From the recording These Street
Lyrics
Yeah
Verse 1
Mama tell me,
"Watch who you trust,"
Some people only come when the pocket full.
When the rain start fall, dem disappear,
Leave you standing by yourself with the fear.
Mi see brothers switch for a little fame,
Sell out loyalty just to build a name.
Life teach lessons every single day,
So mi keep moving, never lose mi way.
Pre-Chorus
Eyes open, heart strong,
Can't let the pressure make me do wrong.
Every step, every move, !!
Jah guide me through.!!
Chorus
The street don't love you,
Don't let it fool you.
Today dem cheer,
Tomorrow dem never know you.
The street don't love you,
Stand firm, stay true.
Build your life,
Don't make the streets build you.
Verse 2
Nuff man chase hype and lose dem soul, Running after things that never make dem whole.
Real success
never happen overnight,
Keep working hard till the future bright.
Family first, that's the code I keep,
Dream too big fi stay asleep.
Every storm make the story real,
Every setback give me iron will.
Bridge
No matter where the road may bend,
Character stay with you till the end.
Money come, money go,
But your name is what the people know.
Final Chorus
The street don't love you,
Never forget the truth.
Walk with purpose,
Don't let nothing capture you.
The street don't love you,
Jah know what you're going through.
Keep your head high,
Your blessings are waiting for you.
Outro
The street don't love you... So love yourself... Stay focused... Stay real...
