Street Lights
by Philmore Greene

Verse 1:
Searching for a better meaning
I need life the way you give it to me
The way of the world it gave this whole vision to me
Eat veggies feed the babies God came and took me
John Marshall 01’ never playing hooky
The best, Philly was movin’ through the PM
Half moon 7/11 fiends I seen em’
Pops in the BM, 7-4-5 live
Doing 80 up the J as I watch the world glide suicide, move aside police lights dancing
Cicero’s jammin’ for that filthy romancing
Ambulances, it’s bloody murder on the boulevards
The feds camе at 4 a.m. for nggas movin’ hard
Mothers walking over junkies with babiеs it’s ugly
They killed Washington to move in Daley, it’s crazy
Every corner hot as hades
It’s on incentive to everything and that’s fuck you pay me

Hook:
When the street lights come on
Anything can happen in the city that we call home
Trying to dodge the reaper reap the benefits and income
City still tipping tip the scales praying freedom is the outcome
When the street lights come on
Anything can happen in the city that we come from
This is for niggas fighting bids trying to come home
Sitting on appeals tipping scales praying freedom is the outcome
When the street lights come on…
When the street lights come on…

Verse 2:
It’s all about catching the feeling the 7’s is building
I’m running like my life depended on it Philly be next to a million
It’s precious, take my daughter from the way that I’m living
The blessings, teach her the hustle take her straight through the ceiling
Then boom, who knows I can be gone pretty soon
A tycoon the gems I’ll leave will take her straight through the moon
The city life, I swear this shit will eat you alive
You can get a double masters what it teach you at 5
Street-ology, Gee-ology
The ideology is Philly meets Socrates
I swear they need to honor me
We suppress bad feelings via the ganja leaf
I’m comfortable where the hookers, hoes, killers and monsters be
The nighttime smell it in the air
Stick up kids lurking pull the burner never stare
Welfare, SNAP benefits, child support & free cheese
Stand on your feet & never your knees
