Streets Shed Tears lyrics - Ice Cube

Ooooh

Ooooh

Ooooh

When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone

I know the streets will shed tears for me

When my story is over and my song is done

I know the streets will shed tears for me

The end

All I get is mother fuckin' love in these streets

To most of these tricks I'm a mother fuckin' treat

What's beef? I ain't got no beef

See all that bitchin'? It taste like chicken

And all these chickens? They get plucked

And nobody wants to see the volcano erupt

I'm down with Daz 'cause everythang is Kurupt

I'm celebrated every time I pull up

You hella hated, every time you look up

I'm elevated to rapper's deluxe

They love me, dawg, 'cause I'm one of a kind

This is God's plan, homie, it ain't mine

See, this ain't about dyin', it's all about shinin'

It's all about climbin' a hill of diamonds

I know that you feel it, I know that you felt it

'Cause a nigga gon' live 'til a nigga can't help it

When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone

I know the streets will shed tears for me

(They love me, dawg)

When my story is over and my song is done

(They love me, dawg)

I know the streets will shed tears for me

The end

Sorry, y'all, I ain't got no haters

All I got is mother fuckers tellin' me I'm the greatest

All I got is those fly ass suits and gators

Nobody servin' Cube but maids and waiters

Nobody tryin' to take my life

All these bitches tryna do is replace my wife

But you hoes ain't cold enough to fuck with Ice

Like Kim she'll run circles 'round you bitches twice

Now, it might get funky but it won't get ugly

Niggas might not like me but they still love me

Niggas might talk shit, they whisper and huddle

'Cause they know my rebuttal might leave a puddle

Now the streets is talkin' until they see me walkin' up the block, then the bullshit stop

Anything I do, don't take it personal 'cause when a nigga gone, that shit ain't reversible

When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone

I know the streets will shed tears for me

(They love me, dawg)

When my story is over and my song is done

(They love me, dawg)

I know the streets will shed tears for me

The end

I'm the bastard that spit the acid

Fuck a funeral home and a casket

Fuck a funeral song and a procession

Keep God on your dome and count your blessings

Keep the hood in your heart but heaven on your mind

Shake 'em up and roll seven every time

Pick 'em up, yup, stick 'em up

Every time you see me got a different color cup

This ain't about dyin', it's all about livin'

It's all about makin' everyday Thanksgivin'

It's all about givin', about stayin' driven

It ain't about you, it's about these children

So when a nigga die, stop cryin' and ventin'

Will somebody in here bump George Clinton?

Will somebody in here hug my fam?

Don't worry about me, you know where I am

When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone

I know the streets will shed tears for me

(They love me, dawg)

When my story is over and my song is done

(They love me, dawg)

I know the streets will shed tears for me

The end
