Holdin' Down the Hood

I keep a thiccc broad chilling in my big car
Call a couple plugs then I'm switching out the sim card
I been in the type a jungles you wouldn't get far
Turnt my life to Jigsaw
Puzzles that get solved
Check the Rubiks I do this
I poured my soul into music
Poured the cash in the bag
Then I punch it till it bruises
Ghetto inflation that's my economic theory
I'm Pythagoras came to feed the chorus some Archimedes
The streets call me a Habibi cause I'm married to the game
Put the money in the bag put the checks in the bank
But you wouldn't understand
Cause you not from where I been
This is life behind bars I been locked in the pen

I been holding down the hood my whole life (Whole Life)
I been holding down the hood
I been holding down the hood
I been holding down the hood my whole life (Whole Life)
I been holding down the hood
I been holding down the hood

Life's biggest predicament
It treats me how i pictured it
So intimate with instruments
My magnitude is infinite
Doing what I think is right
And writing what I think is wrong
If you not out to get the bag then we won't ever get along
I left my ego on the wings of a eagle
Cause either I ether the beat or have to do something equally lethal
The needle inside my moral compass
Told me I need to act now
Went from being the class clown
To never willing to back down
Praise Allah
Bend the rules but never break the laws
If you got hate in your heart it's time to take it off and taste the sauce
Cause I been dripping in it
The way these rappas spitting you'd think that lyricism is still forbidden
So (Sorry I'm Not Sorry) for the (SINS) that I've committed
But the ones that's in the streets recognize that I'm committed
To eradicate the wackiness
The fastest
Don't ask if
Ima flip the world on its axis
Cause that's just
How the story goes
Jeronimo
I'm on a roll
Puffin on that Sour dough put me on the Honor Roll
So where they end is the place that I begin
This is life behind bars I been locked in the pen

I been holding down the hood my whole life (Whole Life)
I been holding down the hood
I been holding down the hood
I been holding down the hood my whole life (Whole Life)
I been holding down the hood
I been holding down the hood

Lifes so short I ain't tripping about nobody
I gotta live it the way I want to
I want you to live the way you wanna live yours
That's what I'm promoting
