Pants sagging, life calling, grades falling
I'm running, probably chasing dead dreams but I know that I feel alive
I tie my shoes. The time is now to say goodbye
Where's Kelly? He's gone. What you mean by he's gone
He packed his stuff and left. He left with his rap-book
He had tears in his right eye like Wayne. Gone

Back in the hood they say that we were never gona make it. What
Back in the hood they say that we were never gon be shit. What
Back in the hood they say that we will never get to the top. What

Got my Nikes laced, time to chase every minuscule money
Can't be still, many can
Many men always talk the talk of a better life but in real life, just a few really grind to the very end
Y'all probably leave if life strikes
Likewise, I might rise, write more bars like Kendrick
I face life; throw jabs like Mike Tyson
Dream close to goal, man it feels like goal kick
Heart still works but they swore they broke it. Hahaha
They thought they broke it
Many came many fell but I still stood tall no italic shit
Truth be told yeah, I fall but a waterfall never be a well, so I vow though I fall
I'm still gona flow until I make it and my sun will shine like I got a male kid. roll

Back in the hood they say that we were never gona make it. What
Back in the hood they say that we were never gon be shit. What
Back in the hood they say that we will never get to the top. What
Back in the hood they said that n***a hol'up, hol'up
My n***a never give it up. Aye aye aye aye
My n***a never give it up. Aye aye
My n***a never give it up. Aye aye aye aye
My n***a never give it up. Up up up up. Uhn
