I Keep My Palm On The Handle (Original Version) Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
This Herb McGruff
This right here goes out
To all the real brothers in the street
That do what they gotta do to eat
Word, fuck them cops on the beat
Check it out yo
[Hook]
Hey yo the streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
[Verse 1]
Hey yo the streets is my bread and butter
I'm slicing chumps with my metal shutter
To slump them in the ghetto gutter
'Cause where I'm from only the strong survive kid
I did about 5 bids for mad shit that I did
And any chump I buck I finish
Yo it's Gruff the menace
Straight outta 139 and fuckin' Lennox
I gots a soul yeah I'm runnin' things
Puttin' holes in niggas heads
The size of motherfuckin' onion rings
Because it's all about the cash and the turf
For those who talk trash
I'll put they ass in the earth, yeah
My line of work babe is hits and hustle
I know we hardly spend no time boo
But still and all I love you
Every single day yo I'm tired of hearin' sirens
But I gotta hit the street
'Cause the white man ain't hirin'
But that's suttin' I gotta handle
Because I'm a man who
Know the streets is a gamble
[Hook]
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
[Verse 2]
Like I said yo the street is how I eat
Police be on the beat yo but I still pack my heat
I gotta get cash and cold build up my stash
The money's coming fast but how longs its gonna last?
The streets is a gamble, but yo
I'm a gamble takin' high roller
And my turf I'm ready to die over
Nowadays you can't trust a sole
Cross Gruff and I'ma bust a hole
In your head and make you fuckin' small
You're lookin' for the enemy
They might be in your benz car
Just know who your friends are
'Cause it's all about the endz pa
But yo The Gruff is mad street wise
In all the ways my heat lies [?]
Repeat guys [?]
Welcome my pistol meet Gods [?]
Hey yo this man is known for trigger squeezin'
And leavin' niggas bleedin'
And the reason, because it's duck season
So just listen to this vandal
Who's always in some scandal, yeah
And know the streets is a gamble

[Verse 3]
Yo, it ain't no joke
When I'm broke and gettin' smoked
Throw papi in the yoke
Slit his throat to take the coke
Because that's how I'm livin' in the streets
Gruff play for keeps
Me and my peeps
Guarantee makin' sweeps
But I ain't even worried about
Those creatures in the [?] Jeeps
They rushin' leaps
On a brotha who sleeps
I'm on point like a needle
Even though I smoke the lethal
And keep the Desert Eagle
To protect me and my people
I'm know for tearin' off limbs
Never ran with soft kids
The brothas that I run with
I met through [?]
It's Herb McGruff you know the deal cops
'Cause when the steel pops
Whoever cap a peel drops
I keep it real hops
Puttin' holes in suckas like a sandal
McGruff the violent vandal, yeah
And yo the streets is a gamble
[Hook]
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
The streets is a gamble
Keep my palm on the handle
It's all about survivin'
So a brotha' gotta scramble
[Outro]
Yeah, that's how we do it in the streets
You know what I'm sayin'? Word
Yo peace to the NFL crew
Peace to my man Wayne, Don
Yo everybody you know what I'm sayin'
Word, and I'm out
