You can get shot or get bladed |
|
There's dudes that got jobs now that had blocks in the eighties |
|
Six months, five years for you just to cop out |
|
Ninth, tenth grade is usually when *** drop out |

Fights break out when you wired and start joking |

Tell me this, how come, black folks get a little dough |
|
And forget where they come from? |
|
Man, we used to have good times |
|
But since you moved on up, yes, you ain't cool with us |
|
We still support you know, we don't see you much |
|
You ain't the first fool, it's cool with us? |
|
But while you living out your idol dreams |
|
Remember how far you came and help you keep them thangs |
|
Now it's cool that your address changed |
|
But I'm tryna holla at my dog but the number ain't the same |
|
I guess new homies came with his fame |
|
But see, true homies will stay the same |
|
Through all the up's and down's in your career |
|
A couple wives, few kids scattered here and there |
|
And when you dead or broke without a deal |
|
All the groupies cleared, the ghetto still be here |
|
All the money in the world couldn't change me |
|
No diamond rings or them fancy cars' |
|
Cause my *** in the hood woulda let me |
