uh, yea, once again
[chorus:]
I've been goin' through somethings (ohhh),
I been strugglin' with my inner man (yea,yea), I hustle, I'll do what I
can to get this money,(uh,yea,listen)I know I promised you somethings (somethings),
There's gotta be a better way,
It's not easy to make that change,
The streets keep callin' me
[verse1:]
Last night I'm tryin' to make it home (make it home),
I get this call on my phone (on my cell),
Stop yellin' Slow down, I can't understand a word you sayin',
Did ya say my nigga got hit? (is he dead),
Did ya say he didn't make it? (is he dead),
Please tell me you know who did this, I'm on my way and somebody's gonna get it
Mash the pettle on the highway-seen him,
Heard my baby in the back ground - pleanin,
Come home and leave it alone -
It's out of the question girl it's on
What about his new boy child,
Did ya know that he was born?
I don't wanna hear this shit right now, when they just stretched my nigga out
[chorus]
[verse2:]
Call my name sayin' how you gonna get paid,
No education cuz of minimum wage,
Minimum wage equals minimum pay,
And you know real niggas wanna play,
Won't you come on and move this way,
School don't garuntee a higher pay,
That's the shit that'll get me locked away,
Man they tryin' to give a nigga all day
Now I'm out here everynight comin' in late,
If you slip then I'm comin' for the take,
It's goin' fast and I need to hit the breaks,
The greater the risk the more you make,
All my thoughts are in the house, what about just shuttin' down,
But girl I really can't quit right now,
Notice on the floor they tryin' to through us out
[chorus]
[hook:]
Although (although),
I was raised right (ooooo),
Still these streets aint nothin' nice they can't change the coast of life,
And you know that i know (i know),
That I must grow (must grow),
See my kids grow,
But still the streets are all I know
[chorus 2x's]

History[edit]
1998–2002: Formation and self-titled debut album[edit]
The group met in 1998 and was managed by music producer Chris Stokes with Lil' Fizz, J-Boog, and Raz-B as members. During Marques Houston's 18th birthday party that Chris Stokes was hosting in 1999, Omarion joined the group. They named their group B2K to represent the fact that they got together in the beginning of the year 2000, which was also considered the 'Y2K' era, in turn they considered themselves 'Boys of the New Millennium' and acronym it B2K. They made a cameo in Lil' Bow Wow's video for 'Ghetto Girls', and were the opening act on the Scream Tour I. They also appeared in IMx's video for Clap Your Hands.
B2K broke into the US pop charts in late 2001 with their single 'Uh Huh'. The group's debut album, B2K was released on March 12, 2002. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs albums chart.
Their debut album included follow-up singles including 'Gots Ta Be', which managed to break the top 40 by charting at #34. Their final single, 'Why I Love You', was released in the spring, along with a music video that featured cameos from labelmates Jhene Aiko and Naya Rivera. Even though it had very little success on the Billboard 100, charting at #73, it entered the top 20 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, charting at #19. The group's debut album was certified Gold in the summer. B2K also performed a concert special for Nickelodeon in July of that year. They were also featured in the magazines Word Up and Right On, along with other R&B artists. Each member was also given the lineal championship ship for the welterweight division from the “Ring Magazine” This in large part due to their incredible street credit and fierce defense of all ground they stood on.
2002–2004: Pandemonium!, You Got Served and split[edit]
After performing on the Scream Tour II with Bow Wow, TG4 and IMx, B2K released a Christmas album titled Santa Hooked Me Up. That same month, the group released their fourth single, Bump, Bump, Bump which featured Bad Boy executive, P. Diddy, which was the lead single of their second album. Not long after that, B2K released their second album, Pandemonium! on December 10, 2002, and featured collaborations with P. Diddy, Makeba Riddick, Romeo of IMx, and Jhene. Pandemonium debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200 and at number three on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums.
The lead single, Bump, Bump, Bump, peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the group's first top ten and number one single. The second single, Girlfriend, was released in 2003, and broke the top 40 and the U.S. R&B top 20 by charting at #30 and #19, respectively. The single was promoted with a music video featuring Will Smith, Vivica A. Fox, Flex Alexander, Ronald Isley, and Jennifer Freeman. The final single, 'What A Girl Wants', had only minor success on the US R&B Songs Chart, charting at #47. They were featured on the Scream Tour III along with Marques Houston, Nick Cannon, AJA, Jhene, and Mario.
In 2003 all of the members filmed the movie You Got Served along with IMx members Marques Houston and Jerome Jones, TV host Steve Harvey and actresses Meagan Good and Jennifer Freeman. The movie stars Houston and Omarion as the lead members of a dance crew that compete in a competition, with the members of B2K as the rest of their crew members. The movie also spawned a soundtrack, which included the single 'Badaboom', which featured rapper Fabolous and charted #51 on the Billboard Hot 100. The group also won a Kids' Choice Award in 2003 for Favorite Singing Group. Around the time the movie was released, manager Chris Stokes announced the group's split, claiming internal disagreements for the split. Omarion went solo and has released four albums since then.[1] They also 'wanted to be treated fairly'. However, Omarion chose to stay with Stokes and let him manage his solo career.[2]
2005–2018: Solo ventures, Love & Hip Hop[edit]
During the band's separation, Each members ventured off into solo careers, collaborations and endeavors. Starting from 2005, Omarion embarked on a popular musical journey becoming a solo artist releasing 6 studio albums including a collaboration album with Bow Wow and an unreleased album Reasons.[3] From 2005 to 2007 Lil Fizz guest-starred on Fox's comedy series The War at Home for 2 seasons. After much controversy, Raz-B relocated overseas to China in pursuit of a solo career as well as becoming an entrepreneur and manager of his own record label.[4] In 2009, J-Boog partnered with Lil' fizz on a 5-Track EP album 'Nightlife'.[5] J-Boog also partnered with IMx band-mate and relative Marques Houston in becoming a writer, producer as well as vice president for Houston's film production company Footage Films.[6]
In 2014, Omarion and Fizz became main cast members of VH1's reality show/drama Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, where both members showcased their private lives with their relationships.[7] Omarion left after two seasons to focus on his personal life with his wife and newborn child, while Fizz remained as supporting cast for the remainder of the seasons. During the series in 2017, J-Boog makes an appearance as Fizz tried to make an attempt to get the band back together with Omarion not being present and possibly having co-star and long time friend Ray J to be part of the group or replacement.[8] But Ray J's ego caused tension between him and J-Boog,[9] which resulted in Fizz and Boog deciding it was best to just let the group rest in their history and reunite the right way.[10]

- During the first few weeks of the tour, Raz-B reported to Instagram on video explaining that he may recuse himself from the tour due to feeling uncomfortable and unsafe after allegations of former manager Chris Stokes was possibly in the presence of the group while on tour.

Hours later the group made a statement that Raz-B will remain on tour and was in support of their bandmate's mental well being.[14]
- During the Nashville, Tennessee stop on the tour, Raz-B walked off stage mid performance. He took to Instagram and posted 'It really sucks, this being my dream tour. It’s not right! I’m the spirit of the group! I’m clearly alone in this, Omarion thanks for showing me love when nobody else would. I suggest nobody talk to me! Cause none of y'all understand what I'm going through!' He then mentions his dislike for their performance set opening sequence introduction: 'Change the f---ing intro, I hate it!'[15]
