Back in high school,
I used to catch the train home
Looking out the window,
pain as it's getting rained on
Listening to the beats
that's in my headphones
Plugged into my cell phone,
trying to keep my brain strong
Almost falling asleep, my
head drops
Nearly missing my stop,
but I get up, I get out
Started takin' a walk, saw the cops,
shoulda bought a ticket
But I did not, now here's the plot,
tryna see which fence that I should hop
My feet plop on the pavement,
got away with a lot, they can't
faze him
Rollin' up on my pot,
stuck in the days that he counted my paper
Got paid round the time
I started stretchin' my gauges,
I was off to the races
Can't tell nobody how much
you got
when you gettin' pa per
These niggas always watchin'
and grabbin' their calculator
I do not handle time for this dog,
I'ma see ya later
Homie, I don't wanna build with ya
Hell no, I'm talkin' bout how you
a real n***a
Yeah right, yeah boy, I hear you talkin'
But I don't trust ya,
them boys, they be jockin'
But they ain't us
How many n****s gon' die
before the summer's up?
How many ru ins alive
that's gonna count it up?
What they had to do to
survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny
The summer's comin'
How many niggas gon' die
before the summer's up?
How many ru ins alive
that's gonna count it up?
What they had to do to
survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny
The summer's comin'
Sitting on the couch,
chillin' at the house
Mama said, don't go outside
But I still try
Homies out hoopin' in the street
I just won the ball
Had her rise on me like a hawk
Till she got a call
Mama, I left somethin' in the car
I won't go too far, dawg
I'm just tryna get involved
Yo, what's up with y 'all?
Now we all playin' 21
Tryna have fun
Who was that over at the corner?
Damn, he got a gun
Who shot too tall?
Who shot too tall?
These are the things
that can fuck up my mood, 'all
These niggas ain't got nothin' to do
but take the life of a man
from my whole nother crew
It's like, niggas always
gettin' murdered
over nothin', I swear
You're my brother,
you're my blood,
you're my cousin, I swear
Anytime I got your back,
it's no discussion, I swear
Let me know if we gon' turn this into somethin',
I'm there
How many niggas gon' die
before the summer's up?
How many ru ins alive
that's gon' count it up?
What they had to do to
survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
one thing that you can't deny
Summer's coming,
how many niggas gon' die
before the summer's up?
How many ru ins alive
that's gonna count it up?
What they had to do to
survive?
Man, you don't wanna know
One thing that you can't deny
The summer's coming
Summer's coming,
summer's coming
Mamas cry ing, babies hungry
Niggas shooting, niggas run ning
What the hell is niggas doing?
People packing up and moving
Gang members still recruiting
Homie made it out of prison
Hit the block and start dealing
Last night, another killing
Who's the hero, who's the villain?
How you livin', how you livin',
how you livin', huh?
Uh, uh, uh, uh, how you livin',
how you livin', how you livin', huh?
Uh, yeah, how you livin', uh,
how you livin', how you livin', yeah, yeah
