain]
We live in a cold world, I be in my own world
Young nigga stay two steps ahead and keep that chrome, girl
There killers that roam here, so keep that chrome there
Eat or get ate, said guard your plate or get gon 'round here
Gotta be stronger, through greed and hunger
Said keep a strap and watch your back and you'll live longer
Smoke you like a stoner, you came around here
The youngins got the hood hotter than a sauna

[Chorus]
I'll get shit whacked if you can talk shit back
Nigga, keep it in the streets
I fire my strap and you can fire your strap
But nigga, keep it in the streets
Them folks attack and we don't say shit back
We don't talk to the police
We lay you flat then try to run it back
Nigga keep it in the streets
