| Typical story of an Oakland girl
|
| Typical story heard around the world
|
| Mama on her way, daddy up above
|
| Out of 14, I guess it made me tough
|
| Used to roll up on a block on the east side
|
| I crack enough 40's by the sea side
|
| Lose a nigga every week to a drive by
|
| Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes I
|
| I don’t mean, I don’t mean for it to sound so damn common
|
| I don’t mean, I don’t mean for it to sound like I’m jawsin'
|
| But when I say it’s hard to open up to you
|
| It’s hard to get close to you
|
| I want it with everything in me to one day just say I’m in love with you
|
| But I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, I am not
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, hey
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, I am not
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it
|
| (I'm not used to it)
|
| One day, one day, one day
|
| One day, one day, one day
|
| All single mothers in my family
|
| Don’t know if you’re really understanding me
|
| Never seen a nigga be a real man
|
| I never seen a nigga with a real plan
|
| And I still never been to a wedding
|
| And I just see my family stressing
|
| Over sons who grew up with no daddies and every generation
|
| Was all just raised by my granny
|
| But nah
|
| I don’t mean, I don’t mean for it to sound so damn common
|
| I don’t mean, I don’t mean for it to sound like I’m jawsin'
|
| But when I say it’s hard to just side with you
|
| It’s hard to confide in you
|
| I want it with everything in me to one day just say that I ride with you
|
| But I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, I am not
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, hey
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, I am not
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it
|
| (I'm not used to it)
|
| One day, one day, one day
|
| One day, one day, one day
|
| Sometimes I pop off 'cause it’s all that I’m used to
|
| Sometimes I pop one 'cause I have to
|
| Sometimes I run from all my problems
|
| Sometimes I make sure that I solve em
|
| I don’t mean, I don’t mean for it to sound so damn common
|
| I don’t mean, I don’t mean for it to sound so damn common, but I’m not used to
|
| it
|
| But I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, I am not (baby, yeah)
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, hey (I'm not used to it)
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it, I am not (baby I’m sorry)
|
| I’m not used to it, I’m not used to it (I'm not, I’m not)
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| One day, one day, one day, one day
|
| Yeah, yeah, hey yeah
|
| 'Cause I’m not used to it |
