Code Of The Streets - GangStarr

Take this for example young brothers want rep 
Cause in the life they're living  you can't half step 
It starts with the young ones doing crime for fun 
And if you ain't down  you'll get played out son 
So let's get a car  you know  a fly whip 
Get a dent  pull a screwdriver  and be off quick 
With a dope ride  yeah  and a rowdy crew 
We can bag us a Benz and an Audi  too 
Even a jeep or a van  goddamn  we're getting ours, yo

The mad poverty, never having always needing 
If a sucker steps up, then I leave him bleeding 
I gotta get mine, I can't take no shorts 
And while I'm selling, here's a flash report 
Organized crime, they get theirs on the down low 
Here's the ticket, wanna bet on a horse show? 
You gotta be a pro, do what you know 
When you're dealing with the code of the streets 
Nine times out of ten I win, with the skills I be weilding 
Got the tec one dealing, let me express my feelings 
Guru has never been one to play a big shot 
It's just the styles I got that keep my mic hot 
Anf fuck turning my back to the street scene 
It gives me energy, so Imma keep fiends 
Coming, just to get what I'm selling 
Maybe criminal or felon dropping gems on your melon 
So keep abreast to t
