Street Corner

It's that street corner-
Yo
Comin' straight out the 3-1-3
It's ya' boy (It's that-)
I know
Yeah!

Livin' in a world full of saints and sinners
Detroit there'll have you for dinner (It's-)
Everybody got a cannibal instinct, mentality (It-)
Is it all reality? (It's that-)
Sometimes I really don't wanna rap no more
That's like a millionaire sayin', he don't wanna stack no more (It's-)
Times is hard, oh my God!
Should I go out and try to get me a job? (It's-)
But tell me, what kinda job I qualify for (It's that-)
Street knowledge, just pushin' the raw, or
May I help you? Do you want cheese on that?
Yo, freeze on that

It's that street corner indoctrination
Yeah
That criminal ethic
That street corner value-system
It's overpowering
It's that street corner-

Wake up, wake up
More bread to bake up
I see posers putting on makeup (It's-)
So you could go ahead with your hate, but (It's that-)
But I'm the originator and creator
Of the style that you doin'
So you could stop your boo-hooing
And, yeah, I'm talkin' 'bout you, an' (It's-)
The off-beat DJ
In your thing, he play (It's-)
Sound familiar? I went to

(It's that-)
E say, "Slay 'em!" then I'ma have to diss!
And, bitch, you could get smacked for this (It's-)
I ain't no Joker, let the pistol smoke
Boomin' Words from Hell since '89
And that's dope! (It's-)
You don't even know the meanin' of that! (It's that-)
So, I'ma tell you why these motherfuckers fiendin' for that
Acid Rap, just like crack
Once ya' take one hit, two seconds, they comin' back

It's that street corner indoctrination
Yeah
That criminal ethic
That street corner value-system
It's overpowering
It's that street corner-

I spit lyrical poetry to all that know of me
But some motherfuckers call me Unholy
Esham, the Black Devil, I got many names, yeah (It's that-)
And they all the same
You don't even know I'm from the Egypt
But, people be like, "Sink his ship!" (It's-)
And that's some bullshit! (It-)
And I don't even know if I could really deal with that (It's that-)
It's just words, but the pen is mightier than the sword
But, oh, my Lord, push me forward! (It's-)
Once I spit this priceless, I don't even know if y'all can really afford (It-)
Yo!

It's that street corner!
It's that street corner music!
It's that street corner!
Street corner!
It's that street corner indoctrination
Yeah
That criminal ethic
That street corner value-system
It's overpowering
It's that street corner-
