[Intro: Phat Kat, (Jungle Brothers sample)]
Yo...
This is dedicated to all the fake suckas at home
Watching the videos ("Don't front")
Then going outside and trying to portray this stuff
You know what I’m saying?
You living on front street
[Chorus]
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't front")
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street
[Verse 1]
Now everyday I turn around, I see fellas on the block
Telling war stories, talking 'bout killing cops ("Don't front")
Braggin' on they guns just for fun
Glorifyin' the title that be known as the daily Murder 1
They rolling tookie, they packin' automatic weapons
But each and every one of them are known for half-steppin'
John's all talk, Willy Thomas is a toy
And them twins Ray and Jay, both of them are momma's boys
And niggas, them same niggas – yeah, they tried to play me
Like a little sucka, even disobeyed me
Da nigga Phat Kat, pay them chumps no nevermind
'Cause the rest of my life, won't be spent doing jail time
And all the wannabes lookin' at me hard
Tryna be like Dr. Dre or Snoop Doggy Dog, check it –
All the wannabes lookin at me hard
Tryna be like Dr. Dre or Snoop Doggy Dog ("Don't front")
Living out the tape life, thinkin' its reality
Braggin' on the next man's dope game salary
Where will I go? When will I retreat
And get the hell away from this front street?
I gotta go
[Chorus]
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't" "Don't front")
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't front" "front")
Gotta get away find a place to stay
Cos brothers they be killing on front street ("Don't" "Don't front")
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't front" "front")
[Verse2: Phat Kat]
Yo... good Saturday, I'm coolin' at the mall with my lady
Just because I'm making records, niggas wanna disobey me
And play me like I was a no-name punk
When they saw me walking past, I overheard 'em talking junk
Reggie thinks he tough, so the other suckas follow
But they all fake, drinking water out a vodka bottle
So I just laughed, and went about my way
'Cause I wasn't gonna let the little punk spoil my day, hey
Why do brothers fake and front like they tough
When they with their crew? But when they by themselves you call their bluff
I ain't got time for these silly chump games
It's a shame, niggas frontin' hard to get a name
So I just push along and mind my own
I'm pissed off, thats why I took it out in this long song
So now I think I’ll just retreat
And get the hell away from this front street
So now I think I’ll just retreat
And get the hell away from this front street
I gotta go
[Chorus]
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't" "Don't" "Don't front")
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't" "Don't" "Don't front")
Gotta get away find a place to stay
Cos brothers they be killing on front street ("Don't" "Don't front")
Gotta get away, find a place to stay
'Cause brothers they be illin' on front street ("Don't" "Don't" "Don't front")
[Scratch outro]
("Don't front")
("Don't" "front")
("Don't front" "Don't" "front")
("Don't" "Don't front")
("Don't front" "Don't" "front")
("Don't front" "front")
