They say my nigga you gon'
You gon make it out the hood
I be tryn' do right
I be doubting If I could
Sometimes we forced to do bad
Cause we tryna live good
We all just caught up in something, tryna figure out shit but
You gon'
You gon' make it out the hood
I be tryn' do right
I be doubting If I could
Sometimes we forced to do bad
Cause we tryna live good
We all just caught up in some'
Shrug it off like "no biggie," though everyday is a struggle
Shit ain't built for us to win, they expect us to hustle
One thing they put in hoods, so we don't get above em
All that white my niggas pushing like they holding a shovel
It's a cycle, nigga
Make you kill for a Jackson, not Michael
And hold a strap religiously like it's the Bible with ya
Get mad when you park the car in Beverly Hills garage
But my hood full of "see-the-coupe-and-get-spiteful" niggas
They telling us how to think, but they don't practice what they preaching
Got teachers, that told us we ain't ever gon' be shit
I peeped it
Wrote my pigment out them textbooks
I don't believe shit, f*ck a pledge of alledgence
Plus, tell me how I'm s'posed to believe I need me a degree
Know a nigga went and got his
He ain't touching no G's
And the niggas ducking the D's drive the foreigner V's
Broke nigga, could never be
But, soon these niggas gon see
They say my nigga you gon'
You gon make it out the hood
I be tryn' do right
I be doubting If I could
Sometimes we forced to do bad
Cause we tryna live good
We all just caught up in something, tryna figure out shit but
You gon'
You gon make it out the hood
I be tryn' do right
I be doubting If I could
Sometimes we forced to do bad
Cause we tryna live good
We all just caught up in something, tryna figure out shit
