Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
These streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can't never leave da gameEvery time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
These streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can't never leave da gameNo matter how many time I go to jail
I can't never leave da game
No many how many times I f*** up
I can't never leave da gameGrow up poor, poorer than most
No papa to show me the roast
So my animal instinct on me go for the dough
A young n**** started packing toast for the loaf
Ride another and another and a sister and a brother
Even robbed a n**** that
I thought was undercover for a whole block of butter
Crack and snack on my mamma dope, before my mamma woke
Watch the dreamin' on me beain' on a higher road
It was downhill from now
It was downtown chills and cold courtroom air
Every year I say I'm fin to change
But every year still the same,
Ice cold, water still feel my vein
I can't leave the game, born in it
Sworn in it, swerving in it, born for itEvery time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
These streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can't never leave da gameNo matter how many n****s doubt me
I can't leave the game
No matter who many cops get pull on my wrist
I can't leave the game
Never leave the gamePay for my broken home, broken alone
Made the best outta what I had
Gun, glove and mask
So deep in the game, I couldn't leave if I try
Even if I quit, keep scream in quad
The s*** is all I know, this all I ever knew
Started from the bottom then I roused a love of two
Cars got fancy, b****es did too
Ain't got lover n****, wishin' that was you
But they don't know the struggle, triple triose and the pain
They don't see the trouble, just the flose and the fame
They don't see them n****s pointed fingers for the blame
The bodies, the shadies, the blood, the stains
I can't leave the game, I'm born in it, sworn in it
Sworviv' in the forn in itEvery time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
These streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can't never leave da gameNo matter how many time I go to jail
I can't never leave da game
No many how many times I f*** up
I can't never leave da gameMoney in the power, keep on callin' me
Plus the p**** and the powder make it hard to sleep
Caally flawin' in my chest make it hard to breath
And all let's get by and make it hard to leave
I live for the stage, the mics and the lights
I'm so tired of cops and gettin' read my rights
With my first solo did the run, my advance
We spend on the loyal, bail on the gun
Never givin' the chance, always over look
Never givin' the glance
So I took it like a cook, like I should
Like I 'pose to
Now I had it hard sink when I flow to
I can't leave the game
I was born in it, sworn in itEvery time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
These streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can't never leave da gameNo matter how many time I go to jail
I can't never leave da game
No many how many times I f*** up
I can't never leave da game
