Why Street Kings is worth a look for Keanu Reeves fans beyond John Wick
David Ayer’s 2008 crime thriller gives Keanu Reeves a deliberately unheroic role: a grieving LAPD detective whose methods are part of the problem.
Lyrics
Thelonius
[Intro: J Dilla]
Hah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: J Dilla]
Uh, yeah, yeah, play at your own risk
Act like you know, bitch, I'm on some grown shit
Hah, yeah, yeah, play at your own risk
Act like you know, bitch, I'm on some grown shit
It's the Thelonious, super microphonist
You know us, this rap shit, we 'bout to own it
You know it, these mini-mes tryna clone us
I got a bonus for the bitch that run up on us
I got a bonus for your bitch that wanna bone us
It's the Thelonious, super microphonist, uh
[Verse 1: T3]
No time to sleep, 'cause if you sleep, you don't eat
Gotta hold heat just to make ends meet
Niggas livin' on the street while other niggas feast
Aight with you, it ain't aight with me
Right? Gotta make money all my life
Gotta stay fuckin' bitches, many types (Know what I'm sayin'?)
Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Yup, stay turnin' these bitches out
Dick 'em down, also dick 'em out
