The Game - Young n***as lyrics

[Intro] Ray Ray - So what's up Lil J? Lil J - We down Ray Ray Ray Ray - So what set you claiming? Lil J - Claiming Hoover and South Shores, we down with 32's in most quads, straight like that Ray Ray - Straight like that huh? [Verse 1] We grew up as friends We was 10, lil n***as on the block He ain't have his own basketball so we shared my rock His mama was a fiend, he ain't heard from his pops He used to share my clothes with him all the way down to his socks He would spend a night, that one night would turn into a week At least until his mama got back on her feet And she never did So he moved in with me, my mama, and my sisters Couldn't let him go to foster care cause she ain't trust the system So she took care of him like he was me Gave us everything she could back when sh** was all good [Hook] Just some young n***as We was just some young n***as We was just some young n***as [Verse 2] n***as turned 12 in '92, we was headed to the 7th grade Running 'round, stealing cars, dreaming about the better days Ducking strays, catching fades tryna make it through this maze Teachers out here smoking J's and wonder why we misbehave Same book, different page Another year, different age Cross colors, colors cross, bows turning into fades He started cripping, I started blooding Now we walking through the halls of school like we don't even know each other [Hook] Young n***a out in these streets (Out in these streets) We was just some young n***as (All in these streets to feed) Young n***as (Lord knows I don't want no enemies yeah) (Young n***as in the streets) [Verse 3] Started off as brothers but sometimes sh** falls apart How can I hate this n***a with all this love up in my heart With this n***a mean mugging Every time we in the cla** n***a tuck that blue rag or I'm beat your f**ing a** Guess my mind gone Caught him after school, he ain't had no ride home Still got that rag hanging, that's what got him fired on He pulled the strap so I pistol whipped him with the chrome Wasn't tryna k** him, coulda pulled the trigger I was just a young n***a [Hook] Young n***a out in these streets (Out in these streets) Just a young n***a (All in these streets to feed) Just a young n***a (Lord knows I don't want no enemies yeah) I was just a young n***a (Young n***as in the streets) [Verse 4] Whopped my n***a a**, he ain't take it on the chin Rumored started to spread, guess I saw him when I see him Two weeks pa** and graduation came around I was walking through the choir, .45 under my gown Had to take a leak, so I headed to the bathroom Corner of my eye, see him coming out of the cla** room We exchange words so I co*ked the 45th He shot, I shot back, thank God I ain't get hit But damn I miss my young n***as [Hook] (Out in these streets) Just a young n***a (All in these streets to feed) Just a young n***a (Lord knows I don't want no enemies yeah) I was just a young n***a (Young n***as in the streets) [Outro] Young n***as, young n***as, young n***as Ain't (?)
