Hood Story (feat. NoCap)

Yeah, oh

They say, uh, uh

Tryna make a way, my brother died, he ain't even reach my age

Small city, but I swear I had big dreams of getting paid

Know it's gon' make her day when my grandmother see me on that stage

Really came from nothing, I'm thankful for this life, I really prayed

Really came from nothing, I'm thankful for this life, I had it hard

Keep that Glizzy by my side, I don't really need no bodyguard

Feel like I'm falling out of love, never thought we'd ever be apart

Baby, this just here the story, how lil' one turned to a star

Baby, this just here the story how lil' one turned to a man

Really beat the odds, I'm doing everything they said I can't

The hood still love me, I'm always be myself, I won't pretend

Mob with my brothers, I don't trust nobody, I don't want no friends

Tell them labels, I won't sign, I need them millions in advance

Tell the young ****, "Chase your dream, 'cause everybody gonna get their chance"

Tryna tell my mama I'm really a star, I got fans way in France

Me and lil' Foreign counting that money, we was just broke, now we got them bands

I'm sorry I come from nothing, I'm not used to this at all

I done ran up all this money so me and my brother dem can ball

Back then when I was nobody, I ain't have no one that I could call

Slow down 'cause you start tripping, who gon' catch you when you fall?

Tryna make a way, my brother died, he ain't even reach my age

Small city, but I swear I had big dreams of getting paid

Know it's gon' make her day when my grandmother see me on that stage

Really came from nothing, I'm thankful for this life, I really prayed

Really came from nothing, I'm thankful for this life, I had it hard

Keep that Glizzy by my side, I don't really need no bodyguard

Feel like I'm falling out of love, never thought we'd ever be apart

Baby, this just here the story, how lil' one turned to a star

**** fell deep in that gutter, it was shit we couldn't afford

I done seen so many court dates, I don't want to see no more

Judge fucking up my money, I can't even go on tour

Baby, this is just a story how lil' one turn to a god

Out on a couple bonds, I'm still gon' ride 'round with that Glock

Counting up money, I'm counting up blessings

I wake up and tell God, "Just don't let them wet me"

I wake up and tell my uncle that I love him 'fore it's too late

They tryna bust a king dome, got fans all in UK

'Cross the street from Tammy house, I'm tryna sell my last two packs

I tried linking up with rappers, but the industry just too fake

Opps been linking up with opps, they do whatever just to be safe

When you come this far, it's unsolved enemies

Just know them blue nights become envy

Your hood, my hood got the same struggle, streets just the internet

I got life and death secrets, which you die if you mention them

Yeah, and I never thought this lifestyle would've changed us

Just want my family straight, I never cared about being famous

Them **** don't got no love for me no more, it's turned to hatred

You weren't there when we was broke, I don't want you 'round when we make it

From Shallow Side, them young **** sling that iron, it's do or die

Know my brother dem gon' slide, fuck with the kid, it's suicide

Paid my mama bills, brought tears straight to her eyes, you ain't gotta cry

Let my brother know I love him if I don't get to say goodbye

Tryna make a way, my brother died, he ain't even reach my age

Small city, but I swear I had big dreams of getting paid

Know it's gon' make her day when my grandmother see me on that stage

Really came from nothing, I'm thankful for this life, I really prayed

Really came from nothing, I'm thankful for this life, I had it hard

Keep that Glizzy by my side, I don't really need no bodyguard

Feel like I'm falling out of love, never thought we'd ever be apart

Baby, this just here the story, how lil' one turned to a star

Turned to a star, yeah

You turned to a star, yeah

Baby, this the lifestyle I dreamed of

Yeah, they say, uh, uh

Oh, they say, uh, uh
