Death come knocking at my front door, yeah You will be fine I ain't trip, I left it open, work to provide I heard everything you hope for, yeah Promise we're fine I want all that for you plus more, we will get by Life ain't easy, please believe me Ma work too hard for us to live on Dream Street Fly no kite, no , rain don't like those Thunder struck so light don't leave me Lights turned off again, we just arguing Mama wanna move, have us start again I'm with all my friends, played that block again Ain't no Dad around, pops outside again There's some things that I know you turn blind to Dimes in your bag, well there's dimes up in mine too Thoughts to risk it all for the family and survival know you cannot see it but some ways I'm just like you Gotta grow up fast in the hood as a child Went from playing wrestlers to overnight restless Sneaking out the crib and acting out just being reckless Back of the paddy wagon, Jonny got arrested It's a far cry from old Lil' Jon the Baptist Started skipping school cause I ain't really with the message Mama good with weights but isn't really trying to deadlift Told me get your act together, Jonny better dead this And it's hard to hear, but this is what it is tears are in her eyes, and this is what she said So you wanna be a gangster all your life, oh So you tryna catch a body on tonight, oh Jonny, Jonny, yeah you think you bout that life, oh I ain't tryna see you doing life, no And how it feel to be good but never make it out the hood And I barely see you sleep, mama I know that you believe in God but it's hard up in these streets And I'm dying just to eat, mama I ain't everything I wanna be but you struggling for me It's really hard for me to see, mama And when you looking what you see, another coward on the streets Or do you still see me, mama Tell me just what you see, you gotta let me know Please just have faith in me, please don't you let me go Tell me just what you see, you gotta let me know Please just have faith in me, please don't you lose on hope Do what you gotta do, I know it troubles you Me being out at night, I know it's uncomfortable Dreams of us living life, just like the Huxtables Too old for them lullabies, too young to be bulletproof Riding with that thang on me, bang on me, paranoid, mama I can't even trust my main homies And we just some mother loving kids We don't know what we done did but there ain't no other way for me And they don't got no love for us, system always hunting us And the hood just bringing out the brunt in us Hit the corner store to get a Dutch it's for the turbulence Getting hella high cause being sober it just hurt too much Know just what I'm doing, I just gotta make it do for us Eating off the plates that the government assisted us Told me dead or prison so I fit in the description, huh Gamble with my life because they told me not to give a f** So why would I catch you slaving for a check now, why would I Hey mom, I get respect, yeah I'm that n***a And I'm looking at these pockets, yeah these pockets bigger I got some thicker skin and glock it, I'm a hot n***a I'ma get you right, I'ma get you right And I know you pray for days so I'll play the night And the preacher keep on talking how we wicked but Yeah you know your son, you know our plight, he don't know our life I'm bout to be a gangster for the night, oh Bout to catch a body on tonight, oh Jonny, Jonny, yeah you really about that life, oh I might be in a pen doing life, oh How it would feel to be good but never make it out the hood And I barely see you sleep, mama I know that you believe in God but it's hard up in these streets And I'm dying just to eat, mama I ain't everything I wanna be but you struggling for me It's really hard for me to see, mama And when you looking what you see, another coward on the streets, oh Do you still see me, mama Tell me just what you see, you gotta let me know Please just have faith in me, please don't you let me go
