Take this for example young brothers want rep Cause in the life they're living, you can't half step It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun And if you ain't down, you'll get played out son So let's get a car, you know, a fly whip Get a dent, pull a screwdriver, and be off quick With a dope ride, yeah, and a rowdy crew We can bag us a Benz and an Audi, too Even a jeep or a van, goddamn, we're getting ours, yo Take a trip up the strip, and be like stars so It doesn't matter if the cops be scoping They can't do jack, that's why a young brother's open To do anything, anywhere, anyplace Buckwild in another court case It's the code of the streets They might say we're a menace to society But at the same time I say "Why is it me?" Am I the target, for destruction? What about the system, and total corruption? I can't work at no fast-food joint I got some talent, so don't you get my point? I'll organize some brothers and get some crazy loot Selling D-R-U-G-S and clocking dollars, troop Cause the phat dough, yo, that suits me fine I gotta have it so I can leave behind The mad poverty, never having always needing If a sucker steps up, then I leave him bleeding I gotta get mine, I can't take no shorts And while I'm selling, here's a flash report Organized crime, they get theirs on the down low Here's the ticket, wanna bet on a horse show? You gotta be a pro, do what you know When you're dealing with the code of the streets Nine times out of ten I win, with the skills I be weilding Got the tec one dealing, let me express my feelings Guru has never been one to play a big shot It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot Anf fuck turning my back to the street scene It gives me energy, so Imma keep fiends Coming, just to get what I'm selling Maybe criminal or felon dropping gems on your melon So keep abreast to the GangStarr conquest Underground ruffnecks, pounds of respect I've never been afraid to let loose my speech My brothers know I kick the code of the streets
Guru produced this, it says so on the back of the album cover, yes, Preemo probably put it all together, but there's a big difference between producing and beat making!!!
You are correct. Guru produced it. I remember seeing it at the credits of the Full Clip compilation which a friend of mine had. Additional: Guru originally produced it for some TV show about car theft epidemic prior to becoming a Hard To Earn track.
It just makes me angry, and I’m keeping comments respectful which means I am following RU-vid community guidelines, in my opinion guru is the best rapper of all time and gangstar and the quality of their music is Some of the best that you would run into in the hip-hop industry, but they never get the recognition they deserve. Someone please explain this to me?
Todo lo que veo esta mal Ya no se que es lo que llaman felicidad Si vieran que en esto hay fe y bondad dejarian de criticar de soñar con los 90s Los tiempos no vuelven solo se recuendan Y por mas que hoy sean verdades que muerdan Nunca se traiciona un amigo eso recuerda Solo a los falsos se los deja con un arbol bajo el cuello se ahoga en una cuerda
