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 fuck 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 fuck 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 fuck 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 may be nice but I could fuck 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
