DJ Khaled Ft Skillibeng, Buju Banton, Capleton, Bounty Killer & Sizzla – THESE STREETS KNOW MY NAME Lyrics
“THESE STREETS KNOW MY NAME” is a posse cut from DJ Khaled’s thirteenth studio album, GOD DID. The song is filled with Jamaican energy as the producer enlists the help of Skillibeng, Buju Banton, Capleton, Bounty Killer, and Sizzla as all five artists express their loyalty to their home country of Jamaica.
This song serves as a sequel to Khaled’s April 2021 track, “WHERE YOU COME FROM”, which also featured Buju Banton, Capleton, and Bounty Killer. Other than that, Khaled has also had all artists, except for Skillibeng, featured on multiple Jamaican records on his previous albums, continuing his love for the country and its music.
THESE STREETS KNOW MY NAME Lyrics by DJ Khaled Ft Skillibeng, Buju Banton, Capleton, Bounty Killer & Sizzla
[Intro: Capleton, Skillibeng, Sizzla & DJ Khaled]
Blessed is the man that walketh not (Na-na)
In the council of the ungodly (Yuh sih)
Nor standeth in the ways of sinners (Yeah man, a Eastsyde, brrrp)
Great is Jah (Judgment yard)
And greatly to be praised (We The Best Music)
In the city of our Jah, in the mountain of his holiness (Yeah, man, a top ranking)
Sizzla
Another one, DJ Khaled (Yuh sih)
[Verse 1: Skillibeng & DJ Khaled]
Alien badness, I stay with a ‘matic
And don’t play with the badness, and don’t ramp with Khaled
Never believe in us, God did (God did), that’s why we roll with chopstick
Something long like a mop stick, shooters don’t need no practice
Expert shootеr, di Mavericks
Wid di broom, dem are bandits
Firе not miss
A wi have di chalice a keep
Gi’ dem bwoy deh a nappy
A baby dem, God see
Whole of the weight go down ‘pon me, heavy weight
DJ Khaled boom the beat and I kill the beat
Me can fling lyrics
Yeah, Eastsyde is in the lead
We no disbelief, a expensive feature
So, so me should pree, the bwoy smile enuh, and gon’ medz mi later
Boy them play harder fi your owner paper
Do my crime so neat
Eastsyde nuh fear investigator
Know mi roots like cultivation
I love Jamaica, I puff mi grades and I stack the paper
Bines will shot yuh face an’ need calculator
We born fi danger, Eastsyde get the cash fi repatriation
Eastsyde a rule from God creation with bad behavior
Somebody go tell me teacher said it wrong fi say that
School a Illuminati, I love my fuckin’ occupation
Not a failure, Skilli ‘pon a beat is like gas to flames yah
So the place a bun down every fire station
Cyaan put out di flames, a alien invasion, money makers
[Interlude: Buju Banton & Skillibeng]
Yeah
Oh, yeah, oh (Brrrp)
[Chorus: Buju Banton, Skillibeng & Capleton]
These streets knows my name, yeah (Murder)
These legs knows my pain (More fire, yeah, ah)
Hoii, burn fire fi feel disappointed and shame
More education and more wealth, now
Them wan’ help now, them wan’ help now
And yuh haffi know how fi get in a yuh (A you wan’ tell them something?)
[Verse 2: Capleton & Sizzla]
From them sell out, we nah go friend them up
Me say anytime you ready, just send them up
And make me burn them up, and burn them up and end dem up
Babylon say independent and then peng them up (Yeah)
Modern slavery, a dat a hang them up
Buju Banton, Sizzla, and Khaled nah go friend them up
Killer cross, Skillibeng haffi go pen dem up
We fire, dat a fi go bun dem, alright
When you see the nation (But we tell them), no violation (So we tell them)
Tell them liberation (Now we tell them), tell them reparation (Hoii)
When you see Jah nation (But we tell them), no segregation (So we tell them)
Hope and aspiration (Now we tell them) haffi bun up Satan
Weh dem a wait ‘pon?
[Chorus: Buju Banton & Bounty Killer]
These streets knows my name, yeah (Murder)
These legs knows my pain (More fire, yeah ah)
Hoii, burn fire fi feel disappointed and shame
Celestial meditation when the kush touch di flame
Bwoy, yuh haffi put di respect ‘pon we name
Or the scope them will aim
[Verse 3: Bounty Killer]
Well, clip a race, them a run it and the Killer make the hammer clap
The banger weh we use, line them up, a nuh scammer chop
The bomb a drop, a rob, attack, the don a chop
Legendary status, rich badness, back on that
Them should a know, me watch a Patek and me chain a blind them eye
And gyal a brace it, and a send it back like a reply
Them think them can run in this, snot nose between them eye
Skilli’ roll up with a hundred dirt bike
We roll up inna these rides, Louis V slide
Chain bright like a street light, weh you feel like?
Extra clip weh we carry have thirty inna it
You no wan’ Eastsyde, buss your head in three side
Tell them say a one ground, God nah fail, ah nuh random
Fat buss head like condom, man blood a leak out ‘pon them plot
Them know a different for fireman and di one tunshirt
Ask the street cah we been bad
[Chorus: Buju Banton, Sizzla & Capleton]
These streets knows my name, yeah (Selassie I)
These legs knows my pain (More fire, yeah ah)
Hoii, burn fire fi feel disappointed and shame
More, more flames (Sizzla)
But a weh them take you for?
More fire, more, more, more flames
[Verse 4: Sizzla]
Respect goes a far way, not half way
We be at this all day
Never gonna get me giving up, we going all the way
The ups and the downs, yeah, the cuts and the bruise, uh
The system messing up, yeah, but what we all gotta choose
And it ain’t getting no better, if you sit back, you lose, uh
My brothers and the sisters all over the news (Hey)
That’s what we do, yeah, we burn out corruption (Hey)
And big up your group, tell them watch how we function (Hey)
What next to do when yuh reach out to junction? (Hey)
A mother’s slammed giving up a conduction
Heads up, heads high
The limit is the sky
Heads up, heads high
The limit is the sky (Whew)
Catch them, do the damage, get the package, I’m out
Getting the money, that’s what they hate I’m about
[Chorus: Buju Banton, Capleton & DJ Khaled]
These streets knows my name, yeah (Murder)
These legs knows my pain (More fire, yeah ah)
Burn fire fi feel disappointed and shame
They ain’t believe in us, Jamaica did
[Outro: Capleton]
Fire, hoii
