Street Cred

I’ve got street cred because I mean what I say
The folks on my street believe the words I convey
I’ve got street cred ‘cause I do not deceive
Cred comes from Latin, it means “believe”

I don’t have to pay cash, that’s right, I said it!
The stores trust me so I can buy on credit
They know that I would never tell a lie
That’s why I’m known as a credible guy

No, there never is a reason to mislead
That is what I believe, that is my creed
I don’t ever put up a pretense
That’s why I’ve got maximum credence

I’ve got street cred because I mean what I say
The folks on my street believe the words I convey
I’ve got street cred ‘cause I do not deceive
Cred comes from Latin, it means “believe”
