Spent my life in the hood, never seen nothin' different
Everybody tell me, nigga, get the money and the bitches hit the show
And *** a blunt and let the liquor fill your liver
Preach a promise, better days, I'm thinkin', nigga, how you figure
All my family still broke on welfare
Talk about havin' better livin', but it's hellhead
Tryna dash a block in the cops and it's so rare
All the enemies, especially shots, got them all scared
Tryna find a way up, cause I know down
I'm just tryna be the first to make it from my hometown
Got a couple likes and everybody think I'm on now
Finally find a way, but they all lookin' for the boat now
Slow down
I ain't fuckin' with you if it wasn't from the get-go
I'm talkin' my tail, draw the snotty nose in the Crisco
Laker, you my dog, I know I get like a bitch
Joke down, sing a tindle, but you better not switch up
Tryna make it up to you like I know
Make sure to feel it good like I know
Been to put my city on like I know
Real ones that didn't make a lot of time, though
Yeah, I'm from the world, boss
And I done seen a lot
I done been a boss
Yeah, I'm from the world, boss
But now I want more
It's ignorant to think that I don't wanna whip
With some rims, 26
In a way to feed my family with a pocket full of chips
I ain't dumb, I know life is just a gamble
But I don't want to lie, I'm light
Cause I'm tired of lightin' candles
So I'm out here watchin' over
Say some lessons at this grave
I'm tryna put this kid through college
Cause it ain't no other way
It got me thinkin' about the day
They took my mama's son away
I should've done that
I should've fuckin' blacked out
And went and really copped the K
Let the motherfuckers spray
Had they family all blacked out
Gang signs whacked out
How you wanna act now?
Anybody trippin', you can get it
Cause I'm strapped now
Spent my life in prison
But at least I laid they ass down
But come to find out
That I'm finna be a father
Side of life is growing
Doctor said it's finna be a daughter
Tryna break the cycle
Finally take my people farther
Anger turned to motivation
Got me really workin' hard
And tryna make it out the world
Like I know
Make sure to feel it good
Like I know
Finna put my city on
Like I know
Real was it didn't make a lot of condo
Yeah, I'm in the world
And I done seen low
Tryna be bold
But now I want more
Make me take it out the hood
Like I know
Make sure to feel it good
Like I know
Finna put my city on
Like I know
Real was it didn't make a lot of condo
Yeah, I'm in the world
And I done seen low
Tryna be bold
But now I want more
