Lyrics
The streets like a ocean that shit get so deep

I wanna fall in love but I get cold feet
Expressing a desire for love but feeling hesitant or anxious about it.
My dawgs watchin from da sky they in the nosebleeds
Referring to deceased friends observing from the afterlife, symbolically in the "nosebleeds" or distant place.
I ain't have to choose this street shit it chose me
The speaker feels compelled into a life involving street activities; it was not a conscious choice.
When I heard Roman died that shit froze me
The death of someone named Roman had a profound impact, causing emotional paralysis.
Grab me like I grab l grab my gun need you to hold me
In moments of distress, the speaker seeks comfort in their gun, metaphorically asking for support.
You say won't never leave that's what you told me
A plea for reassurance and commitment from a significant other who promised not to leave.

Too much of this pain I gotta put it in a song
Transforming personal pain into a song as a form of expression and coping.
They only think about you when they say you dead and gone
People often acknowledge and appreciate individuals after they have passed away.
You live by da gun but I know some don't make it home
Recognition of the risks associated with a lifestyle tied to violence.
Used to make it home before the street lights
Nostalgia for a time when one could return home before the onset of street-related activities at night.
One wrong turn and it lead to the street life
Highlighting the fragility of life and the potential consequences of a single wrong decision.
Four jail phone calls today this shit can't be right
An indication of frequent communication with incarcerated friends or family.
Stay strong and hold on it's gone be alright
Encouragement to remain resilient and optimistic in challenging situations.
Shit just say what's on yo mind
An invitation for honesty and openness in communication.
I got dawgs in the graveyard, the others doin time
Acknowledgment of friends who have passed away or are serving time in prison.
But when they ask me ima say I'm fine

Bean in a dark place sun don't shine

One day we gone all ball nomo jail calls I can't wait til they set you free
