Malik Yusef - Around Here lyrics

(Hook, AK) My homie lost his life (Around here) Sold plenty bags of nickle weed So we won't struggle (Around here) And if a n***a have static boom (Around here) It ain't no love in these streets But I love 'em Cause I'm from (Around here) We still lost souls (Around here) We gettin' money (Around here) We still slangin' (Around here) We still bangin' (Around here) We slangin' 'cain (Around here) It ain't no thang (Around here) We pull them thangs (Around here) (Verse 1, AK) They ask me why I rap, and I still live around here Cause money never changed the way I looked around here You know you gotta keep it grimey, for the playas and pimps You know you still not a ol' g, if the hood ya stiff The number one rule; don't bite the hand that feed ya Cause one day gon' come back around, when you sho' gon' need us, about When ya got kids, shorty suffer from teachin' Then ya try to give 'em a word, now you up and ya bleedin' You say it just ain't no love no mo' Been mad daily, you can lock us up, but still the problem won't go We livin' in this city full of rocks and blows My family got to eat and that's all a n***a knows (Hook, AK) My homie lost his life (Around here) Sold plenty bags of nickle weed So we won't struggle (Around here) And if a n***a have static boom (Around here) It ain't no love in these streets But I love 'em Cause I'm from (Around here) We still lost souls (Around here) We gettin' money (Around here) We still slangin' (Around here) We still bangin' (Around here) We slangin' 'cain (Around here) It ain't no thang (Around here) We pull them thangs (Around here) (Verse 2, Belo) Now put yo'self off in my shoes Dig into my gutter mind A child born is supposed to cry f**ed up in his own time See mama told me, "live and learn" "And never be and wicked man" But where I'm from, we trained to k** Tote thangs, and all that I run from no man, cause round here we'll f** you up n***as play that tough role, four-five gon' back you up An original dime to the streets When God calls, a man come We'll catch the n***as on the block Deranged, rest another son I done see-ith that I done Cause P died and I lost Well my buck, get the sawed-off Clear the whole block, and ride off And women sellin' s** for ends Thinkin' it'll pay the way Round here these n***as shife f** around and catch AIDS The land I'm from don't give a f** Picture babies in the cold Starvin', gotta fend-for-self Catch a case for servin' old And n***as claimin' they yo homies Settin' you up, on thirst-mode My friend is my friend Trade that for no soul (Hook, AK) My homie lost his life (Around here) Sold plenty bags of nickle weed So we won't struggle (Around here) And if a n***a have static boom (Around here) It ain't no love in these streets But I love 'em Cause I'm from (Around here) We still lost souls (Around here) We gettin' money (Around here) We still slangin' (Around here) We still bangin' (Around here) We slangin' 'cain (Around here) It ain't no thang (Around here) We pull them thangs (Around here) (Verse 3, N.A.R.D) Finna bust my strap at these wigs (Around here) Criminal wit' three strikes That street fight wit' n***as (Around here) It's a drop, wit' the Feds on my back Gotta get a pack off (Around here) See n***as don't change (Around here) Gotta make stacks (Around here) Rush to the crushin', got 'em duckin', clutchin' them thangs (Around here) Will the lights go off?
