If sidewalks could talk this is what they'd say...

Don't I keep you on your toes
So you can stand with the prose
I support your pose
Stay on your square 
Like portrait mode
The streets is dangerous 
But I can't act like I aint got flaws
Hustlers came to me with crack
And I supported they cause
I hope to write my wrongs 
Providing you a platform for your songs
I let em have their run 
But people walking over me is done 
Watching everybody eat
I was left to catch the crumbs
When I needed people most
They skated on me 
Having fun 
I can tell you different
That's why I do my best to keep you lifted 
You are light, in the truest sense of it 

Follow me, walk this way 
If sidewalks could talk this what they'd say 
You ain't hard as me 
And You ain't gotta be 
All the things I see I wish I didn't 
But it's part of me 
And I can't act like people stepping on me doesn't bother me 
Taking me for granted, to get where they wanna be 

Thank you for helping me get where I'm going 
I walked in your footsteps when it was snowing 
I aint tripping off your past
The past is meant to pave the way for something greater
When being soft could get you shaped up you had to be hard
Plus the grass is always greener in the yard 
And double dutch is funner in the summer (extended depth)
So be cool and play your part 
It's up to you to keep the children out the streets
And in the parks
What a beautiful canvas for the youth to make art 
Much less artistic when forensics drawing on you in chalk
You ain't a fault
The summers hot, the streets are asphalt  
Police sitting niggas on the curb 
When that ass caught 
Teddy bears, balloons and liquor bottles as a backdrop 
My first step off the bus was his last stop 
Walking out the falcon with a soda
When he got popped 

Follow me, walk this way 
If sidewalks could talk this what they'd say 
You ain't hard as me 
And You ain't gotta be 
All the things I see I wish I didn't 
But it's part of me 
Can't act like people stepping over me doesn't bother me 
Taking me for granted (to get where they wanna be)

I ain't a street nigga
Ima street performer 
And Life aint been a beach 
It's been a busy corner
Drop a dollar 
Someone's sure to pick it up for ya 

Drop a dollar 
Drop a dollar
Drop a dollar
Drop a dollar

I ain't a street nigga
Ima street performer 
And when Life aint been a beach 
It's been a busy corner
Drop a dollar 
Someone's sure to pick it up for ya 

Drop a dollar 
Drop a dollar 
Drop a dollar
Drop a dollar
Drop a dollar

Whaaaaaaat

Follow me, walk this way 
If sidewalks could talk this what they'd say 
You ain't hard as me 
And You ain't gotta be 
All the things I see I wish I didn't 
But it's part of me 
And I can't act like people stepping on me doesn't bother me 
Taking me for granted, to get where they wanna be
