| CHORUS CHARLIE WILSON
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
fighting these pressures in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammies
But these streets won't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
to the blocks
goodbye
to the hood
goodbye
to the streets (to my problems)
Charlie: I can't say goodbye
to the hood
goodbye
to the blocks
goodbye
to the streets
I can't say goodbye
to the blocks
goodbye
to the streets
goodbye
to the hood
I can't say goodbye
to the hood
goodbye
to the blocks
goodbye
to the homies
VERSESNOOP DOGG
I guess it's trueyou can't take the hood out a homeboy
plusmy hood just lost another homeboy
another one got lifeand we don't knowif he coming home boy
They in the street tell me "just leave it alone boy
let them do them take care of your own boy"
But I said back brake a boundbefore I was grown boy
you had dreams of being a dope boy
yeahI was runnin' from the po po
Banging for the turflate night huntin'
puttin' me in workgood day comin'airbrushshirt
pay daygot the spotgot my hair cut first
made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church
yeah I live in the burbsbut I think 21st
I know since I left that it's gotten much worse
but I'd still be thereif I couldn't write a verse
CHORUS CHARLIE WILSON
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
fighting these pressures in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammies
But these streets won't say a goodbye
VERSESNOOP DOGG
To the blocks that raise methe enemies and the homies that made
metough enough to hang on the corners that would mould me
critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me
but if they think the old me ever leftthen they don't really know me
and don't knowwe don't changewe just become OGyou always addicted
to the lifeyou just don't ODshit I owe the streets before they owe me
took me in when my momma didn't want meto wild to be a childand pops
not around nowall I got now is the homiesto teach mehow to be a man
in what nothow to brake ounces in the grams in what not
the reason I'm so nice with my hands in what not shityou think I forgotman naw
CHORUS CHARLIE WILSON
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
fighting these pressures in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammies
But these streets won't say goodbye
VERSESNOOP DOGG
Thank god every day that the boy could spit
and all around the world they enjoyin' my shit
I know I got plenty more wars to get
I got abeautiful wife and some gorgeous kids
but it wouldn't be right if I ignore the shit
they made me how I amthe music in the man
told me that I can for the world gave a damn
if it wasn't for my niggas sayin' stick to the plan
probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand
probably be doin' a dub and the pen with my man
the say leaders streets but they don't really understand
all I had was the blockwhen I didn't have fans
rapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins
all I had was the homies when I didn't have kids
if it all come down and my career was to endI'm sure my name
would live.. in these streets
CHORUS CHARLIE WILSON
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family
fighting these pressures in my life
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammies
But these streets won't say goodbye
I just can't say goodbye
I can't say goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
I can't say goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
I cant say goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
I can't say goodbye
You can take the man out the streets
but you can't take the streets out the man
