Lil Durk is showing off his emotional and melodic side on "Street Affection."

Lil Durk has cemented himself over the last few years as one of the pioneers when it comes to melodic, emotional, and honest music about the streets. Despite his success, Durk has never forgotten where he comes from and continues to release music that resonates with those who have followed in his footsteps.

On his latest project, Just Cause Y'all Waited 2, Durk continues to display his raw emotional lyrics and packages them in tracks that pay homage to the drill scene, while also offering up some melodies. On "Street Affection," that's exactly what Durk does as he gets honest about his life and the pitfalls of leading a certain lifestyle.

Give this song a spin and let us know what you think.

Quotably Lyrics:

Put blood, sweat, and tears inside of this shit, you gotta respect it
You ain't did shit for the streets, so how you gon' put a word in?
I'ma do what all I can do, but I ain't never say I was perfect
Man, that gun heavy, palms sweaty, you acting nervous
