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 fuckin' 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 fuckin' blacked out and went a really copped a ca

Let that motha fucka 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
