The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
When we was young we didn't see this
Night time was so intriguing
Yeah
But it's not a place for young Child
At night time the streets so wild
We grew up playing cops and robbers
To end up being cops and robbers
Real guns real charges
Real slums narcotics
Dealings is what we involved with
Got a pay the bills f*ck college
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
When we was young we didn't see this
Night time was so intriguing
Yeah
But it's not a place for young Child
At night time the streets so wild
We grew up playing hide and go seek
To help us learn how to hide from the police
Police brutality is running rampant right now
Seems like every other day a black man is gun down
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
When we was young we didn't see this
Night time was so intriguing
Yeah
But it's not a place for young Child
At night time the streets so wild
We grew up playing freeze tag
Sometimes we grow up too fast
Sometimes we grow up too fast
I mean we grow up too fast
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
The street lights on
I think it's time to go home
It's about to get crazy
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
Mama don't want the streets to raise me
