yea

this is for my niggas in the struggle

uh

uh

uh

nothing but sweat

tears

just another perspective

yeah

yo

uh

lifestyles of the young

black and genius

sons strapped with guns packed in jeans

and the blunts got my lungs black as jesus

play with killers hung yack and slung crack for leisure

and tell a nigga run that and gun clap for sneakers

young niggas emulate what's coming out the speakers

so everything we learn came from rappers

not teachers

cause if we can't relate

then how the hell you gonna reach us?

surrounded by crooked cops and preachers

where my trust at?

no time to think about illegal when my stomachs touching

by any means

nigga

even if the gun is busted

i see the world for what it is now

i see the odds is looking slim for our kids now

cause

uh

it was a set up for my people to rise

my niggas slang

but i see the pain deep in they eyes

niggas living like they don't give a fuck

and i don't blame 'em

it's a cold world

live it up!

the things that i've seen

the dreams that i dream

the rain in my sky

the pain in my eyes

but know that it gets better baby

hope that it gets better baby

don't let this world break you

naw

naw

don't let them break you

yea

uh

i look up in the sky

see that ghetto birds circulate

and rollers on the block

my niggas on the curb

cursin them

another day in the ville

do i stay in and chill?

or go play in the field?

help my mother paying these bills

you tell me

nigga!

we all young

black

some strapped

them whites had they lunch pack for school

we had our guns stacked. and all a nigga wanna do is take his mother from that

but they'd rather lock us up and make sure we don't come back. to kill a nigga over beef and cheddar is even better

just one less coon they won't have to arrest. fuck a crooked cop three times

bitch

i'm getting cake and ain't a nigga finna eat mine

that's why a nigga looking like a street sign

posted on the corner 'til it's sleep time. wake up and it's feeling like somebody hit the rewind

cause them ghetto birds circulate

my niggas steal purse and 'em

another day in the city

my niggas say it with me

yea!

the things that i've seen

the dreams that i dream

the rain in my sky

the pain in my eyes

but know that it gets better baby

hope that it get better baby

don't let this world break you

naw

naw

don't let them break you
