Sidewalks

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
