These Streets - Tanya Stephens

INTRO

You know, I can still remember when it was just me and you,

Suddenly, it turned you and your crew… forget everything bout your 'Boo'

Ah boy

VERSE 1

I wish you woulda treat me like your glock, I woulda love it if you keep me pon

cock

I wish you woulda treat me like your yacht, keep me wet while the waves dem a

rock

Why you cant stay pon me like the corner, keep your lips pon me like your

marijuana

I woulda love it if you treat me like the club, stay up inna me whole night

just a bump 'n grind 'n rub

You dont understand what your woman needs from her man

While you deh pon the streets all the time, just bear this in mind

HOOK

These streets dont love you like I do, you need fi know that

You wanna keep your woman loving you then you need fi show that

The love we have weh did take so much effort fi build, you about fi blow that

But just like a played out jersey, you about fi get throwback

VERSE 2

I wish you woulda treat me like a ounce, me know you nah leggo that when you

bounce

You shoulda deh home a knock boots like your Tims, need fi act older than the

size a yuh rims

I wish you woulda stay pon me like the phone man, never leave the house without

me like your chrome man

I wish you woulda treat me like your whips, your girl’s a perfect 10 but your

Benz dem a only a 5 and a 6

You dont understand what your woman needs from her man

While you deh pon the streets all the time, just bear this in mind

(Repeat Hook)

VERSE 3

Now the feds have them case and the gavel a pound, me a look fi a familiar face

me no see none around

When you call me collect a gi mi errands fi do me nuh see no hot gal me nuh see

none of your 'crew'

Government seize everything, the G’s everything and another baller done take

over the spot

A run trees everything, the keys, everything and 10 calls a month is all you’ve

got saying

Now you understand what your woman needs from her man

While you deh pon the streets all the time you shoulda bear this in mind

CHANT

Say the streets dem nuh give a damn, bang diddly bang

A just the place weh you peddle pon

Nuh fall in love with the corner, you cant say me never warn you
