[Chorus]
The streets are callin', I see my man haulin'
From all the nights, he's out there clubbin'
Don't lie to me, I know you're hustlin'
You and your boys, you're out there thuggin'
Don't forget the Lord has a callin'
Listen to him, he wants you to stop callin'
On my knees, prayin' for you and cryin' for you
I don't know what to do
[Verse 1]
I'm a man and I'ma do what I'm supposed to do
I prayed enough but he ain't come through
Money talks, that's why you have the things you do
Burberry and such, keeping you fine with Jews
I grew up in these streets so I know the rules
You ain't gotta tell me twice, I ain't no fool
I do things my way in the heat of the night
Don't talk to me about need to see the light
[Chorus]
The streets are callin', I see my man haulin'
From all thе nights, he's out there clubbin'
Don't liе to me, I know you're hustlin'
You and your boys, you're out there thuggin'
Don't forget the Lord has a callin'
Listen to him, he wants you to stop callin'
On my knees, prayin' for you and cryin' for you
I don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
Who you gonna give thanks to with what we got?
Seen good guys die, bad guys just lie
Not even they mama cry when they just die
Why look up in the sky when there's nothin' there?
Long trips outta town, I got us there
So much ice, people can't help but stare
This is what I do, ma, I was born for this
God has nothin' to do with me and you
So this conversation we havin', to me it's through
I'ma roll up to Philly, cause I need to get loose
Get your hands off of me and just let me go
It seems the more I wanna go, the more I hear about the Lord
I know that he be talkin', I just wanna ignore
This ain't his life, so he ain't got no absolute control
Don't talk to me about my life and what he got in store
I just wanna be me, so let me be
Come on
[Chorus]
The streets are callin', I see my man haulin'
From all the nights, he's out there clubbin'
Don't lie to me, I know you're hustlin'
You and your boys, you're out there thuggin'
Don't forget the Lord has a callin'
Listen to him, he wants you to stop callin'
On my knees, prayin' for you and cryin' for you
I don't know what to do
[Verse 3]
Heyo, T, my girl, she's on my case
Went to church one day, she ain't never been the same
Talkin' to me about I need to leave the game
(Yo, you can't do that, son, man, we got it, man)
But the last couple nights, man, I dreamt the hell's flame
This cat didn't say nothin', he just showed my name
Pointed at the spots, I mean, next to James
And word to that cat, man, what a shame
Heyo, T, grab this bass head, shots just rained
I saw my best man dead, face full of blood
But it was like how we said, my lifespan spread
I should've listened to the Lord when I had the chance
My life shown in the movie, all up in the glass
The Lord saved my life that very single night
Accept him in my heart without no stallin'
Still love the Lord even if the streets callin'
[Chorus]
The streets are callin', I see my man haulin'
From all the nights, he's out there clubbin'
Don't lie to me, I know you're hustlin'
You and your boys, you're out there thuggin'
Don't forget the Lord has a callin'
Listen to him, he wants you to stop callin'
On my knees, prayin' for you and cryin' for you
I don't know what to do
[Outro]
Gotta make the change
Oh, oh, oh
Don't lie to me, look at me
Yes, He has
I don't know hat to do
'Cause I don't want to loose you, no
I pray, I cry
I need the Lord to answer me
