[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)
