| Living life in the hardest city
|
| Understand where I’m coming from
|
| Understand where I’m coming from
|
| This where the gangstas survive
|
| And bitch niggas died
|
| Somebody from your block got, got, you gotta ride
|
| Where the bitches suspicious that’s why you can’t trust em
|
| Pimp, steal, hell you might not wanna fuck em
|
| The block is on fire, them laws want you locked
|
| Even if you pay the hustle they take the little that you got
|
| When niggas get shot, and it ain’t no big deal
|
| Cause everybody took what even if they get killed
|
| It’s hard to cry for 'em we’re so used to it live everyday like it’s our last
|
| It’s like that nigga knew it
|
| Robbing and stealing, hustling and killin'
|
| Serve that, I just smile, living with no villain
|
| Where they so tired of starvin' they’d rather be in jail
|
| They go home and after tell their kids they failed
|
| I’m from the South side of Houston, where everybodys strapped
|
| But I love my hood so I put it on the map
|
| I come from the rock bottom, trains and steel mills
|
| My partner fuck school, he’d rather rock chrome wheels
|
| Babys been having babies like condoms they never made 'em
|
| Give them up to their parents cause surely they couldn’t raise 'em
|
| Let the curtain fall fuck the laws and the judge
|
| Sendin' niggas up the creek for selling drugs they gave to us
|
| My grandma always used to say cherish what you love
|
| Cause God is comin' soon for me and you to take us up above
|
| They hollin' change here but I got bills due
|
| So pardon me when Imma eat and I don’t feel you
|
| Just let me smoke my weed and drank upon this chill brew
|
| And reminisce on life when it was laid back and chill too
|
| I’m still pourin out for partners that did pass
|
| But never pour too much cause I try to make it last
|
| Make do with what I got I appreciate what I have
|
| If you ain’t searchin' for the truth then why you asked
|
| Mississippi where I’m comin' from
|
| I’m from the home of religion where they searching for a way
|
| Where they sent you far away
|
| And they got less than any but still got the most faith
|
| Home of the G’s, land of the slaves
|
| Rest in peace and much respect to all my G’s that passed away
|
| And on that note I lost two more the other day
|
| Where the good die young and the kids duck strays
|
| On the way to school jumpin' over blood pools
|
| You can smell it in they clothes, its like the Devil’s burnt through
|
| And they immune to it, how is this normal?
|
| Where the babies get burned and preachers call that karma
|
| See where I’m from they will tell us anything
|
| Like fuck it if we crash, they just want us out they lane
|
| Yeah man, that’s a motherfucking shame
|
| And every gutter is the same, but different motherfuckin' drain
|
| I’m from the slums, gorilla red off chromes (?)
|
| Where you better not come, rich niggas get done
|
| And the bricks bitch, ugh! |
