歌词
[Intro]
I don't see how a motherfucka could be from a city, live in a city
And hate on a motherfucka that's representing the city, and that
Supposed to be the city you love, the city you from
Shit don't make no motherfuckin' sense
If I love somethin', I'ma love anybody, you know what I'm sayin'?
Or anything that's representin' it especially if they doin' that shit right
That's fugazy
[Chorus]
I been ridin' through the city in a hooptie
I been ballin' since a youngin, like a **** wanted college to recruit me
Obviously, it didn't happen, now I'm rappin', tryna dodge all of these groupies
Yeah, I'm tryna put on for my city, I just hope a hating **** don't shoot me, don't shoot me
[Verse 1]
As kid, I was told once, yeah
If you ain't got nothin' good to say, then ****, don't say shit
Uh, I was told by a ho once, yeah
If the girl you fuckin' ain't wifey material, then watch out who you lay with
Damn, she told me she knows by experience
She's not the girl to put trust in
At that moment I became so curious
I asked her how do you find love then?
She said there's no love in these streets and you know that
When you get out the city, my ****, don't go back
[Chorus]
But I'm ridin' through the city in a hooptie
I been ballin' since a youngin, like a **** wanted college to recruit me
Obviously, it didn't happen, now I'm rappin', tryna dodge all of these groupies
Yeah, I'm tryna put on for my city, I just hope a hating **** don't shoot me, don't shoot me
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Move in silence is the motto (Yeah)
Dodging all of life's potholes
I skrrt, skrrt, skrrt when I dip, call me Nacho
When I take my shirt off I'm young Petey Pablo
Like what, I took it way back
Back when Eddy Curry was rookie
Back before I started writing music
Back before I—
Back before we could all see the truth without looking
Demons follow me whenever I go (I go)
I pray that God is watching, to tell the truth, I don't pray that often
Demons on my shoulder like Iago
I wish my angel could tell me everything God knows, yeah
One day I'ma find out
I told my girl I don't believe in side hoes
I told her I do not believe in good luck
I told her that I really hate the 5-0
[Chorus]
Because I know they watching while I'm ridin' in my hooptie (Woop, woop, woop, woop)
They don't wanna see me ballin', they would hate to see a college recruit me
And because it didn't happen, now I'm rappin', now they laughing, like this how the system gon' do me
I'm tryna put on for my city, I just hope a fuckin' cop don't shoot me
[Outro]
Don't shoot me, yeah
