"LOVE IN THESE STREETS" lyrics
I tried to tell my haters back the fuck up, ho, it's my time (It's my time)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets (You know I got love)
All the real bitches scream my name (My name, Vandross)
And the real niggas glad I came (Came)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets
If they gon' hate, I let 'em hate
'Cause if I ain't keep it real, then God can take me here today
I get so much love in these streets, it shouldn't be no other way
I know they was doubtin' me 'til I put it in they face (No)
I was there day-to-day basis
I help all my partners beat they cases
I ain't gotta say shit, the real gon' embrace me (No, no)
Seen this shit a thousand times, it's like I had Lasik (Mm)
Niggas told a thousand lies, they was on some fake shit (Ooh)
The streets with me forever, it's a part of me
When I was down on my ass, family was hard to reach
Now we flowin' like water, baby, I'm a machine (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I tried to tell my haters back the fuck up, ho, it's my time (It's my time)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets (You know I got love)
All the real bitches scream my name (My name, Vandross)
And the real niggas glad I came (Came)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets
Yeah (Yeah)
See, I'm the type of nigga that be buyin' ice (Yeah)
I am not the type of nigga that be buyin' likes (Yeah)
As a youngster, I was not the one to try and fight
I was thinkin' Bentley while me and my dog was ridin' bikes (Ridin' foreign, nigga)
I kept on goin' to jail, I guess I wasn't hidin' right (For real, though)
But I'm a torch in the ghetto, I am the guidin' light (For real, though)
Whenever I sing the blues, somebody gon' cry tonight (For real, though)
But I'm here to save you, so ain't nobody gon' die tonight (Uh)
I be feelin' so low, that's why I'm so high tonight (Uh)
Usually on my swivel, but seems like that don't apply tonight (Uh)
R.I.P. to all of my people that's in the sky tonight (Sky tonight)
I swear y'all give y'all boy a lot of life, bitch, I got love in the streets (Woah)
I tried to tell my haters back the fuck up, ho, it's my time (It's my time)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets (You know I got love)
All the real bitches scream my name (My name, Vandross)
And the real niggas glad I came (Came)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets (You know I got love)
All the real bitches scream my name (My name, Vandross)
And the real niggas glad I came (Came)
I guess it's 'cause I really got love in these streets
If they gon' hate, I let 'em hate
'Cause if I ain't keep it real, then God can take me here today
I get so much love in these streets, it shouldn't be no other way
I know they was doubtin' me 'til I put it in they face (No)
