Hometown

Spent my life in the hood, never seen nothing different

Everybody told me, "****, get the money and the bitches"

Hit the store and grab a blunt, and let the liquor fill your liver

Preacher promised better days, I'm thinking, "****, how you figure?"

All my family still broke on welfare

Talk about Heaven better living, but it's Hell here

Tryna Dodge the block and the cops, and it's so rare

Heard the enemies is busting shots, got 'em all scared

Tryna find a way up, 'cause I know down

I'm just tryna be the first to make it from my hometown

Got a couple likes and everybody think I'm on now

Finally found a wave and they all looking for a boat now, slow down

I ain't fucking with you if it wasn't from the get go

I'm talking Montell Jordan, Snotty Nose, and the Crisco

Label you my dawg, but no acting like a bitch tho

Down since Nintendo, but you better not switch tho

Tryna make it out the hood like I know

Make sure the family good like I know

Finna put my city on like I know

Real ones that didn't make it light a candle

Yeah, I'm from the woods, and I done seen low

And I done been poor, but now I want more

It's ignorant to think that I don't want a whip with some rims, twenty-six

And a way to feed my family with a pocket full of chips

Ain't dumb, I know life is just a gamble

Want the limelight 'cause I'm tired of lighting candles

Ormoni watching over, say some blessings at his grave

I'm tryna put his kids through college, man, it ain't no other way

Got me thinking bout the day they took my momma son away

I should've fucking blacked out and went really copped the K

Let that motherfucker spray

Have they family all blacked out, gang signs, whacked out

How you wanna act now?

Anybody tripping you can get it 'cause I'm strapped now

Spend my life in prison, but at least I laid they ass down

But come to find out that I'm finna be a father

Inside, a life is growing, doctor said it's finna be a daughter

Tryna break the cycle, finally take my people farther

Anger turned to motivation, it got me really working harder

Tryna make it out the hood like I know

Make sure the family good like I know

Finna put my city on like I know

Real ones that didn't make it light a candle

Yeah, I'm from the woods, and I done seen low

And I done been poor, but now I want more

Tryna make it out the hood like I know

Make sure the family good like I know

Finna put my city on like I know

Real ones that didn't make it light a candle

Yeah, I'm from the woods, and I done seen low

And I done been poor, but now I want more
