What happens when the geek meets the street?
I said, what happens when the geek meets the street?
I'm a geek livin' hard on the streets
Two sides distinct but together we complete
One side knowledge, other side realness
Makes me, the one that you cannot mess with
I walk through the ghetto and I feel no fear
I speak the truth, the stuff they don't wanna hear
I take my skills, parlay it into a career
I'm so distressed cause I lost a lot of peers
I play video games and I drink 40 ounces
Old English, all I do is down it
I dress and act like I want to be seen
To be a hip-hop rapper, it has always been my dream
I'm conflicted between being good or being bad
Makes me wish that they could understand
What it's like when a geek is born street
I'm the next generation, cue the Paramount peak
I'm what happens when the geek and the streets combine
I got two sides, two personas, two different minds
I may be nice but I could f*ck you up
I may be humble but don't you press my luck
I may dress urban and use ghetto slang
That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with my brain
I'm just that way cause hip-hop raised me
A nerd who can emcee, just my identity
Smash
This what happens when the geek meets the streets
They fuse together, reign forever while lookin' like me
Get the trucks to f*ck you up if you're askin' for beef
Mix it in with my rhymin' watching DBZ
Fake gangsta's getting psyche because of all the lights
They still wack on these tracks, I don't get all the hype
Hip-hop is my life, not a stereotype
Radio Raheem, y'all don't know what it's like
To get told that you can't cause you blend in the night
To like anime and get told that you're white
A pacifist to pass a fist or else it's your life
I'm the geek from the streets, I've been through the fights
Never really drink beer, I just sip on some saki
Turn up with OG, we the life of the party
Get a sunkist chick with a breast like Nami
Grew up with Toonami, now they're calling me Kami
I'm what happens when the geek and the streets combine
I got two sides, two personas, two different minds
I may be nice but I could f*ck you up
I may be humble but don't you press my luck
I may dress urban and use ghetto slang
That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with my brain
I'm just that way cause hip-hop raised me
A nerd who can emcee, just my identity
I'm what happens when the geek and the streets combine
I got two sides, two personas, two different minds
I may be nice but I could f*ck you up
I may be humble but don't you press my luck
I may dress urban and use ghetto slang
That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with my brain
I'm just that way cause hip-hop raised me
A nerd who can emcee, just my identity
