Mama told me stay away from them niggas |
| [00:24.53] |
Mama told me she had a K for them niggas |
| [00:27.16] |
Mama told me she go to pay for them niggas |
| [00:29.52] |
While my grandmother told me that she would pray for them niggas |
| [00:32.01] |
They just young black and ignorant |
| [00:33.56] |
Lusting over models and the Benjamins |
| [00:35.21] |
|
| [00:35.78] |
Got the game twisted like what? licorice |
| [00:37.89] |
When I was rocking lottos moving packs in front of McDonalds |
| [00:40.32] |
She was looking for me, pulled up in that Old El Dorado |
| [00:42.81] |
I was running around with Chase, chasing new black wheels |
| [00:44.74] |
Why would I do that still? That's what got 2Pac killed... |
| [00:47.57] |
But I use that still cause I won't do that deal |
| [00:50.04] |
Screw the muzzle in potatoes of that new Mac Mill |
| [00:52.80] |
What did I learn? Nothing |
| [00:53.79] |
My papa smoking sherm blunts and |
| [00:55.36] |
Beating on my moms like her head was a percussion |
| [00:58.03] |
Tat! Tat! My.45 knocking on your window |
| [01:00.40] |
She said there would be days like this, Pharrell, drop the instrumental |
| [01:03.25] |
|
| [01:03.86] |
Yezzir... |
| [01:04.88] |
|
| [01:13.73] |
I know I must go and I don't know my way Still don't know where we all came from |
| [01:23.07] |
|
| [01:33.59] |
Crack a Swisher, crack a 5th up |
| [01:35.28] |
Hennessy pouring like Niagara Falls |
| [01:36.58] |
Used to watch Magic, he showed me how to ball |
| [01:38.57] |
Moms working late night, to get a plate right |
| [01:40.44] |
Had some older brothers, all we did was smoke and play-fight |
| [01:42.68] |
Wish I could go back to them days cause streets don't play right |
| [01:45.53] |
Some niggas hard, other niggas was the Kid N Play type |
| [01:48.09] |
Didn't stop me from pretending I was Apollo from Rocky |
| [01:50.83] |
Working on my dip-game, now nobody wanna box me |
| [01:53.57] |
Pick and choose, stick and move |
| [01:55.42] |
So many dudes ended up in sleeping bags on late-night news |
| [01:58.23] |
But not my mama's song, going around the hood serving customers |
| [02:01.06] |
She yapping in my ear, but it's louder than the muffler |
| [02:03.68] |
What I didn't listen to, I wish I would've trusted her |
| [02:05.97] |
Wish I had a shovel, be digging both of my brothers up |
| [02:08.66] |
Like "here hug em ma, one last time" |
| [02:10.95] |
Put a chain on both of them niggas, they get one last shine |
| [02:13.83] |
I know I must go and I don't know my way Still don't know where we all came from |
| [02:23.49] |
|
| [02:34.32] |
Put down, recognize your a block king cause it's my town |
| [02:35.93] |
|
| [02:36.59] |
Word to my mother you can throw up your rock now |
| [02:39.10] |
Got off the beef shit cause I ain't tryna see my mama in all-black |
| [02:41.60] |
Right there, crying over hard facts |
| [02:44.21] |
Now she gotta turn in all her cars and get her house back |
| [02:46.70] |
Never! She carried me for 9 months so she can have whatever |
| [02:49.69] |
Plus she taught me how to shoot Berettas, told me that I'd be a king |
| [02:52.94] |
So RIP to Coretta, if you don't understand that |
| [02:55.36] |
Then refer to my letter, while I sprinkle |
| [02:57.15] |
Niggas with platinum, from my last album |
| [02:59.22] |
Got the check, so I signed on the X like Malcolm |
| [03:01.69] |
Riding through the hood, you hating niggas like "how come? " |
| [03:04.55] |
That niggas Game got it, heard he selling talcum |
| [03:06.79] |
Either way, hey playboy, check it, this is the outcome |
| [03:09.38] |
You might not like it, but my mama psychic |
| [03:11.73] |
Why you niggas twisted like the top of a Sidekick? |
| [03:14.66] |
I know I must go and I don't know my way Still don't know where we all came from |
