| I done seen a lot
|
| Ayy
|
| My Blessings out to Judy, two of her sons died
|
| So I thank the lord that I see the sun rise
|
| Judy don’t cry, the pain is hard to hide
|
| I know it’s rough mama, but keep hope alive
|
| Pray for better days, to see them better days
|
| I know the world is ugly, like FlavorFlav
|
| But I’ve seen better, so it’ll get better
|
| Do don’t even sweat it, like a thick sweater
|
| And tell my nigga Juvvy Rick to keep his head high
|
| I know it’s hard to see two of your bros die
|
| Just heard shots by the dust towns
|
| And turn around and see your brother jump outta Fresh towns
|
| Before he fucked the world, 'cause it’s a cold bitch
|
| With no panties on, and some wet lips
|
| And she licked her lips and stared at me
|
| And then the music and the lord saved me
|
| You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the
|
| boy
|
| It won’t change, won’t change
|
| And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain’t gon' do nothin'
|
| It won’t change, won’t change, ohh
|
| Dayumm, ain’t shit changed since I was little
|
| My pops doing the same thing and I wish he wouldn’t
|
| My grandmother died way back in '97
|
| But she stayed over my head and she kept blessing
|
| My brother in the pen, I can not stop stressing
|
| 85 to life, damn I think he got the message
|
| Ay, but I keep your name floating on
|
| TeeCee4800 and they know I’m on, huh
|
| I got a lot of niggas hating on me
|
| Cause they say a nigga eatin' while they stayin' hungry
|
| I’ve been on the block forever, nigga, I ain’t phony
|
| Bitch I do this shit for real, you can ask my homies
|
| Ha, blue chucks and my blue strings
|
| Blue Dickies, selling crack, bitch I gangbang
|
| And like 2Pac, I don’t see a damn change
|
| That’s why I pity Jay Kwon, that’s a damn shame
|
| You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the
|
| boy
|
| It won’t change, won’t change
|
| And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain’t gon' do nothin'
|
| It won’t change, won’t change, ohh
|
| Ugh, living life as a street nigga
|
| Ever since the start like a beginner
|
| Hungry nights when we couldn’t even eat dinner
|
| Life’s a bitch so I fuck her, yeah I’m deep in her
|
| Then they try to take the streets out of me
|
| Nigga hit licks and cashed out like a lottery
|
| Woke up one morning at gunpoint
|
| How would you feel if the police run up in your joint?
|
| Took my pops away for 'bout 3 years
|
| Every night a nigga cry more than 3 tears
|
| I was good though, nigga start gangbanging (Westside)
|
| Hustle every day 'til I started maintaining
|
| Classes got ditched and homies got killed
|
| Hurt is the perfect word a nigga felt
|
| Then, my nigga Ace pops died
|
| Ever since then, we’ve been smoking like Popeyes
|
| You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the
|
| boy
|
| It won’t change, won’t change
|
| And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain’t gon' do nothin'
|
| It won’t change, won’t change, ohh |
