Artist: La the Darkman Album: The Notorious L.A.D. Song: A Nigga from the Street Typed by: pneumatic [Intro: La the Darkman] Yeah, L.A.D, Uhh, Yeah, Uhh. [La the Darkman] Growin up I was raised around guns and drugs Hustlers gettin money and neighborhood thugs If they catch you slippin they'll hit you with slugs Cut you up, Like they wearin OJ gloves Almost lost my career off of liquor and beer Hash and that haze had a nigga in a daze For days, I was baggin up O's for real Round the time Bill Cosby's son got killed On the side of the road I was tryin to control All the drugs in my hood that got sold I was givin fiends two for ten, Three for twenties Spots open all night so you know I made plenty Around six-thirty A.M. I would go and get some Denny's Pancakes and hash browns, Orange juice wash it down Then I'm back in the trap, Work forty-eight hours Bought some towels from the dollar store I could take a shower right there in the spot Told my man to keep watch, Gave him the sack Told him to serve whoever came to cop In and out in a flash, Put some water on my ass Tryna wake up, Hustle till the next day pass Cause I need the cash, For so many reasons And to get it, Aint got a problem with a nigga bleedin Yeah I know it's fucked up, America's fucked up The Government's fucked up, The President's fucked up So I do what I gotta, To make that buck I believe in hard work I don't believe in luck Nigga my name gone buzz like lightning struck Find a bitch, Give her long dick to suck, This La [Chorus: La the Darkman] Let me tell you little somethin bout a nigga from the street I hustle twenty-four, Cause I gotta eat Let me tell you little somethin bout a nigga from the street I hustle twenty-four, Cause I gotta eat Talk about It, I gotta get it aint nobody gonna give it Talk about It, I gotta get it aint nobody gonna give it Talk about It, I gotta get it aint nobody gonna give it Talk about It, I gotta get it aint nobody gonna give it, Nigga
