| [00:19.22] |
Yea, this is where the |
| [00:20.78] |
Yea, this is where the fathers ain't living |
| [00:23.12] |
At least not with us |
| [00:24.82] |
Might see em round the city and won't even say wassup |
| [00:27.31] |
When niggas play tough, won't even smile in mirrors |
| [00:29.68] |
And we learn to f**k hoes off trial and error |
| [00:32.43] |
Just a small time nigga, big city hustle |
| [00:35.23] |
Glued to the TV, Jigga, Diddy, Russell |
| [00:38.00] |
These were our heroes, strictly for them zero's |
| [00:40.72] |
For that Robert Deniro, niggas reload on them kilo's |
| [00:43.33] |
Dodgin them people, |
| [00:44.99] |
Mad at myself cause I done seen some things that I'd rather not tell |
| [00:48.82] |
Shawty smole crack and her boyfriend too |
| [00:51.51] |
Sometimes he touch her daughter like them boyfriends do |
| [00:54.50] |
Pull up to the club where the boys went too |
| [00:56.84] |
See that yellow tape and the boys in blue |
| [00:59.58] |
A nigga on a strecther and though I never met ya |
| [01:02.28] |
I'm thinking God Bless ya, they city try and get ya |
| [01:06.11] |
Man, don't let the city get ya |
| [01:08.02] |
F**k the horoscopes, know the ropes lke a wrestler |
| [01:10.42] |
If them bullets wet ya bet ya momma need a tissue |
| [01:13.20] |
Your face on the front of our shirts saying we miss ya |
| [01:16.24] |
(We miss ya) |
| [01:17.36] |
Come with me, |
| [01:19.31] |
Run quick see, what do we have here |
| [01:22.65] |
Now, do you wanna ride or die |
| [01:25.16] |
La dadada, la la la la |
| [01:28.32] |
Come with me, |
| [01:30.91] |
Run quick see, what do we have here |
| [01:33.75] |
Now, do you wanna ride or die |
| [01:36.07] |
La dadada, la la la la |
| [01:38.63] |
Yea, let's see God |
| [01:40.07] |
I know you only do what's best for me |
| [01:41.93] |
But is it cool if we negotiate my destiny |
| [01:44.35] |
They always tellin' me it's temporary |
| [01:46.58] |
Than why it's feelling like a cemetary |
| [01:48.59] |
My dreams ain't got no obituaries |
| [01:50.58] |
My city hurting and none of us were equiped here |
| [01:52.63] |
You heard me say I was ballin' |
| [01:54.80] |
I probably make tears |
| [01:56.02] |
I'm trying to get clear |
| [01:57.37] |
I'm tryna quit fear |
| [01:58.60] |
Who wrote the scripts here |
| [01:59.95] |
These kids live there whole life just killing time |
| [02:01.84] |
Running the race with no finish line |
| [02:04.65] |
They tryna noose us with they ropes |
| [02:07.47] |
But I'm tryna climb |
| [02:08.59] |
I think my foolish pride might become my suicide |
| [02:10.40] |
But I ain't tryna go, no baby |
| [02:12.88] |
And through these lines and quotes you gotta find some hope |
| [02:15.64] |
Cause I ain't dying |
| [02:16.75] |
My words gon' last forever, |
| [02:18.60] |
You can hold the treasure |
| [02:19.83] |
Look inside you can see a diamond in my mind |
| [02:21.91] |
I'm tired of seeing dope fiends, wiping they nose clean |
| [02:25.01] |
Is my neighbourhood just a smoke screen |
| [02:27.03] |
I think I'm in the Dungeon Fam, I see lo green |
| [02:29.51] |
Sons raised by bo queens but there's no kings |
| [02:32.46] |
(No kings, no kings) |
| [02:34.26] |
Come with me, |
| [02:36.56] |
Run quick see, what do we have here |
| [02:39.80] |
Now, do you wanna ride or die |
| [02:42.09] |
La dadada, la la la la |
| [02:45.20] |
Come with me, |
| [02:47.99] |
Run quick see, what do we have here |
| [02:50.58] |
Now, do you wanna ride or die |
| [02:52.91] |
La dadada, la la la la |
| [02:55.67] |
It seems like niggas either feel ya or they try and kill ya |
| [02:58.20] |
I face the sky and hope to God ain't acting unfamiliar |
| [03:00.83] |
You play whatever cards he deal no matter how peculiar |
| [03:03.47] |
They tell me that it's God's will, I'm asking God will ya |
| [03:06.08] |
Heal a nigga from all this pain, momma smoking cocaine as it rains out |
| [03:09.64] |
Am I to blame, try to stay sane so I came out-side |
| [03:12.83] |
Where they rock with them thangs out |
| [03:15.20] |
To clear my mind at the same time they blew that boys brains out |
| [03:17.35] |
But will it change, it's like niggas is free but our minds still in the chains |
| [03:21.37] |
Brothers killing eachother, the blood spill it's a shame |
| [03:24.05] |
Will it ever slow up |
| [03:25.16] |
Alot of niggas getting older but they never grow up |
| [03:27.80] |
And do they son's like they fathers did and never show up |
| [03:30.43] |
Don't even cry about it, just another episode of life |
| [03:33.19] |
Watch the season nigga no re-runs |
| [03:36.02] |
The devil buying soul's nigga no refunds |
| [03:40.25] |
Man, don't let the city get ya |
| [03:41.83] |
F**k the horoscopes know the ropes like a wrestler |
| [03:44.38] |
If them bullets wet ya bet ya momma need a tissue |
| [03:47.15] |
Your face on the front of our shirts screaming we miss ya |
| [03:49.99] |
Another day, another song, a mother prays |
| [03:54.61] |
Another gone |
| [03:55.95] |
But still we play like ain't nothing wrong |
| [03:58.24] |
Like ain't nothing wrong |
| [03:59.74] |
Cause ain't nothing wrong |
| [04:01.44] |
I'm not as fast, I'm not as tall |
| [04:03.84] |
But before I pass |
| [04:05.09] |
I gotta ball |
| [04:06.45] |
I gotta ball |
| [04:08.08] |
I gotta ball |
| [04:09.24] |
Nigga I gotta ball |
