[00:04.079]Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh
[00:13.000]
[00:15.838]Memories on corners with the fo's and the mo's
[00:18.423]Walk to the store for the rose, talkin' straightforward to hoes
[00:21.313]Got uncles that smoke, and some put blow up they nose
[00:24.491]To cope with the lows, the wind is cold and it blows
[00:27.854]In they socks and they soles, niggas holdin' they rolls
[00:30.452]Corners leave souls opened and closed, hopin' for mo'
[00:34.088]With nowhere to go, niggas rollin' in droves
[00:36.923]They shoot the wrong way, 'cause they ain't knowin' they goals
[00:40.109]The streets ain't safe 'cause they ain't knowin' the code
[00:43.290]By the foes I was told: "either focus or fold"
[00:46.323]Got cousins with flows, hope they open some doors
[00:49.080]So we can cop clothes and roll in a Rolls
[00:52.306]Now I roll in a Olds, with windows that don't roll
[00:55.254]Down the roads where cars get broken and stole
[00:58.422]These are the stories told by Stony and Cottage Grove
[01:01.862]The world is cold, the block is hot as a stove
[01:04.683]On the corners
[01:05.371]
[01:05.583]I wish I could give you this feelin'
[01:07.755]I wish I could give you this feelin', uh-uh
[01:10.732]Uh-uh-ugh, on the corners, niggas robbin', killin'
[01:14.067]Dyin', just to make a living, huh? (Huh?)
[01:16.556]
[01:16.756]We overstated, we underrated, we educated
[01:19.741]The corner was our time when time stood still and
[01:23.123]Gators and snakeskins in
[01:24.743]Yellow and pink and collared blue
[01:27.275]Profiles glorifying them
[01:28.577]
[01:29.127]Street lights and deep nights, cats tryin' to eat right
[01:32.309]Ridin' no-seat-bikes, with work to feed hypes
[01:35.274]So they can keep sweet Nike's, they head and they feet right
[01:38.366]Desires of street life, cars and weed types
[01:41.446]It's hard to breathe nights, days are thief-like
[01:44.479]The beasts roam the streets, the police is Greek-like
[01:47.612]Game at its peak, we speak and believe hype
[01:50.632]Bang in the streets hats cocked left or deep right
[01:53.653]It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
[01:56.708]Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
[01:59.893]G's with three stripes, seeds that need light
[02:02.886]Cheese and recite, needs and BE strife
[02:06.020]The corner, where struggle and greed fight
[02:08.476]We write songs about wrong 'cause it's hard to see right
[02:12.228]Look to the sky, hopin' it will bleed light
[02:15.139]Reality's a bitch, and I heard that she bites
[02:18.164]The corner
[02:18.777]
[02:19.102]I wish I could give you this feelin'
[02:21.309]I wish I could give you this feelin', uh-uh
[02:24.116]Uh-uh-ugh, on the corners, niggas robbin', killin'
[02:27.550]Dyin', just to make a living, huh? (Huh?)
[02:30.271]
[02:31.271]Uh, the corner was our magic, our music, our politics
[02:34.486]Fires raised as tribal dances and war cries
[02:38.076]Broke out on different corners
[02:39.957]Power to the people
[02:41.160]Black power
[02:41.874]Black is beautiful
[02:42.233]
[02:42.767]Black church services, murderers, Arabs servin' burgers
[02:45.740]As cats with gold permanents move they bags as herbalists
[02:48.844]The dirt isn't just fertile, it's people workin' and earnin' this
[02:52.051]The curb getters go where the cash flow and the current is
[02:55.271]It's so hot that niggas burn to live
[02:58.289]The furnace is, where the money movin', the determined live
[03:01.899]We talk shit, play lotto, and buy German beers
[03:04.982]It's so black packed with action that's affirmative
[03:07.585]The corners
[03:08.011]
[03:08.315]I wish I could give you this feelin'
[03:10.541]I wish I could give you this feelin', uh-uh
[03:13.282]Uh-uh-ugh, on the corners, niggas robbin', killin'
[03:16.650]Dyin', just to make a living, huh? (Huh?)
[03:18.777]
[03:19.556]The corner was our Rock of Gibraltar, our Stonehenge
[03:23.191]Our Taj Mahal, our monument
[03:25.777]Our testimonial to freedom, to peace, and to love
[03:31.065]Down on the corne
