Hometown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Spent my life in the hood, never seen nothin' different
Everybody told me, "Nigga get the money and the bitches."
Hit the show and grab a blunt
And let the liquor fill your liver
Preacher promise better days
I'm thinkin', "nigga how you figure?"

All my family still broke, on welfare
Talkin 'bout heaven better livin', but it's hell here
Tryna dodge the block and the cops and it's so rare
And if the enemies is bustin' shots, got 'em all scared

Tryna find a way up, 'cause I know down
I'm just tryna be the first to make it from my home town
Got a couple likes and everybody think I'm on now
Finally find a wave and they all lookin' for the boat now (Slow down)

I ain't f*ckin' with you if it wasn't from the get go
I'm talkin Montell Jordan, snotty nose and the Crisco
Lately you my dog, [?] actin' like a bitch though
Down since Nintendo but you betta not switch though

[Chorus]
Tryna make it out the hood like condo
Make sure the family good like I know
Finna put my city on like I know
Real [?] didn't make a lotta con dough

Yeah I'm from the woods
And I done seen low
And I done been po
But now I want mo

[Verse 2]
It's ignorant to think that I don't want a whip With some rims, 26
And a way to feed my family with a pocket full of chips

I ain't dumb, I know life is just a gamble
Want the lime light, cuz I'm tired of lightin' candles

{?] watchin' over [?]
Had to scrape from tryna put these kids through college
'cause there ain't no other way
You got me thinkin' about the day
They took my momma's son away
I shoulda f*ckin' blacked out and went a really copped a ca
Let that motha f*cka spray

Have they family all blacked out
Gang signs wacked out
How you wanna act now?
Anybody trippin', you can get it 'cause I'm strapped now
Spend my life in prison, but at least I laid they ass down

But come to find out that I'm finna be a father
Inside a life is growin' doctor said it's finna be a daughter
Tryna break the cycle finally take my people farther
Anger turn to motivation got me really workin' harder

[Chorus] x2
Tryna make it out the hood like condo
Make sure the family good like I know
Finna put my city on like I know
Real [?] didn't make a lotta con dough

Yeah I'm from the woods
And I done seen low
And I done been po
But now I want mo
