Back in high school I used to catch the train
Lookin' out the window pane,
as it's getting rained on
Plugged in to my cell- phone
Tryin' to keep my brain strong
Almost falling asleep, my head drops,
But I get up, I get out, started
Shoulda' bought a ticket,
My feet plop on the pavement
Got away with a lot, they can't
Rollin' up on my pops, stuck
in a daze, steady countin' my paper
Got paid, 'round the time I started
Can't tell nobody how much you
got when you gettin' paper
These niggas' always watchin'
and grabbin' they calculator
I do not have no time for this,
dawg, I'mma see ya' later
Homie, I don't wanna' build with ya'
Hell nah, talkin' 'bout how you
Yeah right, yeah boy, I hear ya' talkin',
Yeah them boys they be jockin',
but they ain't us (ain't us)
Three young men were found shot to death in a Compton
How many niggas' gon' die
How many real ones alive?" Let's
What they had to do to survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny,
How many niggas' gon' die be
"How many real ones alive? Let's
What they had to do to survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny,
Mama said, don't go outside,
Homies out, hoopin' in the street
Had her eyes on me like a hawk,
Mama, I left somethin' in the car,
Dawg, I'm just trynna get involved
"Who Shot 2 tall", "Who Shot 2 Tall"
These are the things that could
These niggas' ain't got nothin' to do
But take the life of a man,
Niggas' always gettin' murdered over nothin',
You're my brother, you're my blood,
you're my cousin, I swear
it's no discussion, I swear
Let me know if we gon' turn this into somethin',
How many niggas' gon' die be
How many real ones alive? Let's go on
What they had to do to survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny,
How many niggas' gon' die
How many real ones alive? Let's
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny, the summer's coming
