[Intro]
I'm from a hood where its lawless
But we walk around like we flawless
You know these young kings lawless
But we walk around like we flawless
Just the curse of the ghetto
Somehow I've seen the worst of the ghetto
[Verse 1]
I'ma do what I wanna, drink what I wanna
Standing on this block sippin my corona
See a shorty pa** by, I'm just hoping that I bone her
Without tryna respect her, cause in my bed is where I want her right now
I'm jus explaining the lifestyle
How many black kids gotta die before you save our lives now?
Every day I ride down Frelinghuysen
And see the black cloud flying over the hood, it's not surprising
Somebody sniffing rock if they not dying in they housing
Real drug dealers is the ones doing supplying
I wonder who supply them, the U.S. of A
If you bring it to they face, they gone lie, it's ok
We so foul innocent kids getting hit up with strays
I'm suppose to feel you n***as cause y'all tryna get paid
Ya'll just snakes in the shade that should lie in the grave
Instead, y'all in ever part of this horrible maze
[Hook]
I just hope you got some hope for me
I just hope you got some hope for me, my n***a pray for me
I just hope you got some hope for me
I just hope you got some hope for me, my n***a pray for me
Cause I can't see the sunshine
All I see is one time
So what do you do
When they pull that thang out on you? I thought you knew them n***as lawless
Where anything goes, anything goes
Anything goes, anything go-o-oes
I thought you knew them n***as lawless
Where anything goes, anything goes
Anything goes, anything go-o-oes
Ah ha, I thought you knew them n***as lawless
And I pray God
Watches me
My hands up
I can't breathe
Nah, n***a f** that my n***a bust back yo bust back
Nah, n***a f** that my n***a bust back yo bust back
My n***a bust back yo bust back
You would do that sh** to your brotha
You would do that sh** to your brotha
You would do that sh** to your brotha
You would do that sh** to your brotha
You would do that sh** to your brotha
[Verse 2]
I'ma smoke what I wanna, drink what I wanna
Standing on this block it's obvious we loners
A couple high school diplomas from a system that was built
To weaken the minds of all these black children getting k**ed
That henny got me feeling like it's easing the pain
So much easier than chains, so the cycle remains
Screaming this is my hood, but we don't own a thing
Can't support your kids but you rocking a new chain
Go by a new name, but to them ya just a n***a
Drive a car ya can't afford rims a little bigger
Little mo' lean get cha little mo' sicker
So you could turn into a useless ol' n***a
Another black kid down, cop free, go figure
Middle finger to the people run the whole system
If you black and you don't agree, no hopes with ya
Middle finger to the people run the whole system
[Hook]
And I pray God
Watches me
My hands up
I can't breathe
I just hope you got some hope for me
I just hope you got some hope for me, my n***a pray for me
I just hope you got some hope for me
I just hope you got some hope for me, my n***a pray for me
Cause I can't see the sunshine
All I see is one time
So what do you do
When they pull that thang out on you? I thought you knew them n***as lawless
Where anything goes, anything goes
Anything goes, anything go-o-oes
I thought you knew them n***as lawless
Where anything goes, anything goes
Anything goes, anything go-o-oes
Ah ha, I thought you knew them n***as lawless
My n***a pray for me
