Lyrics:

[Introduction: Prodigy]
Yeah
There's a lot of crazy things going out here, man
We say 'no' to, we're so used to, we don't talk about it
We just live our day, we live our life
You know but some how I feel compelled to talk about it, you know?

[Hook: Dion]
A lot of money got made, drugs got sold
Lives got took on these corners so cold, oh!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

Every ghetto in America is all the same
Chasing after money got us all insane, no!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

[Verse 1: Havoc]
Uh, I look back and reflect doing a hundred pass
Thinking about it got me have me on the gas
Vivid is the picture coded in my D.N.A.,
Mammy bless her heart, as we walked out the door... she would pray for us
Knew that Jake was on us, Dex Stack... against us
Same shit to foretold it

Another life flushed down the canal
Left the house without saying goodbye and didn't come home
It's all too common and probably me if it wasn't for Roman
I put that on my brother who was wilding with the iron

The hood is full of life but inside niggers dying
Instead of prosperity only jealousy's thriving
Street lights...makeshift memorials
Know how the story goes, I ain't trying to bore you though
I'm just trying to she'd a little light, y'all
Job done, even if I save only one life, listen

[Hook: Dion]
A lot of money got made, drugs got sold
Lives got took on these corners so cold, oh!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

Every ghetto in America is all the same
Chasing after money got us all insane, no!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Missing dark tunnel vision the light at the end damages
Damn is anybody listening? I'm talking to myself again
We so close but yet it seems so far
It's like ten steps back and just one step forward

Just one more push and sixteen more bars
Comes to the dreams we had, the life we want
If these blood sweat and tears could talk, they'd be arguing
With the look in our eyes saying all and this is...

There's Bark and some sniffing, that bone in your head, get shattered like windshield
Now how that shit feel?
Yeah you got a lot of nerve, you deserve a brawl
But that pain and that [Inaudible] when you playing with the mob

Can't you see we concentrating on this baking
Lot of lives got taken, lot of time spent in the cages
So we spend our days doing whatever must be done to become
The ones that steady burn like the sun because...

[Hook: Dion]
A lot of money got made, drugs got sold
Lives got took on these corners so cold, oh
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

Every ghetto in America is all the same
Chasing after money got us all insane, no!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

[Hook: Dion]
I can tell you about some shit you don't really wanna hear
Some many disappear out here
One time I saw a man with a gun
Chasing another nigger trying to run

And even know they grew up on the same block
He ain't hesitate to gun him down in the same spot
The nigger that you knew from elementary
Will make your ass unsolved mystery?

[Hook: Dion]
A lot of money got made, drugs got sold
Lives got took on these corners so cold, oh!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?

Every ghetto in America is all the same
Chasing after money got us all insane, no!
Imagine if these street lights, could talk and tell the story of the street life?
