Front Street (Radio Version)

[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")
