Never Change

Get down on my knees I pray to God, he keep me sane Every day we taking substance just to ease the pain I'm numb to it all I can't explain This shit is strange But in the hood bad or good Some shit a never change Some shit a never change People standing on the block Get knocked by the cops, fool, shooting at the ops Some shit a never change Some shit a never change Nigga standing by the store Tryna get off they little sack Pops in the hood, never have the full amount for the pack Tell them no they get some money They don't know how to act Young niggas off them with them sticks they ready to crash Police get on yo ass you got that shit you do the dash Why are you out there having fun Make sure you put some in the stash All the shit we've been through They don't even know the half Sometimes it feel good to sit back and just laugh My hood like the jungle Got them snakes and them lion If you ain't got tough skin, you'll be fooled by dinner time Sometime you got a resort to crime Make sure you survive Know some people working 9 to 5 barely getting by Know some veterans apply for Social Security and got denied In the hood we was taught What you give us we'll multiply Look me in my eye if I tell a lie Cross my heart hope to die We just play the cards we was dealt and We don't ask why Look me in my eye If I tell a lie Cross my heart I hope to die We just play the cards We was dealt We don't ask why Some things never change And one day we know we all Gotta take that ride Get down on my knees I pray to God, he keep me sane Every day we taking substance just to ease the pain I'm numb to it all I can't explain This shit is strange But in the hood bad or good Some shit a never change Some shit a never change People standing on the block Get knocked by the cops, fool, shooting at the ops Some shit a never change Some shit a never change
