Streets Is Callin' Lyrics

(Omarion:)

uh, yea, once again

(chorus:)

I've been goin' through somethings (ohhh),
I been strugglin' with my inner man (yea, yea), I hustle, I'll do what I
can to get this money,(uh, yea, listen)I know I promised you somethings (somethings),
There's gotta be a better way,
It's not easy to make that change,
The streets keep callin' me


(verse1:)

Last night tryin' to make it home (make it home),
I get this call on my phone (on my cell),
Stop yellin' Slow down, I can't understand a word you sayin',
Did ya say my nigga got hit? (in the head),
Did ya say he didn't make it? (is he dead),
Please tell me you know who did this, I'm on my way and somebody's gonna get it
Mash the pettle on the highway-speed in',
and my baby in the back ground - pleadin,
Come home and leave it alone -
It's out of the question girl it's on
What about his new born child,
and u know that he was wild
I don't wanna hear this shit right now, when they just stretched my nigga out

(chorus)

(verse2:)

by my name sayin' how you gonna get paid,
No education equals of minimum wage,
Minimum wage equals minimum play,
And you know real niggas wanna play,
Won't you come on and move this way,
School don't garuntee a higher pay,
That's the shit that'll get me locked away,
Man they tryin' to give a nigga all day
Now I'm out here everynight comin' in late,
If you slip then I'm comin' for the take,
It's goin' fast and I need to hit the breaks,
The greater the risk the more you make,
All my thoughts are in the clouds, what about just shuttin' down,
But girl I really can't quit right now,
Notice on the door they tryin' to thow' us out

(chorus)

(hook:)

Although (although),
I was raised right (ooooo),
Still these streets aint nothin' nice they can't change the course of life,
And you know that i know (i know),
That I must grow (must grow),
See my kids grow,
But still the streets is all I know

(chorus 2x's)

B2K

B2K was an American R&B music group from Los Angeles, California with Omarion, Lil' Fizz, Raz-B and J-Boog as its members. Founded and managed by music producer Chris Stokes, they were active from 2001 until 2004 and released two albums, 2001's B2K and 2002's Pandemonium!. They also featured in the film You Got Served as a breakdancing crew, and several songs by the group were featured on the film's soundtrack album. In 2008 there were talks of a reunion, and a new song titled 'Body Up' leaked onto the internet featuring all the members except Omarion, but these rumours have never been confirmed.

Even though they were newcomers to the industry, their first LP, 2002's B2K, became an instant hit. Their second (and final) regular studio album, Pandemonium!, was released in December of the same year, and garned the US #1 hit single "Bump, Bump, Bump" and "Girlfriend". The group was featured regularly on the covers of teen magazines such as Right On! and Word Up, and released a Christmas album in-between their regular two albums entitled Santa Hooked Me Up.

In addition to that, they were featured on the soundtrack album for MGM's film Barbershop and headlined The Scream Tour, their third, in 2003. Marques Houston, Jhene, Mario and Nick Cannon were also performers on The Scream Tour.

Those who were against the california-based boy band often claimed that their music is too mainstream, thus resulting in the boy band garnering nicknames such as, "B2Gay" and "B2Fugly."

In January 2004, Chris Stokes announced that the group had broken up. Three of the members claimed financial mishandling by Stokes' management company, TUG (The Ultimate Group); the fourth member, Omarion, claimed the allegations were untrue.

In the midst of the breakup, Screen Gems's You Got Served, a film starring the members of the group and Omarion's half-brother Marques Houston as breakdancers, went into general release on January 30, 2004, and hitting number one at the box office, earned more money than any other film that opened during a Super Bowl weekend. A number of the group's songs were featured on the film's soundtrack album. Read more on Last.fm.
