lyrics

EyeQ verse

Standing on the corner, trynna make a few dollars
Lil shorty had a mother, but she never knew her father
Her poppa rolled out when she was 1, he was a alcoholic
From the bottle, any problem he had it would solve it
Momma was an addict, puttin heroine up in her veins
Alot of nights she was out looking for the product
The only role model in her life was a dude riding round in a rimmed out chevy impala

yU verse

I took a swallow, sitting out on the front step to hollar at Ronald
Who's smelling just like a bag of juana
Couldve been bad charma.. Cops put him in a lineup
Possession of that white powder, now he's not around us
But it's far from silent bout three blocks from Howard
Better guard your wallet... fiends walk away smiling
Folks be cold whiling on the ave of Rhode Island
Lot of guns, sex, violence, wilding to get the dollar
-
Hook

And on the corners you see hustlers be balling, & customers be falling.. The police patrolling the ave
So take this as a warning, cuz the block be scalding hot when they be out there making cash..
The Corner

yU verse

I told ya, u hang up on that strip if you want ta
Folks approach when they get broke quick to poke a
Hole in your goodie bag, off of Massachusetts Ave
Ruthless, dippers make a man look stoopid
And do shit to change others futures for two hits
Need to quit, selling fiends a fix
They so gone they robbing ATM machines to get
Some mo of that high, lips dry, Vaseline dem shits, n-gga
-
EyeQ verse

The greasy chick, walking wit the meanest switch
With bitter intents of flipping that paper to get rich
Scheming quick, with big hips, ass, and tits
On the strip thinking, "who's really gonna pass up this?"
It's obvious that Ronald didn't, he got out of jail and started pimpin
Different women just to make him a living
Drug dealing behind him, that's the shit that put him in prison
He started a new mission, "Get on the corner, you bitches!! "

EyeQ

It's home to rats, roaches, and plus the vultures, and cold shoulders faceoff like travolta

yU

Go head make a left on Georgia Ave turn on Florida..
Bad brauds for cash'll smash off the four of us
-
EyeQ

Not enuff, there more of us.. Deep in the Ford Taurus
Nope, not popo.. Riding wit no insurance

yU

It's like 4 in the morning, yup.. Niggaz, more than enuff
Stickup, gone give it up.. The liquor is poured in the cup
-
EyeQ

Go ahead and open it up. That potent bag of the krunk
We smoking, laughing it up.. U joking, he so serious
-
yU

The jumpouts? Awwe, here they come now..
Come out.. Hands put'em up, now.
Fuck dat, I'm boutta run out
A fact, shots tend to go blowww
-
EyeQ

Freeze.. Nigga please. Catching me, u must be tripping
