[Intro]
You fear death, but you don't live life
I just pray we make it out the hood, that's where my heart livin'
I be tryin' to make it up out the hood, but it brought my heart-
On God

[Chorus]
I be tryin' to make it up out the hood, but that's where my heart live (Where my heart stay)
I be telling my heart like, "We need to move, your n***a got killed here" (We need to get away)
My heart said, "I got love out here" (I got love out here)
Even though they hate me, I know they love me deep inside
I be feelin' like Jesus (I be feelin' like Jesus), they gon' cross me 'til I start bleedin' ('Til I start bleedin')
Even in the winter, 12 hit the block, we still ain't freezin'
Can't stop, my people need me
But if I'll tell 'em no one time, they gonna look at me like E.T
They gonna swear that I ain't real (I ain't real), 'til I fuck around and pay her bills (Pay her bills)
I'ma be back real again

[Verse]
I'ma grab a booster up out the hood, tell her she ain't gotta steal again (Ain't gotta steal no more)
Say Rylo, you a booster too, 'cause you fucked around and stole my heart
I don't believe n***as, I know they frontin', I call them Rosa Parks
If I was a mechanic, I swear, I still couldn't tell these hoes apart
All these hoes the same, they be runnin' the same game
We know he a rat, we gonna make 'em change names
We gon' make them move outta town
N***as probably start throwing tomatoes
'Cause we keep they boos all around
Teacher ask me where my project at
I got a E 'cause I wanted take that woman and show her the hood
Dice game, we be talkin' like we wanna kill each other now
Young n***a, I call him nephew, but that ain't my brother child
I jumped straight in that water even though I seen the crocodiles
Ain't no cocaine, but when I'm hurtin', I probably still a crack a smile
Why they held they nuts on me so long? What I ever did to them? (What I did to y'all?)
So broke, had to treat them pints like roaches and we had to step on them (We had to step on them)
I gotta charge my phone and charge my car, I'ma pull up Tesla on them
Go ahead country boy, we still gotta tax 'em, but it ain't no hassle with him (Ain't no hassle)
A n***a say my name and I'ma get him hit, but I'm not gonna tackle him (Ain't gon' tackle him)
They be like, "I'ma talk 'bout him when he ain't around but I'm still gon' dap up him" (Still gon' dap up him)
I be lookin' for drink, even when I'm a thousand miles away from home (Away from home)
Told her that I'ma pull up, she gonna try and run and put her makeup on (Her makeup on)
Cartier diamonds trim, I swear, that's like ten Ray Bands on (Ten Ray Bands)
FaceTime the bitch, the ho ain't in jail, but he gonna try and take her phone
Gave him the top bunk, n***a go to prison like Ashton Kutcher, these n***as turned straight punks
Fuck where you from (Where you from), all we trust is guns (All we trust is guns)
I'ma fuck her sister but them little hood hoes ain't no nuns (Ain't no nuns)
If she say she pregnant, I guess that kid coming out her tongue
'Cause I nutted in her mouth or something
Had to run in the house for something
They put my dawgs in chains, I expected them all to change
So I wasn't even surprised, I ain't buyin' supplies
But I'ma pull up new school on they ass, kill 'em every time
[Chorus]
I be tryin' to make it up out the hood, but that's where my heart live (Where my heart stay)
I be telling my heart like, "We need to move, your n***a got killed here" (We need to get away)
My heart said, "I got love out here" (I got love out here)
Even though they hate me, I know they love me deep inside
I be feelin' like Jesus (I be feelin' like Jesus), they gon' cross me 'til I start bleedin' ('Til I start bleedin')
Even in the winter, 12 hit the block, we still ain't freezin'
Can't stop, my people need me
But if I'll tell 'em no one time, they gonna look at me like E.T
They gonna swear that I ain't real (I ain't real), 'til I fuck around and pay her bills (Pay her bills)
I'ma be back real again
