Doin’ Bad

Lyrics

[Intro: K-Rino] What's up homey, long time no see, man Yeah i'm chilling man, how you been doing? That's good, good to see you, you looking good How your mama been doing? Real good man, tell her I said "Hi" man Got much love to y'all, stay up all right, yeah [Verse 1: K-Rino] Man I'm doing bad, I'ma come real with it It ain't struggle that make a man, it's how the man deal with it Last days you gotta recognize the negative ways and turn from 'em We all make mistakes G but the key is to learn from 'em I've been blessed to come across a little paper Made a lick and spent it quick then had lost a little paper Appreciating what we got, we true hood scholars Then sat in circles with my partners, pitching in change to scrape for 5 dollars When ya leave home the world change all of a sudden Full grown, you on your own partner, the world don't owe you nothing I'm in this hole ducking and dodging the Grim Reaper But the more I try to dig my way out it's getting deeper I'm doin' bad baby [Hook: Kim Broussard & K-Rino] When everything around you is going wrong (Man, I'm doin' bad up in the hood but I'm still hanging) And hard times seems to last too long (I gotta stop all that singing and start swinging) Your old school homeboys dead and gone (Man, I'm doin' bad up in the hood but I'm still hanging) The game don't change keep pushing on (Feel that, uh) [Verse 2: K-Rino] I'm tryna show love but people take the bad and provoke If I give this bum a dollar will he eat it or smoke it? Put speculations to the side and just go out on a limb I'm visualizing myself one day being just like him So I focus on my paper, got a mission to rise And try to see life through the eyes of the poor and despised 'Cause they're my people man, I never turn my back on 'em To my young hustlers walking these cuts with crack on 'em It's another way, I hope you're feeling your brother I know that cash be coming fast, but dog we killin each other Making bad move, trusting fools, caught up in crosses And you ain't different from the rest player, we all done took losses Better shake it off 'cause a real man would accept Responsibility and play it with the hand he was dealt See my shrink done even ran out of questions to ask Plus I'm holding family animosity from the past [Hook: Kim Broussard & K-Rino] When everything around you is going wrong (We doin' bad up in this hood but I'm still hanging) And hard times seems to last too long (Time to stop all that singing and start swinging) Your old school homeboys dead and gone (Got my partners on the cut, man they still slanging) The game don't change keep pushing on (real out here, uh) [Verse 3: K-Rino] My paper playing out, really ain't too much in my stack In a Lacc, clutching a gat, my stomach touching my back The world is testing me, but at the same time my girl's stressing me My actions be the reason why the Man ain't blessing me Should I chase mine with skill or a gun on my waist line? And face time, these questions go deep as a bass line I'ma take it the whole nine or catch a case trying Confess my sins hoping that God will erase mine Gotta raise ya game level when the trouble appears I got partners I been hanging with for 15 years Yeah, I'm strong but I'm worn out and tired in the mind 'Cause water drippin on a rock can wear it down over time Ya feel me? I ain't a baller, I'm a child of the ditch Being broke is a test, but money is a trial for the rich And to the ones that past on, G's we lost in the game Y'all come to life every time somebody mention ya name [Hook: Kim Broussard & K-Rino] When everything around you is going wrong (We doin' bad up in this hood but I'm still hanging) And hard times seems to last too long (Time to stop all that singing and start swinging) Your old school homeboys dead and gone (Got my partners on the cut, man they still slanging) The game don't change keep pushing on (real out here, uh) [Break: K-Rino] Throw 'em up for ya partner that done past away Throw 'em up for that baby that was born today Throw 'em up if ya hustling and making ya pay Throw 'em up if ya feeling every word I say It's like that [Outro: K-Rino]
