| Baby, don’t you know
|
| Everything you do away from home
|
| Could leave me here alone
|
| So baby don’t you go, no
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| I saw a kid 12 years old, with a pack of cigarettes and a Glock
|
| Cause in this ‘partments it was easy to cop
|
| Looking for a nigga slipping, yeah they easy to spot
|
| In the streets the enemies are just as evil as cops
|
| The only word he ever heard from his pops was
|
| If this the devil’s world then who hangs out at the top
|
| He had cocaine dreams, and Scarface nightmares
|
| I thought to myself, does anyone in this life care
|
| Growing too fast like his days are lightyears
|
| His mama says go to church, you need a light prayer
|
| You think the streets need you? |
| Well I need you right here
|
| You need to slow it down, cause the streets don’t fight fair
|
| For real!
|
| Baby, don’t you know
|
| Everything you do away from home
|
| Could leave me here alone
|
| So baby don’t you go, no
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| It’s easy to get in trouble in the place where I’m from
|
| Niggas lacking the education but be packing a gun
|
| I just kick it with the homies and be having some fun
|
| Mama keep calling, I understand you protecting your son
|
| You found that I be smoking and I know it makes you mad
|
| And I know you see his trace, scared I’ma be just like my dad
|
| Scared I’m doing something bad, scared I might end up dead
|
| Well look I chose another path so get those worries out your head
|
| I’ma keep on doing it how I’m doing it
|
| Stay working hard, making this music and
|
| Show you I got to get it, I do
|
| They asking my motivation and I reply that it’s you mama
|
| Baby, don’t you know
|
| Everything you do away from home
|
| Could leave me here alone
|
| So baby don’t you go, no
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| A deadly trend that never ends
|
| City full of negligence, pregnant pedestrians
|
| I used to think, 'am I a prisoner or a resident?'
|
| They book us for possession but they keep shipping weapons in
|
| Either the Glock shoots you or a cop do you
|
| They set the system up to lock you up a lot sooner
|
| Everything you try to do they try to out do you
|
| My mama said hallelujah cause I got a future
|
| I got a future after something newer
|
| They try to sell you bullshit because it sounds cooler
|
| And if you stand out from the crowd they label you a loser
|
| Don’t throw your life away, don’t let your eyes fool you
|
| That’s how they use you
|
| Baby, don’t you know
|
| Everything you do away from home
|
| Could leave me here alone
|
| So baby don’t you go, no
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo
|
| No, no
|
| No-o-o-oo |
