Street Wars - Explicit Album Version

(church bells gong)
 (Verse One: B-Real)
 As a kid, I was known, son of a thug
 Snub-nosed .38 in the glove, who can relate with us?
 Never had an easy life, shit's way out
 Clips spray out, fools pay out or play out
 Any scenario, been there, done that
 Gone where some of y'all niggaz, couldn't come back
 Been through the hottest parts of hell
 Came back with a hard shell and, hard as nails
 I went through it all, do it all, screw it all
 Small you recall, the hard times as a juve-nile
 Often misunderstood
 Some joined the military, others just joined the hood
 Street corner combat, part of the dark streets
 Your heart beats pump when my slugs release
 And there ain't no tellin, don't be the one yellin
 These birds are deadly, they can shatter your melon
 (Chorus 2X: B-Real)
 When the street wars jump off, there's only one thing to do
 Grab your gat and squeeze one off
 This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off
 You got one shot to get you a knot
 (Verse Two: B-Real)
 At the crossroads, sick of holdin the badlands
 Where street wars, kick off quicker than Van Dam
 Mistakes of mad man, I remember the old ways
 The old days where fools clapped yo' {?}
 No quarter, you feel me?
 Life expectancy's just a little bit shorter
 G's gave the order, you carried 'em out
 Quick fast, you the last nigga I'm worried about
 Get that street lead, that was one step over the edge
 Much closer to death, every step I kept on
 Learnin about the dark paths, made a hard left
 Prayed to God death is swift and painless
 This life ain't for everyone, stay out my shoes
 You can't trade your fate, I hate to break the news
 The young won't respect the fences these days
 You a marked man if you get caught up in these ways
 (Chorus)
 When the street wars jump off, there's only one thing to do
 Grab your gat and squeeze one off
 This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off
 You got one shot to get you a knot
 (pause for spooky instrumental)
 (Chorus)
 When the street wars jump off, there's only one thing to do
 Grab your gat and squeeze one off
 This ain't the life of the soft ones who run off
 You got one shot to get you a knot
