The Nation |
| 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 |
