[Verse 1: Lay Low]
Nowadays n***as shoot
Before they learn to aim
Nowadays girls f**
Before they learn your name
Little n***as getting popped
Cuz they ain't learn the game
All I'm sayin
It wouldn't hurt to change
Little n***as walk the block
Like it's all good
Till they gettin popped
Caught up in the wrong hood
Nowadays n***a ain't sh** sweet
I love my city
But I hate these streets
Like damn
How you gonna do me like that
I'm just trynna put me and you
On the map
And now n***as wanna act shady
When n***as get quiet
That's when they start hating
When the money starts coming
Bet the hands start shaking
Everybody could succeed
You just gotta have patience
Gotta learn to live through the struggle
Don't talk about the hustle
You ain't been through the troubles
[Hook 1: Lay Low]
Where I'm from
Little girls getting knocked up
Babydaddy's either dead or locked up
Take your time
Better learn the game right
Cuz don't nobody
Wanna feel what the pain like (2x's)
[Verse 2: Koncept]
I'm from a city
That gets down to the gritty
Where love is extinct
And we wonder
What the f** is pity
Tired of being piss poor
Hate living so sh**ty
So we say
fu*k THE WORLD
Middle fingers up
It's time to get busy
f**in b**hes unprotected
Smoking weed
Sippin Hennessy
Only six-teen
And got twenty-six enemies
Gotta add one more
Cuz this b**h
Claiming she's having his seed
She got around
So he don't know who to believe
f**ed up ain't it
They say the youth is blind
So I spit them an image of it
That can't be painted
Cuz it's tainted
Infatuated by the evils of the world
And we're the ones to blame
For the sh** we speak
Some say it's just words on a beat
But for me and these kids
This is more than what you see
Hear or feel
Matter of fact
It's where we from
This the Chi
This is real life
You couldn't stand a chance
Let me see you try to survive
[Hook 2: Lay Low]
Where I'm from
Little girls getting knocked up
Babydaddy's either dead or locked up
Take your time
Better learn the game right
Cuz don't nobody
Wanna feel what the pain like (2x's)
[Verse 3: Sarcastik]
Out in a rush
Most not seeming legit
Trynna flush out these thoughts
Cuz I'm thinking of sh**
Yo the paradise I seek
Doesn't seem to exist
So I'm trynna make a reality
Out my dreams for the kids
How many
More devils convict us
Before the ghetto addicts us
To a level of riches and lust
Flooded in metal
It's just a level to discuss
A reason to makes our blood someone to even distrust
(Spanish lyrics)
Why am I screaming
Cuz my people suffer more
And I found a reason why here
Because we come for war
Though no one wants to feel
What the pain is like
But we do though
Seeking for a life
But everything turns (Spanish lyric)
Cuz all this pain that's inside
Got me enraged in the mind
Figure be patient
Take it day at a time
[Hook 3: Lay Low]
Where I'm from
Little girls getting knocked up
Babydaddy's either dead or locked up
Take your time
Better learn the game right
Cuz don't nobody
Wanna feel what the pain like (2x's)
