Chronicles of the streetlights
Chapter one
(uh)

Diamond is seventeen building like she's twenty-three
all of the guys she meet pretty much all say the same thing
promising a way out
(Lil momma listen, I can make you a star)
with all the game they putting her in
it's not a wonder she can't hear her screaming "hold on"
don't let yourself be fooled, you know better
last time we saw diamond in a mini skirt getting into some mans car
that's the last we heard the streetlights

[Chorus]
If these streetlights could tell what they see
Everyone with a different story
Maybe then we could find a way to make it right
and not be another story for the streetlights

Teddy need to come up fast
no stranger to struggling
never known an easy path
plus Tasha's pregnant again
Teddy in the bathroom
htting his hands like
(What I'm gonna do now lord)
so he goes down to the cornerstore
in a hoodie with a 44
(We screaming "Hold On")
don't let yourself be fooled you know better
last time we saw teddy in the news outlined in chalk shot dead
that's the last we heard the streetlights

[Chorus]
If these streetlights could tell what they see
Everyone with a different story
Maybe then we could find a way to make it right
and not be another story for the streetlights

Don't you be another one
(Yeah)
all the pain we've seen the darkest nightmares
come from murders dreams
don't you be
(Said don't you be another one)
(Hey)
Use your mind in all you do
don't let us tell a story bout you, you, you , you.

[Chorus]
If these streetlights could tell what they see
Everyone with a different story
Maybe then we could find a way to make it right
and not be another story for the streetlights

[Chorus]
If these streetlights could tell what they see
Everyone with a different story
Maybe then we could find a way to make it right
and not be another story for the streetlights
