The Holdup - Neighborhood lyrics

[Verse 1] wake me up for school even tho we're always late you were watching 20 kids just to make sure that we ate and I'm proud of you, no one did it quite like you living with our cousins just so we could pay the rent you were always working late tryna cash in on those tips i was mad at you, but know i understand that too I'm thinking now you were my age making minimum wage two little boys and you're keeping us safe no time for yourself, we needed your help that's true ‘cause i remember the yugo and the minivan we got top ramen noodles give me anything ‘cause you deserve dreams, for all of those things we always had you [Hook] i know your tired of making good i promise you a neighborhood i know I'm trying but I'm just getting started ‘cause i promise you a neighborhood [Verse 2] you were always on my side even when you were yelling maybe i was smoking weed but at least i ain't selling got in trouble with the cops you knew i was no felon me and my brother stressed you out so i just gotta tell you that I'm sorry for the selfish things we did should've thanked you more for the way we lived you were young and you did what you could do got a man and we know he's a good one ‘cause I've grown but I've watched you grow too and i hope it don't sound like old news but i promise your the reason for the good i got and I'm trying now to give you everything you want like our family living on the block you wanna see your sister, take a little walk ‘cause you deserve dreams, for all you gave me I've always had you [Hook] i know your tired of making good i promise you a neighborhood i know I'm trying but I'm just getting started ‘cause i promise you a neighborhood
