The Corner [Last Poet Reprise]
Common
Memories on the corners with the fo's and the mo'sWalk to the store for the rose, talking straightforward to hoesGot uncles that smoke, and some put blow up they noseTo cope with the lows, the wind is cold and it blowsIn their socks and their soles, niggas holding they rollsCorners leave souls opened and closed, hoping for mo'With nowhere to go, niggas rolling in drovesThey shoot the wrong way, cause they ain’t knowin' their goalsThe streets ain’t safe cause they ain’t knowing the codeBy the foes I was told, either focus or foldGot cousins with flows, hope they open some doorsSo we can cop clothes and roll in a RollsNow I roll in a Olds, with windows that don’t rollDown the roads where cars get broken and stoleThese are the stories told by Stony and Cottage GroveThe world is cold, the block is hot as a stoveOn the cornersI wish I could give you this feelingI wish I could give this feelingOn the corners niggas rob or killAnd dying just to make a living, huh?We overstated, we underrated, we educatedThe corner was our time when time stood still andGators and snakeskins andYellow and pink and profilesStreet lights and deep nights, cats trying to eat rightRiding no-seat-bikes, with work to feed hypesSo they can get sweet Nike's, they head and they feet rightDesires of street life, cars and weed typesIt’s hard to breathe nights, days are thief-likeThe beasts roam the streets, the police is Greek-likeGame at its peak, we speak and believe hypeBang in the streets hats cocked left or deep rightIt’s steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-likeRappers and hoopers, we strive to be likeG's with three strikes, seeds that need lightCheese and recite, needs and BE strifeThe corner, where struggle and greed fightWe write songs about wrong ‘cause it’s hard to see rightLook to the sky, hoping it will bleed lightReality's a bitch, and I heard that she bitesThe cornerI wish I could give you this feelingI wish I could give this feelingOn the corners niggas rob or killAnd dying just to make a living, huh?The corner was our magic, our music, our politicsFires raised as tribal dances and war criesBroke out on different cornersPower to the peopleBlack powerBlack is beautifulBlack church services, murderers, Arabs serving burgersAs cats with gold permanents, move they bags as herbalistsThe dirt isn’t just fertile, it’s people working and earning thisThe curb getters go where the cash flow and the current isIt’s so hot that niggas burn to liveThe furnace is, where the money moving, the determined liveWe talk shit, play lotto, and buy German beersIt’s so black packed with action that's affirmativeThe cornersI wish I could give you this feelingI wish I could give this feelingOn the corners niggas rob or killAnd dying just to make a living, huh?The corner was our Rock of Gibraltar, our StonehengeOur Taj Mahal, our monumentOur testimonial to freedom, to peace, and to loveDown on the corner
