The Sidewalks lyrics

[Verse 1] {J-Live}
Yo, I grew up on the chill side
The no big deal side
And staying alive was no problem
The upper east side
Projects and condos
Somewhere in between downtown and Harlem
It's not quite accurate to claim how
Either side was ever either all this or all that
Some project apartments be decked out fat
Some condos still packed with roaches and rats
But if New York is a concrete Jungle
My old earth kept me in the zoo where it wasn't so wild
Who wouldn't want to find a way to make it safe for a child
As a teenager I learned to escape for awhile
But you know what they say being out of your element
Whether giraffe, monkey, lion, or elephant
In school they said I was on the right track
But in the school of hard knocks I'd have got left back
Nowadays no knocks get left
My left knocks back
Some say might makes right
So my rights ain't light
But whether giving beatdowns or getting down on beat
You're not likely to see me or consider me street
