listen to the shit i taught you
they don't like to see a black person win
if i go down when i end up out of town
just understand that i just wanted to live
'cause when you young and tryna make it where i'm from
they don't want to let you raise your own kids
fuck what these scary peoples always talkin' 'bout
you gotta get out there and take you a risk
2005 blessed me with my only child
i changed my life 'cause all her life went in and out
since my eighteenth she been my baby so she know i'm wild
since she been my baby so she know i'm wild
used to visit me in jail so she could see me smile
she say kids be tryna take my style
ain't think we would make it out
can't be from drummer gang if your kids say you ain't around
can't be from drummer gang if you ain't finna lay shit down
i told my daughter never be like her
stay by my side when i got shot
that's how i know you special
these bad ass kids are not your peers so don't go fold to pressure
this ain't 'bout tough or weak no more
this shit 'bout thinkin' better
me and my daughter bang the hood
and i got metal for a shin
still ain't no half steppin'
you know it ain't nothin' changin' but our addresses
listen to the shit i taught you
they don't like to see a black person win
if i go down when i end up out of town
just understand that i just wanted to live
'cause when you young and tryna make it where i'm from
they don't want to let you raise your own kids
fuck what these scary peoples always talkin' 'bout
you gotta get out there and take you a risk
they don't wanna let me raise my own kid
