[Hook: Proverb & Reason]
I eat to it, sleep to it, speak fluent, Street Music
Emcee to it, EQ it, preview it, Street Music
Force feed you with, reach you with, teach you with, Street music
Rock a beat to it, Street Music
Spark a free to it, Street Music
I eat to it, sleep to it, speak fluent, Street Music
Emcee to it, EQ it, preview it, Street Music
Force feed you with, reach you with, teach you with, Street music
Rock a beat to it, Street Music
Spark a free to it, Street Music
[Verse 1: Proverb]
I don’t speak for the streets
Nor do I speak about the streets
The streets speak for themselves
And I just be the mouth piece
I keep my ear to the street
Until it’s clear what they speak
And then word for word I repeat what I hear to a beat
See, I'm connecting headphones to the curb
Until I’ve heard like most of the words
And those words are told to the world
Then I get the credit when the credit should go to the hood
I keep a Street Journal called the definition of Verb
'Cause if I could I would
Put the whole hood in the booth
Straight out the horses mouth
That way you would know it’s the truth
They say the street’s watching
That just means I’m looking at you
And blacks don’t read
That’s why I wrote my book to a tune
See I got respect for the streets in the first place
The streets is my birthplace
And the streets moveme like an earthquake
I’ve paid the streets the dues I owe 'em
Now my album’s like a road map
'Cause I show you where the streets is going

[Verse 2: Proverb]
I see the world through a street’s eye view
Living a street life, like the Connel I’m streetwise too
I’m the street’s hope
And at least most emcee’s know
That anew street pope’s been chosen
You see the smoke
See I’m street like an avenue
Bringing the streets at you
That’s why my album is
Selling at street value
The streets get a perspective
Of a street rep
And I’ll never be in debt with the streets
Cause of my street cred
I keep the heads posted on
Deep street secrets
Flyer than a leaflet
When rhyming what the street said
I’m going all out like an extremist
To sow into streets then
Future generations can reap it
I Give a new meaning to street kid
Keeping the street lit
I’m a lamp post keeping the streets lit
Just so long as the beats tight
We recite and we write
Freestyle till the deep of night
Under the street light
[Hook: Proverb & Reason]

[Verse 3: Reason]
Being successful in the game is like Bagdad
Sure stuff
You actually have to be in the Streets to blow up
If that ain’t the case then your status they won’t budge
Getting to the top with no stepping stones, there’s no such
See when it comes to bringing the message my flows rush
Taking care of someone else’s mess like tow trucks
I know much, too much to make you fools blush
So like LL cool J I’m about to make your crews Hush
Shut up! 'Cause I’m a subject of the East Rand
I’m an architectural lyricist with street plans
The industry ain’t go half of what the streets have
So stuff a can of whip ass and open a can of sweet Jams
Cause your food for thought I cook with these hands
And your useless cheesy thoughts
I burn with these pads
This is Reason the Mas taking a brief stand
P.R.O verb we dedicate this to the streets man
Hah…
