Musiq Soulchild
Leave This Place
[Intro]
C-Life on the beat, boy

[Chorus: Musiq Soulchild & Bizzle]
They could say whatever to you, but I gotta keep it one-hunnid (Uh, yeah)
We keep it one-hunnid (Yeah, uh, uh)
'Cause I could say a lot of things that could even paint you one hunnid pictures (Yeah)
One hunnid pictures, yeah
But if I had a million dollars
Man, I promise I would leave this place (I would leave this place, uh)
If you had it in the bank (Yeah)
Would you leave this place? This place (Would you leave this place? Uh)

[Verse 1: Bizzle]
Mother's cryin' from bullets flyin' and bodies droppin' (Droppin')
A snitcher dies, so callin' for help? Not an option (Option)
Then choppin', kickin', that K'll get to karate choppin' (Bow)
Like it's a martial artist outside of your mom's apartment (Yeah)
So what you do if you can't call the cops but ain't a gangster? (Gangster)
You either take it or you spray the banger (Uh)
And that ain't real to me, that's fake, dawg (That's fake, dawg)
What kind of choice is that for us to have to make, dawg? (Make, dawg)
Can't even work in my own bidness, you get banged, dawg (Uh)
It's twenty of 'em and they strapped, run a scrap and get scraped, dawg (Pssh)
You just hate the Feds 'cause they gang bigger (Uh-huh)
You say they racist, but livin' like you hate **** (For real)
Real talk
[Chorus: Musiq Soulchild & Bizzle]
They could say whatever to you, but I gotta keep it one-hunnid (Uh, yeah)
We keep it one-hunnid (Yeah, uh, uh)
'Cause I could say a lot of things that could even paint you one hunnid pictures (Yeah)
One hunnid pictures, yeah
But if I had a million dollars
Man, I promise I would leave this place (I would leave this place, uh)
If you had it in the bank (Yeah)
Would you leave this place? This place (Would you leave this place? Uh)

[Verse 2: Bizzle]
The hood may not be what we made it, but it's what we keep it
The white man don't even come 'round here
And I ain't tryna downplay what was done 'round here
But look around, dawg, all I see is us 'round here
Some make it out, we call 'em fake 'cause they don't drop by the wave
But if he do, the hater in you just gon' plot on his chain
It's like we hate to see each other winnin' unless we winnin' too
You want what winners got but you not willin' to do what winners do
Killin' over tennis shoes, screamin' out "Black lives matter"
And I bet they do 'til they rockin' red or blue
At times, I love the 'hood, at times, I hate it here, they murder sheep
You gotta be a wolf just to make it here (Uh)

[Chorus: Musiq Soulchild & Bizzle]
They could say whatever to you, but I gotta keep it one-hunnid (Uh, yeah)
We keep it one-hunnid (Yeah, uh, uh)
'Cause I could say a lot of things that could even paint you one hunnid pictures (Yeah)
One hunnid pictures, yeah
But if I had a million dollars
Man, I promise I would leave this place (I would leave this place, uh)
If you had it in the bank (Yeah)
Would you leave this place? This place (Would you leave this place?)
[Verse 3: Bizzle]
I remember sittin' up in class when it hit us
Me and two other cats were chattin' 'bout who hood was sicker
That chattin' turned to braggin', next we was all debatin'
And you can picture all the foolish things that we was sayin'
"My hood Crip and Blood", "My 'hood GDs and folks"
"My hood, they kill you quicker", "My hood, they kill the most"
"My hood, they slangin' dope", "My hood, they squeezin' toast"
'My hood, they drive by", "My hood, they squeezin' close"
"We had the murder capital, but y'all ain't been in years"
"My hood, the kids killin'", "My 'hood, they killin' kids"
Fightin' over last place, how we came up
Braggin' 'bout the same stuff we should have been ashamed of (Uh)

[Chorus: Musiq Soulchild]
They could say whatever to you, but I gotta keep it one-hunnid (Uh, yeah)
We keep it one-hunnid (Yeah, uh, uh)
'Cause I could say a lot of things that could even paint you one hunnid pictures (Yeah)
One hunnid pictures, yeah
But if I had a million dollars
Man, I promise I would leave this place (I would leave this place, uh)
If you had it in the bank (Yeah)
Would you leave this place? This place (Would you leave this place?)

[Outro: Musiq Soulchild]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
They could say whatever to you, but I gotta keep it one hundred
We keep it one hundred wit' you
'Cause I could say a lot of things that could picture you one hundred, picture you one hundred, yeah
But if I had a million dollars, then I promise I would leave this place
I would leave this place, yeah
If you had it in the bank, would you leave this place?
Leave this place, leave this place
