Lyrics to “Streets” Wande Coal ft T-Pain
[Intro]
Instrumental
Instrumental
Oh oh oh, yeah ah ah
It’s Kel P vibes
[Verse 1: T-Pain]
Back in the day, I was a menace
Finished all in one bite
Hitting licks in the city
Finished all in one night (So nice)
But loose ends get tied quickest (Quick)
I’m too tight, I do right
In five minutes, I’m leaving with five bitches
I admit it, uh
I’ve been in a war
Old soul, they saying I’m too cold
Cryogenics, uh
Leave me in a hole
I got beef and I’m bringing the rhymes with it
I get it by any means necessary if it’s too scary (uh)
You know the streets get away from you if you let it (uh)
Your best friend ain’t turned up, it’s two-headed (uh)
And won’t nothing beat that unless you dead it
Ah, don’t sweat it
I’ll never forget it
N#gga will gas you up, and they only pumping unleaded
You can’t even live your life, it’s on a lease
And, trust me, I know the streets
[Chorus: Wande Coal]
I just want make dem know say I be streets [I just want them to know that I am of the ‘Streets”]
Eh, if you no like me, I go defeat. [If you don’t like me, I will still defeat.]
As a street boy on my own
Street boy on my own
[Verse 2: Wande Coal]
Eh eh, ogbologbo, emi ni baba won [I am the original or experienced person; I am their father.]
Eyin bawo? [Them? How?]
Kilode kilode ta ba won, ah ah ah [What happened that we caught up with them?]
Ladugbo mi emi ni baba won, eh eh eh [Im my area, I am their father or boss.]
Kilode to o wa le kapa won? [What happened that you are unable to handle them?]
But I never talk truth [But, I have not spoken the truth.]
Dem com carry talk [They are now talking]
Na dem come carry do [They are the ones acting.]
Anything I do, dem dey do [Anythin I do, they would do.]
Dem be Zule Zoo [They are Zule Zoo.]
Photocopy dem do, eh [They are imitating.]
Awon kan ro pe won le mu [They thought they could catch up with him.]
Won le le le le le, won ba won le mu [They pursued but didn’t catch up with him.]
But I never talk truth [But, I have not spoken the truth.]
Dem be Zule Zoo [They are Zule Zoo.]
Photocopy dem do, eh [They are imitating.]
[Chorus: Wande Coal]
I just want make dem know say I be streets [I just want them to know I am of the “Streets”
I just want make dem know say I be streets [I just want them to know I am of the “Streets”
Eh, if dem no like me, I go defeat [If they don’t like me, I would defeat.]
As a street boy on my own
[Outro: Wande Coal]
So many years ago
I learn am from Gwagwalada [I learned it from Gwagwalada.]
No money, no palava [No money, no problem.]
I —-, no wahala
Agbani Darego
She cover face like Lagbaja
Mo la ti so fun dapada [I had to say “Return it.”]
O sha ti mo pe mo ja ja [Now he/she knows I am smart.]
