STREET SMARTS

Time is a pathway
you can go left or right
go back to the past
and rewind your life
you can make changes
and adjust your sights
but one altercation might change
the rest of the fight
i am living in the present 
but my minds in the past
thinking '"what if
''this shit will last"'
and how do i get back
to the life that i had
See no matter what you do
your still a target
if your past didn't fuck you
the future is about to make a deposit
life cant be easy
when we have it this rough
you gotta live with what you got
and start to be tough
no rats are allowed
with a life full of cats
OG's and hustlers
bringing in them stacks
we gotta watch our own
if we want to eat
because nowadays its rough
for a nigga on the streets
