Hooptie

I don't see how a motherfucka could be from a city, live in a city
And hate on a motherfucka that's representing the city
And that supposed to be the city you love, the city you from
Shit don't make no motherfuckin' sense
If I love somethin', ima love anybody, you know what I'm sayin'
Or anything that's representin' it
Especially if they doin' that shit right
That's fugazy nigga

I been ridin' through the city in a hooptie
I been ballin' since a youngin'
Like a nigga wanted college to recruit me
Obviously it didn't happen
Now I'm rappin', tryin' judge all of these groupies
Yeah, I'm tryin' to put on for my city
I just hope a hating nigga don't shoot me
Don't shoot me

As kid, I was told once
If you ain't got nothin' good to say then nigga don't say shit
I was told by a hoe once
If the girl you fuckin' ain't wifey material
Then watch out who you lay with
Damn, she told me she know by experience
She's not the girl to put trust in
At the moment I became so curious
I asked her how do you find love then?
She said there's no love in these streets & you know that
When you get out the city, my nigga, don't go back

But I'm still ridin' through the city in my hooptie
I been ballin' since a youngin'
Like a nigga wanted college to recruit me
Obviously it didn't happen
Now I'm rappin', tryin' judge all of these groupies
Yeah, I'm tryin' to put on for my city
I just hope a hating nigga don't shoot me
Don't shoot me

Yo, move in silence is the motto, dodging all of life's potholes
I, skrt skrt skrt, when I dip, call me Nacho
When I take my shirt off I'm young Petey Pablo
Like what
I took it way back, back when Eddy Curry was a rookie
Back before I started writing music, back before I
Back before we could all see the truth without looking
Demons follow me whenever I go
I pray that God is watching, to tell the truth
I don't pray that often
Demons on my shoulder like Iago
I wish my angel could tell me everything God knows
Yeah, one day ima find out
I told my girl I don't believe in side hoes
I told her I do not believe in good luck
I told her that I really hate the 5-0

Because I know they watchin' while I'm ridin' in my hooptie
They don't wanna see me ballin'
They would hate to see a college recruit me
And because it didn't happen, now I'm rappin
Now they laughing, like this how the system gone do me
I'm tryin to put on for my city
I just hope a fuckin' cop don't shoot me
Don't shoot me, yeah
