Street Dreams Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Get it how you live it, bitch, we livin' dirty
And most of us that's livin' now ain't livin' thirty
Get it how you live it, bitch, we livin' dirty
Cock that .38, put on my mask and it gets blurry
I don't think you heard me

[Chorus]
What I need a shirt for?
When you beast shit and you go hard 'til that tour's gone
And you back onto that street shit

What-what-what I need this shirt for?
When these tattoos that I bleed with
Say everything about my story, come read this now

What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? What I need a shirt for?
When I go hard, so hard, to get everything that I worked for

[Verse 2]
At the top is no friends, dog
At the bottom ain't shit, dog

Middle man and ain't it, dog
Plotting, drinkin' this Hen', dog
And I said, Lord my savior (My savior)
Have I not protected my neighbor? (My neighbor)
Have I not neglected these haters? (These haters)
Have I not kept you in my prayers?

So when my life keeps going downhill
Am I wrong for looking upstairs?

Am I wrong for feeling you hate me?
Am I wrong for thinking you'd care?

Am I wrong for keepin' this weed lit?
And these smoke clouds in this air?
But I can't sleep without my mind gone
'Cause of shit I witnessed last year

That boy that left out was just family
I ain't see the shit comin'
We was supposed to be at these Grammys
We was supposed to be stunting
Shit, we was supposed to somethin'
Fuck that, we was supposed to be brothers
Helped you out when you were strugglin'
I don't owe you nothin', motherfucker
[Chorus]
What I need a shirt for? (Shirt for)
When you beast shit and you go hard 'til that tour's gone
And you back onto that street shit

What-what-what I need this shirt for? (Shirt for)
When these tattoos that I bleed with
Say everything about my story, come read this now
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? Huh?
What I need a shirt for? What I need a shirt for?
When I go hard, so hard, to get everything that I worked for

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
