Black Thought - How I Got Over lyrics

[Hook - Dice Raw] Out on the streets, where I grew up First thing they teach us is not to give a f** That type of thinking can't get you nowhere Someone has to care [Verse 1 - Black Thought] How I got over, where the people come apart Don't nobody care about you, only thing you got is God Out here in these streets, if you get down on your luck You can stand out, with a hand out but nobody give a f** Out here in these streets, every man is for himself They ain't helping no one else, it's a hazard to your health Living life in these cold streets Hey, who's worrying about you, babe? When you wilding out, running around in these streets? [Hook] [Verse 2 - Black Thought] When you on the corners, there's too much drama Living with the police right behind ya It's always more than a slight reminder We living in a war zone like Rwanda Before I go back to the Heavenly Father Pray for me if it ain't too much bother Whatever don't break me will make me stronger I feel like I can't take too much longer It's too much lying, and too much fighting I'm all cried out cause I grew up crying They all got a sales pitch I ain't buying They trying to convince me that I ain't trying We uninspired, we unadmired And tired and sick of being sick and tired Of living in the hood where the shots are fired We dying to live, so to live, we dying You just like I am [Hook] [Verse 3 - Black Thought] Somebody's gotta care, and I swear it isn't fair In suspended animation, we ain't trying to go nowhere Out here in these streets, we're so young and all alone We ain't even old enough to realize we're on our own Living life in these hard streets Where it's like they lost they mind Is there anyway to find? Are we running out of time out here? Listen, hey, who's worrying about you, babe? When you wilding out, running around in these streets? [Hook]
