Like They Say They Do

I used to pray God almost everyday Then I had to jugg and rob almost every week Then I had to find a job, the honest way Working nine to five, all for minimum wage So I went back to the streets to find a newer way I got a lot of pain in my heart, yeah it aches I got a lot of love for the niggas and bitches that hate I got a family that I tend to appreciate Cause no matter when I'm down yeah they got my back And when I'm in trouble they ask "yo, where you at?" I'm tryna make it big and change my home address I'm tryna do for my family what I know is best I'm so tired of always having to protect my chest I'm so tired man I can't even rest Life shouldn't even be like this It's really shouldn't even be like dis But just so you know The streets don't love you like they say they do And your friends don't love you like they say do I know they say they do The streets don't love you like they say they do And your friends don't love you like they say do I know they say they do I thank my deadbeat where I'm at today If it wasn't for him leaving then whose to say He set an example of what I should never be If he was there growing up that could've changed everything But that's okay I know a bitch when I see one When I have my kids I will never leave them Because that's what a man does he stays by their side When he does them wrong, he'll apologize So imma make a promise to my daughter or son I'll always protect you when that time comes Cause I love you kid So remember this The streets don't love you like they say they do And your friends don't love you like they say do I know they say they do The streets don't love you like they say they do And your friends don't love you like they say do I know they say they do So remember this... The streets don't love you like they say they do And your friends don't love you like they say do I know they say they do The streets don't love you like they say they do And your friends don't love you like they say do I know they say they do So remember this
