GoldLink - The Heart lyrics

[Verse 1] I never really knew my pops My pops would push the dope And that's just how we living off the sh** in what you kiddies smoke Pack and sell it up, flip a couple bucks Buy a toy just to shut me up, then he eat his lunch And I love my momma but she never was around So she wouldn't even know half of the half of the sh** that tell you All she knew was that I was bad in school And sh** just barely that I was toking a gun but they just weren't busting back f** it, my brother was the man around the town And I was just the boy who want to be and never found And they think he want to live so He found the sh** he wanna die for The block, the streets, the hood, my momma My chopper was the only thing that kept me safe And I ain't talking bout the chopper packed up in the safe See, I was working pretty hard just to get up out So the ghetto was my slammer, trying to break up out Break up out, so I could be the best that I could be So I could be the leader of 100 million nations, that's an occupation That you couldn't handle, God gave me the gift And reason put me through some seasons Just for me to straight believe in Myself and all of the troubles in which I dealt Put the nine down and keep the peace and try to help My brother and my sisters and my n***as and my lady-friends And that straight depends On the limits in which we living in Brothers turn to haters and my sisters turn to b**hes And my n***as turn to k**ers and my mind just goes ballistic I'm just so f**ing terrific, no I'm not b**h, I'm just sick'nen I'm a calm person when I want to sit and listen Remember Uncle Sunny, June Bug, and Uncle JR? Outside of the court and Watch Park up in Marshall Told me I'm the next up out the hood, maybe Harvard I didn't give a f**, I just wanted to be where you are Unc The only n***a that just got up out was me and AI Georgetown days was the best around the city My Nintendo was my outlet, we were broke we had no money Like the white kids, still wearing Jordans like the white kids Go-go music banging at the park we had our Father's Day sh**, that was my favorite day, I wish I had another day So I could be a kid again, bet I fix a Guilligen Mama she don't f** with that, so now you'll never know my work He'll never know it hurts But I'm alright cause I'm the greatest rapper Ever from this city, and they're going to hear this record first Tell him that his baby boy a legend and he should've stayed Never should've cheated with that b**h, RIP he payed f** her whole life, I hate that b**h he took her f** her wife And you have a child that will never f** with you in life Very welcome pops, you're the reason for my f**ing anger Gotta keep on praying cause no more wishing for your f**ing's danger
