Leave The Streets Alone lyrics
[Verse:]
Boy, if you only knew just how much I worry about you when you're out of my sight.
I be scared to death cause I know what you do.
I don't wanna get that call in the middle of the night.
[Hook:]
(It would break my heart. I'd be torn apart)
I don't ever wanna lose you to the streets.
(But the streets define who you really are)
Holding down the block is where you're gonna be cause you can't leave it alone.
[Chorus:]
You can't leave the block alone. (No)
Hustling till the break of dawn
You're there more than you are home. (Home)
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone.
You can't leave the block alone.
Hustling till the break of dawn. (You're)
You're there more than you are home.
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone.
[Verse:]
Boy, everytime I hear sirens going off my heart starts beating hella fast.
Cause one of my very biggest fears is that one day your luck will run out and they'll send you away.
[Hook:]
(It would break my heart. I'd be torn apart)
I really wish that I could keep you out the streets.
(But it's in your blood and no matter what)
Holding down the block is where you wanna be cause you can't leave it alone.
[Chorus:]
You can't leave the block alone. (No)
Hustling till the break of dawn. (Break of dawn)
You're there more than you are home. (Home)
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone. (Baby come home)
You can't leave the block alone. (No)
Hustling till the break of dawn. (Hustling)
You're there more than you are home.
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone.
[Rap: Jadakiss]
Huh, I know that I'm hard ma.
But you gotta have faith in the god, ma.
You'll always have a space in my heart, ma.
Long as the love never outwears the trust.
And you understand that I'm out there for us.
I'm in what I call a zone.
Starting to break me down mentally now though cause I'm there more than I'm home.
Twenty-four sev, pumping and strapping.
While you dolo in the crib thinking something could happen.
I try but I can't hide the fact, huh.
Now I need a dutch and a shot of "yak".
Try to bring it back.
Yeah, sweating like I got a fever.
Can't leave the block alone.
Can't leave you alone neither.
[Bridge:]
You've never ever punched a clock.
(You've never, ever)
Had any kind of 9 to 5.
(Never worked a 9 to 5)
So everyday I pray to GOD.
(I pray to GOD)
That one day you'll get off the block.
(Gotta get you off that block)
[Chorus:]
You can't leave the block alone. (Block alone)
Hustling till the break of dawn. (Break of dawn)
You're there more than you are home. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You can't leave the block alone. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hustling till the break of dawn. (Ooh, woah)
You're there more than you are home.
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone. (Can't leave it alone)
You can't leave the block alone. (Can't leave it alone)
Hustling till the break of dawn. (Ooh, woah)
You're there more than you are home. (Baby come home)
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone. (I said baby come home)
You can't leave the block alone.
Hustling till the break of dawn.
You're there more than you are home.
Can't leave it alone.
Can't leave it alone.
