Downtown |
Word got around that a nigga got shot |
Heard a nigga drew down' and he bucked so his ass got popped |
We was on my block trying to move these rocks |
Trying to stack this cash on the low, gotta duck these cops |
We was right off third and polock chilling in the back of the tracks |
Niggas got packs, trying to get them racks |
X5 I was riding in the back with the brother’s' round kicking in the gat in my |
lap |
17 had no dreams, drinking four loco’s, Sprite and codeine |
First class I was on lean, said fuck high-school, so I left Reed. |
No one told me life would be this way! |
I swear nobody told me |
Guess this is the game we chose to play |
Crazy how it’s always been the same! |
People dying every day, that ain’t nothing new |
When you from downtown, downtown! |
Out here tryna make a way |
I won’t let these niggas take me down-down, down! |
(So I ride) |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
(So I ride) |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Phone just RANG heard a nigga got got |
He was over in the East last thing that he heard six shots |
He ain’t gettin' no love from the cops, nobody got caught |
Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped |
Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back |
Let 'em know 'cause a nigga gotta feel that! |
Sitting shotgun with the shot gun |
When you hear the shots come, nigga don’t run! |
Already bad, it can only get worse |
Hand full of steel 'cause the shit still hurts |
Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse |
Never saw 25, had to put him in the dirt. |
No one told me life would be this way! |
I swear nobody told me |
Guess this is the game we chose to play |
Crazy how it’s always been the same! |
People dying every day, that ain’t nothing new |
When you from downtown, downtown! |
Out here tryna make a way |
I won’t let these niggas take me down-down, down! |
(So I ride) |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
(So I ride) |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Once upon a time down town in the nine (9th ward) |
Where they don’t mind dying |
Sworn to a life of crime, was a youngin' that only stood 5'5 |
Big money on his mind, clothes ain’t wrinkled while his hands on his iron. |
Shot six times right in front of my mom |
Kind of 32, man, I’m lucky to survive |
On a pac, juice real niggas don’t die! |
Bitch, I’m from Mazant slang crack on the same set |
Blood stains at from a homie with his head cracked |
O’Gs like A' wacks they’ve been doing this shit way back since A track. |
And we yell where the gang at |
You can get fame there from the way you’re going to bang that |
Shoot for the head watch how you aim that |
Price on your head and we gon' take that |
It’s about to go down, you ain’t about this then you better go now |
Sun going down, keep it door down! |
Everybody lay down. |
Ski mask down! |
All you gonna see is my eyes and my frown |
Last thing you hear is my gun going pow |
It happens every day round my way |
This ain’t nothing new you grew up downtown. |
People dying every day, that ain’t nothing new |
When you from downtown, downtown! |
I’m just trying to make a way, |
I won’t let these niggas take me down-down, down! |
(So I ride) |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
(So I ride) |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
Riding on these niggas, I be riding, I be riding on 'em |
