"MY STREET BLUES"
The Fixtape Vol. 3: Special Delivery (Track 6)

Yes she has a gun and I went and got her a gun permit! Now they didn't have to shoot that old lady down like that. They didn't have to do that! It's one old woman in that house. I've got burglar-bars there to try to protect her. I've got mercury lights out there to keep it bright and light. I'm as mad as hell and somebody's gonna answer to that!
Police are defending the shooting death of a 92 year-old woman. It happened as plain-clothes officers burst into her home last night to serve a search warrant for drugs. Police say they made an undercover drug-buy at the house, earlier in the day. The woman's niece said there were never drugs in the house and her aunt lived alone and probably just panicked. The family is furious!
Bizzy & Krayzie (- Chorus -)
There's so many ways to die. Oh no! There's so many ways to fly. Steady as we roll! There's so many ways to rise high. (high) 'Cause life can't pass us by no more!
Krayzie Bone
Chillin' on my mama's front porch, I'm watchin', sittin' here reminiscin' on how hot the block gets. From right here I can truly see how crooked the cops is. My vision gettin' blurry as I look at my options. I can just let 'em drop me, or I can c*** it and pop it! The way they murdered Oscar was preposterous nonsense! They talkin' with their glocks - conversation is violence and they wonder why society is criminal-minded. They never gonna change! Come around my way. Another one shot down, slain, while the cop got praised. It's hard to maintain when they supposed to protect us. You or me could be the next one bleedin' injustice!
- Chorus -
Krayzie Bone (- Bridge -)
Even though the world shows no affection (no affection), you gotta keep it movin', gotta keep on steppin' (gotta keep on steppin'). The Man Upstairs is our only protection. It's very necessary you remember this is temporary.
Flesh-n-Bone
Time's tickin' all day, let me swoop up in your neck of the woods. Everybody tend to their own hustle, got much respect, that's all good! Turn on the news, it's no surprise to see... police brutality and worse they out here gunnin' us down in the street! Abuse of authority ain't even it. Rather the vast majority of 'em is too d*** incompetent. When is enough gonna be enough I ask? I know we all tryin' to live life free from all the madness. It's sad enough you gotta watch out or get jacked. But the worst one's the criminal that's hidin' behind the badge! You got a problem, it may be a waste of time to call 'em 'cause the only thing they bringin' is more problems so why bother?
- Chorus -

Bizzy Bone
Political think I'm illiterate, little ol' me - I get so cynical! It's pitiful livin' in minimal! General's animals stick with their tentacle. I'm more alive, I'm just tryin' to fight evil. Me and my people, my people and me! I'm still single. And even though I look meager, I'm eager to make some money. My heart is more than a direction; my protection from dummies. Hold your hand like babies, feel my hand gettin' stuck. Josiah acted a fool! Rasu, 7th Sign, What?!
- Chorus -

Layzie Bone
I'm lookin' around the world, my temporary city, it makes my heart hurt. Feelin' the struggles of my brothers, it takes some hard work. Bein' raised by single mothers, the case was caught first. And they got daddy in the pen', gotta face the laws worst! No guidance,we dyin', we barely survivin'! The knowledge is there, they ain't providin'. They starvin' us out to keep us divided so they can keep the money and hide it. Operation: Silence. The government got some secrets they ain't tellin'! 'Cause if they let you know then they can't convict you felon! But they done slipped and let the thugs know the deal. We comin' back to save the ghetto; let the truth be revealed! If we all get on the level and exhibit some skills, we can all get outta debt and we can pay up these bills and just chill!
- Chorus -
