Streets Is Cold

Streets is cold move smart or you sleep with the ghosts Every deal got a price every speech is a oath Talk in code never fold keep ya feet on the road One slip now your people gettin' breached at the dope My city don't weep it just eats what it can Kinda funny how a handshake can leak to a jam Silencers whisper money talks in discreet little plans The weak gettin' scanned every scheme need a thief with a hand Look paranoia like a second degree Loyalty get tested when there's cheddar to see I seen brothers turn to Judas when the pressure was deep And seen shooters miss they target when they flexin' for streams One eye on the paper one eye on the law If the heat get close gotta slide through the fog No love in the game only pride 'til you fall Bet your life on the line? Then survive through it all I was taught never talk what you plan to finesse Every word get repeated every gram get assessed New players want a name so they gamble with death But them bodies bring the feds that's a cancerous bet I move different couple steps ahead of the deal Know the signs when a fraud tryna measure ya will All smiles 'til the reaper got a check for the bill Every debt gettin' paid ain't no "settle and chill" I seen caskets close from a lack of control Egos get inflated then collapse in the cold Ain't no honor when the numbers put a tax on ya soul So if you playin' in the fire keep a map to ya home One eye on the paper one eye on the law If the heat get close gotta slide through the fog No love in the game only pride 'til you fall Bet your life on the line? Then survive through it all No remorse no regrets no escape when it's set Every name hold a price every face is a bet If you move how you talk better pace every step 'Cause the streets don't forget only place you a debt
