Lyrics:

[Chorus: Michel’le]
You can run tha streetz with your thugs
I’ll be waitin’ for you
Until you get through
I’ll be waitin’
You can run tha streetz with your thugs (don’t look at me like that)
I’ll be waitin’ for you (that’s right)
(let me go with my niggas)
Until you get through
I’ll be waitin’

[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Now that I reminisce on my reflection
Close to perfection as a nigga can get
Without protection you never tripped
And even tho we had our fights, dinner every night
I’m cussing and fussin’ like it’s impossible to get it right
Time alone away from home cause I can do bad on my own
Lookin’ for more than just another bone
Will I be happy now I’m grown
It seems we have a problem with jealously
Cause you interruptin’ while I’m on the phone
I got some bidness to handle so baby understand
Can’t spend my whole life up under you, I’m a grown man
Could you respect me if I wasn’t driven
All up in prison or even worse just barely livin’
So sympathize cause my motto was baby pimp or die
Still strivin’ for thuggin’ till I die, so simplify
I need some time to get my head straight trust in me
When I finally be you’ll be my queen
Just let me run tha streetz
[Chorus: Michel’le]
You can run tha streetz with your thugs (hahaha yea, nigga)
I’ll be waitin’ for you (let a nigga hang out with the homies, you know babe)
Until you get through (eh, a nigga that hang out more will come home and love you better)
I’ll be waitin’ (feel me baby)
You can run tha streetz with your thugs (let that nigga be free)
I’ll be waitin’ for you (don’t have that nigga all up on you)
Until you get through (let me run tha streetz boo)
I’ll be waitin’

[Verse 3: Mutah/Napoleon]
I’d rather run tha streetz to make some mail
And put tha game down tight
For these gamin’ bitches could get it right
It might be a plan that i’m choosin’
Don’t get in confusion
Because I’m known for showin’ examples
How I do it
Thinkin’ I’m new to this
Because I’m younger
Where I’ll only leave you suspicious and to wonder
And at tha end I make a come up
Nigga, was raised up
Off of M.O.B
Fighting over somethin’
That’s tellin’ me don’t run tha streetz

[Verse 4: 2Pac]
So tell me am I wrong?
For tryin’ to communicate through a song
I’m up early in tha morning
By sunrise I’ll be gone
All my homies is waitin’ for me
Plottin’ on plans that we made
And all tha fun that it’s gonna be
So meet me at 3′
And don’t be late nigga
We hangin’ out all night
While drinkin’ straight liquor
I heard it’s poppin’ at a club
But they say I can’t get in
Cause i’m dressed like a thug
Until I die
I’ll be game related
Got me strivin’ for a million
Stayin’ motivated
Now that we made it
It’s a battle
Just for tha big money
I’m livin’ wild
No smiles
Cause ain’t a thing funny
I came up hungry
Just a little nigga
Tryin’ to make it
I only got one chance
So I gotta take it
Ya never know when it’s all gonna happen
Tha rappin’ or tha drugs
But until then
Give me love
And let me Run tha Streetz

[Chorus/Outro: Michel’le & (2Pac) ]
You can run tha streetz with your thugs (Let a nigga run the streets boo)
I’ll be waitin’ for you (I hate you, hehehe)
Until you get through
(I call you back, Just let me hang with my niggas)
I’ll be waitin’ (Why you actin’ like that Michel’le?)
You can run tha streetz with your thugs (Huh, you know a nigga wanna kick it with this homeboyz and shit)
I’ll be waitin’ for you (I told you I was comin’ back later on right)
Until you get through (You say you don’t believe a nigga?)
I’ll be waitin’ (Just cook for a nigga)
You can run tha streetz with your thugs
I’ll be waiting for you
Until you get through
I’ll be waitin’
(Pleaseeeeeeeee, make some of that shit you made last week)
(Some of them ribs and shit, I be back through later tonight)
(I’m a have some weed, we fin to drink some hennessy and some alize )
You can run tha streetz with your thugs…
