| [Hook: Victoria Monet] | |
| Baby, don’t you know | |
| Everything you do away from home | |
| Could leave me here alone | |
| So baby don’t you go | |
| No! [x7] | |
| [Verse 1: B.o.B.] | |
| I saw a kid 12 years old, with a pack of cigarettes and a Glock | |
| Cause in this ‘par**ents it was easy to cop | |
| Looking for a ***** slipping, yeah they easy to spot | |
| In the streets the enemies are just as evil as cops | |
| The only word he ever heard from his pops was | |
| If this the devil’s world then who hangs out at the top | |
| He had ******* dreams, and Scarface nigh**ares | |
| I thought to myself, does anyone in this life care | |
| Growing too fast like his days are lightyears | |
| His mama says go to church, you need a light prayer | |
| You think the streets need you? Well I need you right here | |
| You need to slow it down, cause the streets don’t fight fair | |
| For real! | |
| [Hook] | |
| [Verse 2: Jake Lambo] | |
| It’s easy to get in trouble in the place where I’m from | |
| *****s lacking the education but be packing a gun | |
| I just kick it with the homies and be having some fun | |
| Mama keep calling, I understand you protecting your son | |
| You found that I be smoking and I know it makes you mad | |
| And I know you see his trace, scared Imma be just like my dad | |
| Scared I’m doing something bad, scared I might end up dead | |
| Well look I chose another path so get those worries out your head | |
| Imma keep on doing it how I’m doing it | |
| Stay working hard, making this music and | |
| Show you I got to get it, I do | |
| They asking my motivation and I reply that it’s you mama | |
| [Hook] | |
| [Verse 3: B.o.B.] | |
| A deadly trend that never ends | |
| City full of negligence, pregnant pedestrians | |
| I used to think am I a prisoner or a resident | |
| They book us for possession but they keep *******pping weapons in | |
| Either the Glock shoots you or a cop do you | |
| They set the system up to lock you up a lot sooner | |
| Everything you try to do they try to out do you | |
| My mama said hallelujah cause I got a future | |
| I got a future after something newer | |
| They try to sell you bull*******t because it sounds cooler | |
| And if you stand out from the crowd they label you a loser | |
| Don’t throw your life away, don’t let your eyes fool you | |
| That’s how they use you | |
