Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I'm walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I be walkin' down the backstreets)
Yo, here goes some info on my flow and how I move
To a def groove, I keep my rep smooth
On the down-low, I travel with my mind to the street
Concrete, like the gravel I'm in deep
So I gotta hit ya from a real perspective
'Cause anyone who's talkin' that crap, will surely get his
I'm not the one to act flashy
'Cause man where I be at, we don't have to be classy
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I'm walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I be walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(Walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I be walkin' down the backstreets)
Check it stupid, while you're out there on the main streets frontin'
Your game's week, so I'm huntin' you down clown
'Cause you need to learn somethin'
All that bluffin', won't get you nothin' but killed
No mission fulfilled because there's others who will get jealous
Hell if they can take clout from you, they'll do it
So that's what I'm about to do
I'll step to it and strip you of your pride
And then I'll stick and I'll rip you up from all sides
Or possibly I'll let you slide, slime
'Cause you'll set your own death in just a matter of time
Yeah, and I'll be somewhere on the sidelines, you know
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(Walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I be walkin' down the backstreets)
So when you're lookin' for me, here's where I'll be
I'll be walkin' down the backstreets in your vicinity
'Cause I been out here for a few
So all that you're doin', ain't really nothin' new
I peeped the way you always perpetrate
You're so phony, you make me wanna regurgitate
Since you're ridin' so high, you're bound to fall
While I stand tall, and you don't get no props at all out here
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(Walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(I be walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(Walkin' down the backstreets)
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
Down the backstreets, down the backstreets
(It's the backstreets, in your backstreets)
Down the backstreets is a mind state
'Cause I don't have to be a pop star to rhyme great
I've been out here observin' things
So now all fake gangsters and pranksters I'm servin'
You know what I'm sayin'? I'm the king
Come down the backstreets where it's dark
I'm a snatch your heart
So get a handle on life and quit livin' so trife
Or else we're gonna have to run up, and smack all the weak
Comin' straight from the backstreets
And I'm out, ninety-three, it's all me
