Lyrics

[Intro] I'm sayin' my mama down for me, ya heard me That's the only lady I can trust My mama looked me in the eyes and said "Baby, you stay in these streets, you gonna die, straight up" I used to tote a ball but now I tote a tool She said she pray that she don't see me on the news She don't think that I love my life, but Ma, I do And since a jit, I used to always act a fool [Hook] She asked me why I act so hood, I say why? Said I'ma leave the streets alone, but I lied Why you poppin' percocets, it's a vibe Gotta do away with the stress, so I'm high She laid her head on my shoulder and she cried She told me leave the streets alone or I'ma die I know she meant it, I could see it in her eyes That if they kill me, it's gon' be a homicide, woah (ahh, ahh) She laid her head on my shoulder and she cried She told me leave the streets alone or I'ma die, woah (ahh, ahh) I know she meant it, I could see it in her eyes That if they kill me, it's gon' be a homicide, woah [Verse] I told my mom I'm in the booth, ain't in them streets no more No more phone calls that's gon' wake you out ya sleep no more Ya baby da Professor, I ain't out here in no beef no more Now I dropped the shit that all these people they be fiendin' for She told me, long as she 'round, she gon' ride I told my mama wipe them tears from her eyes She always prayin' for her baby, I'ma slide Ain't nothin' changed 'cause since a child, I been wild, woah Rather be judged by twelve than carried by six Stick with my rhymes and stay on my shit Stay on my grind and stay out the mix I want them diamonds all on my wrist Say if I stay up out this shit then I'm gon' blow And Ma I try, but in this city, I don't know [Hook] She asked me why I act so hood, I say why? Said I'ma leave the streets alone, but I lied Why you poppin' percocets, it's a vibe Gotta do away with the stress, so I'm high She laid her head on my shoulder and she cried She told me leave the streets alone or I'ma die I know she meant it, I could see it in her eyes That if they kill me, it's gon' be a homicide, woah (ahh, ahh) She laid her head on my shoulder and she cried She told me leave the streets alone or I'ma die, woah (ahh, ahh) I know she meant it, I could see it in her eyes That if they kill me, it's gon' be a homicide, woah
