Lyrics

Yo, yo, yo, son

Have you ever felt the funny vibe?

What you supposed to do?

When your mans ain't your mans

And your friends ain't your friends

And your money ain't yours no more

**** wanna count your own money

**** wanna see what the fuck you got

You know what I'm saying?

Sometimes I just gotta take long trips and get away from this shit

I can't take this shit no more

This shit right here be fucking **** like me up

You know what I'm saying?

I been exposed to too much for too long

All my **** out there in the hoods and shit

That be burning that real shit

Put your fucking phillies in the air

Your Backwoods, your White Owls, your Dutches

And we gon' smoke and we gon' ride to this shit right here

You know what I'm saying?

This is that shit right here the soundtrack to the realness right here

**** In Too Deep, know what I'm saying?

It's all real

What? What?

Live, ****

What? What? ****

I think of dead homies, incarcerated pen pals

I got the Feds on me, a constipated mental

Always rains in the ghetto, it's pain in the ghetto

Caskets, do you believe in angels or devils?

Welfare, it's dark and there's no help here

Killer cops shooting black kids to instill fear

But we still here, not afraid, cracks is made

Stacks is made, a G'll get you gats to spray

At my man's funeral, it's like nobody cared

But when police get shot, the mayor, everybody there

Graffiti on the lobby stairs, kids with knotty heads

Greedy soldiers, four faces painted on the wall

I was born to ball, rings you can't afford

Name a clothes line I done worn it all

To dictate the naked soul of Nas

Henny four fives, hoes with thick thighs be the wives of rich guys

Never trust a bitch 'cause a bitch lie

Enemies close 'cause friends switch sides when shit gets live

I'm dealing with a lot of pressure, I'm in too deep

Life of a thug, born and raised in the street

You want war? I'ma give you war (I'm in too deep)

You want peace? I'ma give you peace (Raised in the street)

You want love? I'ma show you love (Life of a thug)

There's no love for me in these streets (I'm in too deep)

It's just hustlers in these streets (Raised in the streets)

When you in too deep, you better climb out and find out

Are you the one they lookin' at?

'Cause when you lookin' back, you show signs of fear

If the drama severe, I see scars starting off at the side of the ear

Ending up by the jaw or the throat, another law broke

I try to patch it, white kids is buying acid

Closing down spots, popping or not

Heard informants use binoculars, watching the blocks

Call him Phantom of the Tapes, I'm the phantom of wax

Now meet the man behind the music, examine the facts

I use it to my advantage, do this shit every day

Like sneaking gats up in Grade A

Six Flags, catch me getting on the popular rides

If a **** violate, he getting popped in the limes

Small hot ones, locks in his spine

Transform, roll out, pass it off to my man, no doubt

I keep six disguises, six shirts in the trunk

Imagine, it gets six times worse when I'm drunk

Prepare for death in the first of the month

Open your eyes, it's right here in front of you

Open your eyes, I can't explain it 'cause it isn't normal

Is **** loyal? I talk about life and live it for you

This shit is soil, like the dirt that I walk on, you talk on

Used to have love for you, now it's all gone

It's all wrong

You want war? I'ma give you war (I'm in too deep)

You want peace? I'ma give you peace (Raised in the street)

You want love? I'ma show you love (Life of a thug)

There's no love for me in these streets (I'm in too deep)
