Peoples & Folks (Radio Edit)
I just want to hoop I just want to ball
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
Brother in the streets I didn't get involved
I just want to hoop I just want to ball
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
Father in the streets I didn't get involved
Got a long ride from the PACE bus
PACE bus to the Red Line
Red Line to the Green Line
Fiends dying in the mean time
School boy in his church clothes
Still a virgin with church hoes
Singing choir writing fire
Age 16 with an open nose
Back when Maly was Lil Lord
Join the set or they forcing ya
Five deep in a Corsica
Playing Triple Six like an orchestra
Niggas start to hang then they start to bang
Since they took my shoes I haven't been the same
Got my ass beat that was last week
Happened in a Flash feel like Eddie Kane
I just want to hoop I just want to ball
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
Brother in the streets I didn't get involved
I just want to hoop I just want to ball
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
Father in the streets I didn't get involved
Got jumped in a ball game
Punched the first one and pulled his chain
Punched the second one smoking a square
The fuck do I care y'all all lame
Hit the ground and I balled up
Kicked and stomped til I called up
Please God let these marks
Leave me alone til I'm all tough
When I'm all grown y'all all fucked
Pull all guns and they all buck
They all run and they all tuck
That cloth I'm from isn't y'all cut what's up
Fuck I'm on the ground and I'm leaking
Tried to fight the gang and I'm tweaking
Dust my clothes off like I'm descent
At least I'm breathing
Violence for no reason
Summertime Chi is that season
If I call my cousin up and load a dozen up
A lot of niggas start bleeding yeah
A lot of niggas start leaving yeah
A lot of niggas start grieving
I'm a church boy but I'm hurt boy
My pride too and I'm seething but
Dave ass beat us to the punch
Caught Folks lacking pulled up at lunch
Back at Thornton before recording
Didn't say a word but I had a hunch
Tried to talk but didn't go well
Buddy shrugged it off oh well
Dave stomped him out
Straight Punk'd him out
In front of hoes and they go tell
Folks and them on Dave coattail
He the chief and they know well
If they violate he annihilate
Hot rounds out of cold shells
And me I'm stuck in the middle
Whole lot of questions like fuck all y'all riddles
How you know Dave
Who is Rashad
Are you with the Lords
Or you with the Mob
What are the odds
I just want to hoop I just want to ball
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
Brother in the streets I didn't get involved
I just want to hoop I just want to ball
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
Father in the streets I didn't get involved
Police at the door I didn't ever call
Ten toes down I didn't ever fall
