Where Life Takes Me
Look
From my sides where these young niggas grow up
Dreams of being rich we gon go up
From the bottom we gon get it from the floor up
It's not an option can't afford to loose
Blessed to have made it this far
One day they'll know who we are
Everyday-aaay, inspiration
Life uncertain
Wonder where it's finna take me (look)
From a cold city
It ain't really safe to keep a warm heart
Living how they live
If you ain't dead or locked, you was torn apart
And I never hated
Nigga stayed patient and I played my part
Inner city gang neighborhood is where the story starts
Back in middle school
Remember wearing my Adidas sneakers
They was laced blue
Older homie from the projects was like
"Lil homie, them some fly shoes"
All the gang graffiti that I saw around
Just confirmed what I already knew
And my pops stayed out in the Floss
Couple blocks down from 092
I was prolly 12 seeing older niggas
Do a handshake I thought was really cool
Then I found out that they really shoot
It made me never wanna gangbang
But a older loc from back home
In the 50's, nigga knew ma dukes
Knew me from a youth
I remember hangin with them niggas
That my momma said I shoulda never knew
Kinda sick, nigga life's a bitch & then ya die
Got robbed by a couple op niggas
And I almost got shot one time
That's when I started gettin' high
Like fuck the tears that I never cried
And that's when I really came outside
That's when I really came outside (outside)
From my sides where these young niggas grow up
Dreams of being rich we gon go up
From the bottom we gon get it from the floor up
It's not an option can't afford to loose
Blessed to have made it this far
One day they'll know who we are
Everyday-aaay, inspiration
Life uncertain, wonder where it's finna take me (yeah)
Fast forward now I'm 19
Sittin on a bench out in H Park
Gettin dimes off while niggas play ball
But we all dip when the trey spark or the cops come
Hadda leave the park a few times
Cuz the homies didn't know where I was from
Shyse man that's forever bro
Cuz he made sure I never got jumped
And I remember the first time I seen a DP
Hadda stay outside that fence if you wasn't GC
I was tempted to turn gang
But that couldn't be me
Cuz most niggas in the set
Been about that life nigga since a pre-teen
And on top of that I was suicidal
Hoping I would be collateral
If the homies got into it with a rival
If he die, fuck it Ima die too
But grandma prayers really work (yeah they really work)
Still I got a couple dead homies laying in the dirt
That's when I cried cuz it really hurts
I just pray niggas be aight
Cuz I can't change niggas lives
All this pain goes into the mic
And free the homies doin time
Nigga what a time to be alive
I just pray niggas be aight
Cuz I can't change niggas lives
No I can't change niggas lives
But the came far
From my sides where these young niggas grow up
Dreams of being rich we gon go up
From the bottom we gon get it from the floor up
It's not an option can't afford to loose
Blessed to have made it this far
One day they'll know who we are
Everyday-aaay, inspiration
Life uncertain, wonder where it's finna take me (yeah)
From my sides where these young niggas grow up
Dreams of being rich we gon go up
From the bottom we gon get it from the floor up
It's not an option can't afford to loose
Blessed to have made it this far
One day they'll know who we are
