Taao - Like They Say They Do Lyrics

I used to pray God almost everyday
Then I had to jugg and rob almost every week
Then I had to find a job, the honest way
Working nine to five, all for minimum wage
So I went back to the streets to find a newer way
I got a lot of pain in my heart, yeah it aches
I got a lot of love for the niggas and bitches that hate
I got a family that I tend to appreciate
Cause no matter when I'm down yeah they got my back
And when I'm in trouble they ask "yo, where you at?"
I'm tryna make it big and change my home address
I'm tryna do for my family what I know is best
I'm so tired of always having to protect my chest
I'm so tired man I can't even rest
Life shouldn't even be like this
It's really shouldn't even be like dis
But just so you know
The streets don't love you like they say they do
And your friends don't love you like they say do
I know they say they do
The streets don't love you like they say they do
And your friends don't love you like they say do
I know they say they do
I thank my deadbeat where I'm at today
If it wasn't for him leaving then whose to say
He set an example of what I should never be
If he was there growing up that could've changed everything
But that's okay I know a bitch when I see one
When I have my kids I will never leave them
Because that's what a man does he stays by their side
When he does them wrong, he'll apologize
So imma make a promise to my daughter or son
I'll always protect you when that time comes
Cause I love you kid
So remember this
The streets don't love you like they say they do
And your friends don't love you like they say do
I know they say they do
The streets don't love you like they say they do
And your friends don't love you like they say do
I know they say they do
So remember this...
The streets don't love you like they say they do
And your friends don't love you like they say do
I know they say they do
The streets don't love you like they say they do
And your friends don't love you like they say do
I know they say they do
So remember this
