| I’ve seen a lot of people get rocked
|
| I’ve seen a lot of people get robbed
|
| I’ve seen a lot of kids get stopped
|
| Frisk 'em where they stand
|
| Silver cuffs leaning on their hands while the whole hood watch
|
| Young G’s pull up in a mad Benz
|
| Buildings used to burn to the ground way back when
|
| Every other weekend, I know that I’m home when I see Ben
|
| Holla at shorty real life, fuck a DM
|
| Grabbed a lot of ass on this platform
|
| I grew up hella fast on this platform
|
| I told her that I love on this platform
|
| Like, damn, I’m tryna fuck her on this platform
|
| Chill buzzin', I write this so I can feel something
|
| Jaded from the past
|
| I’m still running' its still coming
|
| I’m unpacking the real luggage
|
| I’m me, and they still love it
|
| My arteries still pumping
|
| I do it for the hell of it
|
| For my niggas on the G train
|
| Every nigga is a star
|
| Every nigga is a star
|
| For my homies in the Fort
|
| Good view from the window
|
| My city light up in the dark
|
| My city light up in the dark
|
| Myrtle Ave., eating Chinese but we ain’t have much
|
| Girls passing by, they come inside and bag us
|
| Reggie smelling something severe, we on our last blunt
|
| 'Bout to take it up to the roof, the shorties match up
|
| Peep the fast one, took her back to the crib
|
| My niggas wanted the head and she was happy to give
|
| She naked all on the bed, there’s ten of us in the crib
|
| The homies is high as fuck, shorty know what it is
|
| «Yada-ya-ah-ah-ahh» the other shit we can skip
|
| She lookup at my homie like nigga look what I did
|
| Then ask him if this mean they’re together, he turn quick
|
| Like, «Shorty, you must be joking, I thought you just wanted dick»
|
| I was like, «Oh», took a shot of Henny and slid
|
| Conscious fucking with me cause she is somebody’s kid
|
| I went to see my girl and gave her the biggest hug
|
| Back of my mind, «Niggas ain’t doing that shit again»
|
| For the hell of it
|
| For my homies on the G train
|
| Every nigga is a star
|
| Every sister is a star
|
| For my homies in the Fort
|
| Good view from the window
|
| My city light up in the dark
|
| My city light up in the dark
|
| Yeah
|
| We ain’t even leave the crib on a summer day
|
| Bros mom always cook good, fuck a hunger pain
|
| Knife, fork, then we hit the block get that white paper
|
| Sour in the bag bright green like a light saber
|
| Run the street, park benches and tall fences
|
| We’re all pensive but ganja is dulling our senses
|
| And even as youngins we had a vision of independence
|
| And stacking up riches
|
| 'Cause we were living below means
|
| Passing the dope fiends
|
| Soaking up the game from the dealers and OGs
|
| I got a whole wife and she loyal as fuck
|
| It’s like I got a good home but I sleep in the slums
|
| A young nigga doing dumb shit
|
| Pick up a bummie, soda and Sun Chips
|
| Lost a couple homies to drugs
|
| And so I do it for them
|
| And shit I do it for us
|
| 'Cause we the same, no difference
|
| If you back home, listen
|
| I do it for the hell of it
|
| I do for the G train
|
| Every nigga is a star
|
| Every nigga is a star
|
| For my homies out in Fort Greene
|
| Good view from the window
|
| My city light up in the dark
|
| My city light up in the dark |
