Streets Ain't The Same

[Intro: Rick Hyde & Gowan]

Just a little problem, out of hand

The consequence of supply and demand

Violate the laws—, the laws

Violate the laws, violate-

Violate the laws, violate-

Violate the laws, violate-

Violate the laws, oh, vio—

Violate the laws, violate-

Violate the laws, violate-

Violate the laws, violate-

Violate the laws, the laws—

Look

[Verse 1: Rick Hyde]

I had some early steps of guidance, damn, I miss Shay (Damn, I miss Shay)

I was eighteen and defiant (Up), but he saw me as a giant

I knew that I was tryin', never fathomed Godly (Never fathomed Godly)

Benny, West, Conway, I'm next to 'em, child's cross be (Griselda, what up?)

As far as this rap syllabus, I feel it's no equivalent

All this shit you talk is frivolous, I'm shinin', like fill 'em in

I based my shit off diligence, it's work ethic and willingness (Yeah)

Until you reach my plateau, you won't understand how real it is (How real it is)

[Verse 2: Benny The Butcher]

Ayo, far as this rap curriculum, grindin', with swings dependin'

Adrenaline rush, I'm feelin' from past legends, I'm a livin' one

Good at rap, couldn't dribble much, few years passed, got my rhythm up

Switched my flow, got my chicken up

Drug dealin' took my attention from music

So by age eighteen, I'd been in prison once

On parole by age twenty-one, that's what Shay came to get me from (That's where he got me)

Cream of the crop in particular, that's where he picked me from

And next Rick was up, so our stories sound similar

[Chorus: ElCamino & Benny The Butcher]

Man, these streets ain't the same, these freaks ain't the same

Takin' necessary steps to stay ahead of the game

But as long as you know, wherever we go

We gon' prop out twenty deep and we gon' put on a show

Man, these streets ain't the same, these freaks ain't the same

Takin' necessary steps to stay ahead of the game

But as long as you know, wherever we go

We gon' prop out twenty deep and we gon' put on a show (Yeah, ayy, look)

[Verse 3: Benny The Butcher]

The streets ain't been the same since Tana Talk 3

When they see me somewhere asleep, they start to feel I'm in they reach (Huh?)

And if you think I'm too accessible, I got no problem addressin' you (Nah)

I'm only seen when I choose to be saw, plus I love correctin' you

I jumped on a pile of jets and flew places that's nowhere next to you

Meetings where you ain't on schedule, in these circles, y'all not critical (I don't see y'all)

Trophy case where the medals go, won't be easy, Shay said it though (Shay said it)

Pop this shit in, your head'll flow, gon' feel like you ate edibles, Butcher

[Verse 4: RIck Hyde]

Fuck with me, beheaded throat

A hand gesture, you never know

Since  Plates 2  I ain't never slowed

This run been unforgettable

For Shay's sake, I'ma try to be humble, but no promises

I was piss poor, now they 21 like [Thomason?]

20 years later, I'm on the same team like [?] is

Bigger BSF, ride for my niggas, we accomplices

Despite all the accomplishments, the pain still in my consciousness

I'm still gon' make the profit work, regardless of the consequence

[Chorus: ElCamino]

Man, these streets ain't the same, these freaks ain't the same

Takin' necessary steps to stay ahead of the game

But as long as you know, wherever we go

We gon' prop out twenty deep and we gon' put on a show

Man, these streets ain't the same, these freaks ain't the same

Takin' necessary steps to stay ahead of the game

But as long as you know, wherever we go

We gon' prop out twenty deep and we gon' put on a show
