Reminiscing ya heard me
You gotta feel me
I was just a lil homie hanging in the Hoodd
Shooting dice on the corner up too No good
Mama stop me said
Boy you better beat me home
Cause when the sun goes down
Is when the devil roams
You said you started from the bottom
I think that's a lie
You said you got it out the mud
But you extra dry
Why you tryna front dawg when you living good
Raise with a silver spoon look we out the hood
Mom and dad did the best they could With what we had
Seven mouths to feed
But we always got fed
We was on that box cheese
And that canned meat
Frying bologna on the stove
Look we had to eat
What you know bout roaches
All up in ya bath tub
Hit that light switch
Them jokers didn't even budge
Use too go on shopping sprees
Up in goodwill
But only if my daddy had money
After bills
Hanging with the d-boys
Fighting ever day
Hollowing at them girl
Tryna get too second base
Thirteen drinking mad dawg 20/20
At the jr. high dances
Feeling super silly
I was just a lil homie
Hanging in the hood
Shooting dice on the corner
Up too no good
Mama stop me said
Boy you better beat me home
Cause when the sun goes down
Is when the devil roams
You said you started from the bottom
I think that's a lie
You said you got it out the mud
But you extra dry
Why you tryna front dawg
When you living good
Raise with a silver spoon
Look we out the hood
You ain't ready for the truth
You ain't bout that life
Nine people small house
Parents sacrificed
You ain't have no box fan
Sitting in your windows
Your house was full of a.c
We had too wait for winter
You ain't fight everyday
Back and forth to school
Knives in my backpack
The streets had no rules
You ain't never had to trade
Food stamps for cash
Walk in to exxon
Trade coins for gas
Tell you pieces of my life
Boy you wouldn't imagine
Ever seen that Show shameless
That shit really happens
Move down south
Started paying close attention
Cops use to chase me
Just because my pigment
I was just a lil homie
Hanging in the hood
Shooting dice on the corner
Up too no good
Mama stop me said
Boy you better beat me home
Cause when the sun goes down
Is when the devil roams
You said you started from the bottom
I think that's a lie
You said you got it out the mud
But you extra dry
Why you tryna front dawg
When you living good
Raise with a silver spoon
Look we out the hood
Lower Alton representing
Still to this day
A lil country hood
But as real as could be
What you know bout ambo s
And them Martindale's
They always kept it hundred
Even when in jail
Use to front
In front ya girl
Cause you had that heat
I told you
You gone have too kill me
If we in the streets
My daddy said son
You know a scared man
Will kill you
So if you talking gun play
I can't really feel you
But if you wanna throw them hands
We can go all night
Cause johnsonboys in the building
And we love too fight
They use to say
That boy got dragon blood
In his veins
Cause once you start that fire
Ain't no putting out the flames
I was just a lil homie
Hanging in the hood
Shooting dice on the corner
Up too no good good good
Good
