Lyrics

I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's Dope boys rollin' through, shittin' on ya heavy Fifteens in the trunk beatin' down your block Only 4 years old when Biggie got shot I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block Young niggas slanging on the block, getting off them rocks Now we livin' better now, Coogi sweater now Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now But I... Came up in criminal days Living these criminal ways, what can I say Hugging the block every day Grindin' and making a way And that I pray, for better days That it don't be the same tomorrow Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle And say (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I pray for more better days (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I know that I can feel change (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I pray for more better days (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I know that I can feel change Everyday ain't good but everyday ain't bad Mama always said show thanks for what you have Boy never forget to realize you're blessed This cold world can rot you if you let it Now I'm out here tryna get it, really out here tryna get it Always knew that I would make it, maybe it was so prophetic Cause I came from the bottom and the humbleness beginnings From the youngest nigga grindin' to the youngest nigga wining Came up in criminal days Living these criminal ways, what can I say Hugging the block every day Grindin' and making a way And that I pray, for better days That it don't be the same tomorrow Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle And say (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I pray for more better days (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I know that I can feel change (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I pray for more better days (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I know that I can feel change 'Fore you die you make your mark and reach new levels Want the bread, want the diamonds and the bezels And if these bitches that you want, have several Just gotta know, lotta shit's temporary It won't last, no, no, it won't last, no Meaning it til' here Next thing you know it's all gone That's why I been on my grizzy outchea Long as I grind, better days are near Came up in criminal days Living these criminal ways, what can I say Hugging the block every day Grindin' and making a way And that I pray, for better days That it don't be the same tomorrow Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle And say (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I pray for more better days (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I know that I can feel change (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I pray for more better days (Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey) I know that I can feel change
