code of the streets

Singer:ice-t

yeah

iceberg nigga

2006

smg bitch

niggaz out here got nerve to tell me keep it real

faggot ass motherfuckers have no motherfucking. reference point to real

thorough niggaz know

there's rules to this shit

original gangster

i respect the laws

of the crimes lords and the gangster wars

my only religion

is the code of the streets

we never use cops

we just handle our bleat

the penalty precision is an infant death

never disrespect or betray your set

love and loyalty is the ultimate goal

to the code of the streets

i hear my pledge in my soul

when i was nineteen

i learned the game unpolitely

niggaz threw me on the back of the 'llac

told me to shut up

put me in the crack spot

made me chop rocks

put me on the streets

taught me how to lock blocks

told me never snitch

never trust man or bitch

rock revolvers

never trust gats with clips

speak in low tones

even when you think you're alone

cause phones will get you sent upstate

cause feds rotate

and all that close talking

talk about birds and cake

they talk it better than you

so advice your crew

and any body new

watch him with profiles

cause the d-e-a is crafty and those sending spies

feds get gangster

hard niggaz tell

bitches get jealous and they send you to hell

your best friend is a rat

i can tell by the smell

you'll get cracked for the gat

they can tell by the shell

truth is

most of these bitches

is harder than men

fact is

most of these gangsters

turn gay in the pen

and if i let you rob me once

you'll probably rob me again

that's why some niggaz lives must end

they tell

you keep your friends closer

i keep them closer than most

my enemies can do whatever

i'ma pose with a toss

live your life low and simply you should be like a ghost

when you get a legal paper

it ain't too smart to boast

nigga

yeah

niggaz out there talking about how real it is

niggaz got this shit twisted

niggaz is snitching like motherfucking bitches

niggaz got this shit all fucked up

nowadays

you niggaz analyzing the shot not the shooter

got a gold simi

choose the glock not the rooga

don't leave your conversations on your goddamn computor

listen to me close

it might extend your life

don't trust all your homies

some of them'll bend your wife

cause there's two games

one that respects the laws

and one that's straight scandalous and listed across

if you're fucking with the second one

you'll end for a loss

they play another game

blast

kill

collect the cash

no running when they're gunning and they don't wear masks

the middle niggaz mobbing

just trying to eat

they don't give a fuck about the code of the streets
