Aye-aye (Devil just tryna be seen, June, you're a genius)
That right? (Devil just tryna be—)
Mm, okay
The devil just tryna be seen (The devil just tryna be seen)
You can't be falling asleep
That shit'll turn to a nightmare now (Nightmare)
Just imagine he pop up in your dreams (Mm), uh
Shit, I had to turn to a fiend (Fiend, yeah, fiend)
That shit turned me to a beast (Beast on the streets and I go), ha

[Chorus]
Beast on the streets and I— Yeah (That shit turned me to a beast)
Beast on the streets and they know it
Beast on the streets and they know it (That shit turned me to a beast)
Beast on the streets and you know it
Beast in the streets and you know it

[Verse 1]
Lil' homie poppin' pills
Broke in the building to see what he could steal (Boostin')
Product of being left in the field
Need a vest, rifle, and a shield (Boom)
Image of a murder I don't wanna see
Nigga too young to have a will (Ooh)
Peace (Peace), I'm blessed (Blessed)
I'm strapped (Strapped), no less (Uh)
Don't try it (Uh)
It might be your day to die, you can go to rest (Uh)
The rest, they go march in Dickies (Dickies)
Got a whole palm full of blickies
Ain't no room for them pickets
Yeah, uh (Uh)
Niggas still saying fuck 12 (12)
Niggas still saying fuck Candice (Fuck Candice)
Niggas still saying fuck Karen (Fuck)
Yeah, vicariously
Being a kingpin was something that was cool to be (Tell 'em)
It's therapy
Turn a racist to a motherfuckin' eulogy (Brr)

[Chorus]
Beast on the streets and I— Yeah (Woo)
Beast on the streets and they know it (Uh)
Beast on the streets and they know it (Right)
Beast on the streets and you know it (Uh, uh-oh, yeah)
Beast in the streets and you know it (Yeah, in the streets and you know, yeah)
Beast in the streets and you know it (Yeah)
(Beast in the streets and they—) Oh, right there? (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I— I got your flavor of choice (What?)
Hit you in the face with a Porsche (What?)
Jumped off the porch a lil' early (Early)
Forty got thirty like Curry (Fah, fah)
You can get flatlined
Basically 'bout time (Yeah, 'bout time)
Better be 'bout yours, 'cause I'm really 'bout mines ('Bout mines)
Wanna commit a crime
So I ain't the one cryin' (I ain't the one cryin')
I'm in alliance with the higher
Shooters want a job and they get hired (Hired)
But I'm a shooter, nigga
I'll shoot your shooter, nigga, 'til I get tired (Uh, huh)
Talk that bando shit (Bando, bando)
Did that, get locked up, get out
Nigga, they can't tell me shit (Can't tell me shit)
I done work hard for that
Know how many my dawgs barked for this (Barked, woo)
I don't need to borrow shit
This right now, no tomorrow shit (Right now, boom, yeah)

[Chorus]
Beast on the streets and I— Yeah (Beast on the streets and I—)
Beast on the streets and they know it (Uh)
Beast on the streets and they know it (Beast)
Beast on the streets and you know it (Uh, beast, beast)
Beast in the streets and you know it (Yeah, beast on the streets and you know, ah)
Beast in the streets and you know it
