Keith Murray - Child Of The Streets (Man Child) lyrics
F/ Man Child
 Yo, the fruit don't fall far from the tree
 Yeah, uh
 [VERSE 1] (Keith Murray)
 My grandfather use to tell me
 This place ain't got nothing to offer you
 Don't you see all the changes everybody going through
 This family got problems and they do too
 But everybody wanna tell you what they think you should do
 He said watch them so called friends and them girls too
 Sonny do you like they did Jesus crucify you
 As he sat there in his chair looking out the window
 I'm thinking when you can't get away where do you go?
 (Inside your mind) man child never had a chance to be young
 Either you selling drugs or out there on the binge strung for some
 There's onlytwo places to go the morgue or the Pen
 For some school is an option entertainment to alternate them
 Then they'll try to exploit you discriminate you
 Use you as a tool make money and live in luxury off you
 And we so confused we wanna believe in something
 So they promise us the world but give us nothing
 [CHORUS] (Man Child)
 I say we can be all in this together
 Yeah, will you end up like, your family tree
 Tell me what you gonna do what you gonna do
 What you gonna do
 Your mind ain't too far from the sky
 [VERSE 2] (Keith Murray)
 The death of a loved one remind you of yourself don't it?
 Knowing you could be next at any given moment
 Like Twine I used to call him a brother of mine
 His pops was a drunk and his mother was blind
 He use to stay at my hose sometimes my moms didn't mind
 We was just nickel and dime hustlers wasting time
 Living in the streets targeted and forced to kill
 Dualistically we learned how to lie and steal
 Gangsters of the future modern days thugs
 Seem like me whole hood is covered in bloodKeith Murray - Child Of The Streets (Man Child) - http://motolyrics.com/keith-murray/child-of-the-streets-man-child-lyrics.html
 Traveling a ruff life in the eye of the storm
 Now I wear their life stories tattooed on my arm
 Psyc's grandmother passed away on April fools day
 Then her funeral was on her birthday shit is real
 My man had four baby moms and two on the way
 And trying to make a living for them passes away in vein
 God bless him, ask Skeeta
 [CHORUS] (Man CHild)
 Child of the streets well, well, well, well
 Will you end up like your family tree?
 Tell me what you gonna do 3X
 (Child of the streets, understand the habits
 Behind the child of the streets)
 [VERSE3] (Keith Murray)
 They try to fuck my fame up tear my name up
 Turn around and sue me fuck my little bit of change up
 I knew it was going to be some shit to get me for some cream
 I saw it in my subconscious world like a vision
 At first it hurt me like a knife in the heart
 But by nature I continued to live out my part
 As art imitates life and life imitates art
 Don't respect the streets and they tear your ass apart
 It's important that my understanding understood
 But it's more important that it's understood in the hood
 And to all the females in the Pen stay strong
 Any day in jail girl is a day too long
 And for those who had to do what they did to slide
 Now running like a fugitive to save the live you live
 Put in a box saw my step pops
 He said boy Keith what the blood clot how much time you got?
 [CHORUS] (Man Child)
 Child of the streets little sister
 Tell me where will you lay your head?
 Child of the streets little brother
 Where will you make your bed?
 Yall tell me what yall gonna do
 What yall gonna do
 Tell me what yall gonna do
 Tell me
