Stay on the streets
All these motherfuckers getting locked up for bullshit
Wasting all their time in and out
Stay on the streets
Ain't no profits in the pen homeboys
Fuck the motherfucking system and shit
Stay on the streets
Only motherfuckers making feria is the government
You're just another fucking number
Stay on the streets
Just a word of advice
Stay on the streets
Take it for what this shit is worth
Everybody knows my fucking name
Running with a gang
Slanging caine
Homie going insane
Yelling out tiny winos as I bust on my rivals
Gangbanging's just a part of California survival
Once in a while, you're bound to get caught up in some shit
It's all good if you stick to the rules
And don't snitch
Jura's trying to make a deal
Fuck them punks, never squeal
Take the heat like a man homie, keeping it real
Shackled up on my way to the judge to get sentenced
In my criminal mind, there's no such thing as repentance
In the dorms and cells, where all the thugs rebel
Where names turn into numbers and
There ain't no way in hell to get out
It's like a trap and it just won't quit
To think of all the money that they make off us makes me sick
It's a fucked up game
When I was locked down everyday
I was staring at the walls and I could hear them voices say
Stay on the streets
Ain't no profits going to prison
Stay out, make a living
Make a future for my family and chill
Stay on the streets
Fuck being locked up
I'd rather be hustling on these streets
While watching my funds stock up
Stay on the streets
Trying to live life the right way
Everyday what can I say, it's a fucked up game
Stay on the streets
Police pull you over to harass you
When you get locked up it makes the system more cash
Hello
What's up dog, I'm about to get released next week
Ain't gonna fuck up no more
Keep my nose clean, keep my head straight dog
I'll pick you up then homie
Now I'm released out running the streets, ducking police
I'm either gonna be locked up or end up deceased
I gotta change my ways
I've been a fuck up for days
And easy money comes fast cause on the real crime pays
And I don't wanna do it, but now I'm stuck on probation
I can't smoke weed no more cause I'm in fear of violation
But fuck it, spark it up
I'm used to breaking rules
They want me in by a certain time but fuck a curfew
Violating everyday
And never going to school
Posted up at my pad with my homies drinking brew
And ooh, guess who just kicked in my fucking door
My P.O. and some juras and I heard once more
Stay on the streets
Ain't no profits going to prison
Stay out, make a living
Make a future for my family and chill
Stay on the streets
Fuck being locked up
I'd rather be hustling on these streets
While watching my funds stock up
Stay on the streets
Trying to live life the right way
Everyday what can I say, it's a fucked up game
Stay on the streets
Police pull you over to harass you
When you get locked up it makes the system more cash
From Corky to Chuckwalla, Ironwood and Delano
Folsom, San Quentin, all the way back down to Chino County
Jails, Y.A., Fire Camp, Juvenile Hall
About a million motherfuckers locked up behind the walls
You need to get out when you have a chance
Make a difference fast
Get a job or get your hustle on
Make your damn cash
Break the cycle, fuck the system
No more profits off mistakes
Get off probation or parole and do whatever it takes
For many years they've been building more jails
And filling cells
And their fucking bank accounts
Are the things that prevail
There ain't no profits being made when you're locked up in a cage
The only bastards that benefit are the judges and D.A.'s
And the government, it's all part of a scandalous ass cycle
Plotted out to a perfection but it's going out of style
Just a word of advice
Think twice and come up quick
There's enough to go around in this world
Not just a little bit
Stay on the streets
Ain't no profits going to prison
Stay out, make a living
Make a future for my family and chill
Stay on the streets
Fuck being locked up
I'd rather be hustling on these streets
While watching my funds stock up
Stay on the streets
Trying to live life the right way
Everyday what can I say, it's a fucked up game
Stay on the streets
Police pull you over to harass you
When you get locked up it makes the system more cash
Three more California prison inmates have been killed in gang violence
Bringing the tally of fatalities this week to eleven
Stay on the streets
Ain't no profits going to prison
Stay out, make a living
Make a future for my family and chill
Stay on the streets
Fuck being locked up
I'd rather be hustling on these streets
While watching my funds stock up
Stay on the streets
Trying to live life the right way
Everyday what can I say, it's a fucked up game
Stay on the streets
Police pull you over to harass you
When you get locked up it makes the system more cash
