I guess that I was lucky
My father was druggie
When he was at his highest
He took everything from me
But when he sobered up
He always showed he love me
He always prove he love me
He told me that hustle is all about the effort
And if you feel the drought, then get out of the desert
Then get out of the desert
I started hanging with some soldiers in the same boat
Some of em went to prison
Some of em selling dope
I always kept a lyric book and kept writing notes
Good boy turned bad kept writing quotes
We was a tight click, running with the crips
And everything was lit, until they shot Rick
Some blood n****s killed Rick

Sometimes I wonder
Just where I'd be
If I did not
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street

I guess that I was lucky
My father learned from his
He saw decisions that you make are gonna train your kids
So now I rap for the trappers and ones who never got it
Who hope they finally get rich because they never bought it
And maybe sometimes they do but damn who would've thought it
Now you role modeling for the kids who seek it how you sought it
They see the right way to do it but fight it how you fought it
And when they finally reach the top they'll see you really not it
But I'm not taking that path I take my own way
They ask me which way is that
Man that's the Jones way
I got all my life organized like it was feng shui
I'm a raise destiny's child like its beyonce
I'm a make my mama proud like it was 2 Vhainz
I'm a hit em with all my specials like I was Lui Kang
Even when the haters go doubt and try to bring pain
I'm a stay smarter than them like I got 2 brains

Sometimes I wonder
Just where I'd be
If I did not
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street

For the third verse we can time travel to an old year
1994 yeah we can go there
Where the homies were in jail or just trying to go there
I'm talkin guns, knives, take lives, they would go there
But thats the end result when your raised by a player
And the fun parks said you could even walk in pairs
We walked through the mall and everybody would stare
Thats we were aware this life ain't fair
Cause your just another number and cares
Plus nodoby shares unless you maximize shares
They killed MLK, they even killed the Care Bears
They tried kill Big Bird but that n**** wasn't playing
If yal can save him why can't you stop the sensless slaying
This stuff be racking my brain
Like I dont understand
It makes me feel like Forrest Gump
I'm not a smart man
But I know what loves is
So this is for the kids like

Sometimes I wonder
Just where I'd be
If I did not
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street

Sometimes I wonder
Just where I'd be
If I did not
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
Get off the street
