It's amazing how your life can change 

It's plan and simple as it can bring things 

Take prespective before it comes your way 

I'm am so thankful to God for this day 

Cause for a long time the streets were my home 

Slanging hard banging hard got me known 

But the reason to live Ive been shown 

I gotta be around to see my baby boy grow 



[Chorus:]

Street life no more I'm throwing in the towel 

Street life no more I gotta son now 

Street life no more I gotta make it out 

Street life no more (oh yeah yeah) 

Street life no more I'm throwing in the towel 

Street life no more I gotta show little man 

What my life is really about 



One more dealing and I'm outta this thing 

need the paper so that I can maintain 

I'ma fine a job hopefully something that pays 

It's hard to walk away from this figure I made 

Gab the money this don't look right no more 

That nigga right there I think I seen him before 

Good thing he didn't make a sell or buy 

He gave me four years I'll be out by the he's five 



[chorus]



Baby don't cry I'll be home soon 

I let a gang of money in the safe for you 

Come write I'll make it right through 

I just got his picture of his first day in preschool 

He's gonna be smart just like his mom 

I commend you black queen for holding on 

How many days I think I'ma cry 

When I get out nomore street life Oh yeah 



[chorus: until fade]
