EST Gee’s "The Streets" Brings To Life The Perilous World He Navigates Daily

EST Gee’s "The Streets" brings to life the perilous world he navigates daily. The track opens with, "They gon' pull out my phone to spin, don't leave the lo' until he killed," setting a tense tone as he describes the constant threats and the violence that marks his environment. It paints a picture of a reality where danger lurks around every corner, and the stakes are life and death. The rapper continues, "I'll be past my toes and hands, I count the ones, I seen and went," emphasizing the grind of street life. Each dollar is hard-earned, and survival often requires looking over your shoulder. The notion of counting money while dodging danger underscores the tension in his everyday existence. Rather than seeking traditional routes to success, EST Gee states, "Instead of invest in businesses, I'm plannin' on gettin' a killer rich." This line reflects his perspective on wealth – driven by the streets, where moral lines are often blurred in the pursuit of financial gain. The track speaks to the desperation, ambition, and harsh choices that define his journey.
