Where I'm from people
don't make it out
You either get a job or get a hustle
And try to build yo' clout
And that's only if you don't get caught
up in that vice's trap
Addicted to strong liquor or even
smokin' crack
It ain't shit down here,
man, I'm trying to tell ya
And this ain't the first you heard it
Them old folks tried to tell ya
Gone to that army boy
Get the hell from 'round here
Go see something in this world
That you ain't seen, my dear
But you ain't listen
You got a job makin' minimum wage
And if you work hard enough
You'll be a supervisor one of these days
Now you doin' pretty good
And you makin' a lil' change
You even put rims on the whip
Man, that bitch clean
Now everybody in the hood see you
And they know yo' name
Got a few stacks in yo' pocket
Got lil' local fame
But, boy, you still stay at
yo' mama house
That shit kinda lame
But I ain't judging
'Cause she probably told ya, "You
ain't have to leave"
You just chippin' in on the light bill
Living life with ease
By now you done caught the attention
Of the neighborhood skeezers
You know them chicks, they kinda cute
But done fucked all the geezers?
Whole hood done ran
through 'em
It ain't really nothin' to 'em
All you see is she got a lil' fatty
And a few baby dad dies
On that WIC and them food stamps
You know them local tramps
You get mesmerized
She got them pretty eyes
And know how to twerk it
You start hittin' it on the regular
Damn, she know how to work it
She tell ya, "You don't
need protection
I been on birth con trol"
So you run up in it raw
Boy, you ain't got no control
You just happy to have a steady piece of ass,
you know
Didn't take long
Now you done wifed up the neighborhood ho
It ain't just a song
It's every day where I'm from lil' bro
It don't take long
She done convinced you
She don't need no pill
You ain't trippin' either
way
'Cause you love the way it feel
Now you got a baby on the way
