The Corner

[Intro: Dave] Yeah, the 15 millionth time, 15 and 1 Check it out Yo Com, how you rhyme to this slow shit? Yeah yeah, check it out [Verse 1: Dave] Yo. memories of the corner, we huddled and stayed in trouble Guzzled on 40 O-Zs and played the double and back We doublin' crack, no wonder why they fear us We cussin' 'cause our mommas couldn't hear us Young lovers'll cuddle at 15, shit, they seen the struggle so That makes him a man con-sidered he got plans but She don't understand that this is where them fools bust at Same corner where she go and catch the school bus at It ain't changed a bit, we stand circle and spit bars Cigarette butts scattered like glass shattered And pops, he play the corner 'til his day comes, DAMN~! Ambulances on the corner but hey, now it's offi-cial 'Cisco was the daze, them cups of E&J Went down and hit a warm spot even in the winter's cold We had our snorkel and our winter playboys on These are the corners we was sent to play boys on Our socks is pockets, the guns is rockets It's where the after school fight was at, brand new bikes was at Fila suits, Kangols and new Nikes was at Same corner is today's same yesterday [Chorus: repeat 2X] I wish that I cold give you this feelin' I wish that I cold give you this feelin' We was livin' on them corners, had a nigga rhymin', drinkin' Whylin', potted out, livin' HIGH! [Verse 2: Pos] We live it real, hard, revoke your zeal God don't come around here no mo' So why you screamin' HIS NAME in vain when the pain hits Pick yourself up and get to a hospital quick But leave out the bit, about what went down I know they hound us for hawkin' Just a flesh wound, stitch it up, keep it walkin' Niggas on the corners loyal, they ain't talkin' (they ain't talkin') Put down the sea of chalk and The use of chalk is for lines of hopscotch Or tracin' dead bodies for crimes that got botched For just crime commitin' and it's, time to fit it In the schedule, 'cause them crosstown niggas Came to our corner sprayin' that lead you pull Ain't nuttin' deeper than pilin' in the car With the street sweeper so we can clear every star Off the corner [Chorus]
