[Intro: Black Thought]
Ugh, uh-huh
Ugh, uh-huh

[Hook: Dice Raw & Black Thought]
Out on the streets (Yeah)
Where I grew up (Uh-huh, ugh)
First thing they teach you
Is not to give a fuck (Yeah, c'mon, man)
That type of thinking can't get you nowhere (Ugh, oh)
Someone has to care (Uh)
How I got over

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
Where the people come apart
Don't nobody care about you, only thing you got is God
Out here in these streets, if you get down on your luck
You can stand out with a hand out, but nobody give a fuck
Out here in these streets, every man is for himself
They ain't helping no one else, it's a hazard to your health
Living life in these cold streets
Hey—who's worrying 'bout you, babe?
When you wilding out? Running around in these streets?

[Hook: Dice Raw & Black Thought]
Out on the streets, where I grew up
How I got over
First thing they teach you is not to give a fuck
How I got o
That type of thinking can't get you nowhere
How I got over
Someone has to care (Yo)
