Lyrics

[00:00.000] "Downtown"(feat. Kidd Kidd)
[00:31.650] Word got around that a ***** got shot
[00:35.210] Heard a ***** drew down' and he bucked so his ass got popped
[00:39.590] We was on my block trying to move these rocks
[00:43.200] Trying to stack this cash on the low, gotta duck these cops
[00:47.170] We was right off third and polock chilling in the back of the tracks
[00:50.750] *****s got packs, trying to get them racks
[00:53.260] X5 I was riding in the back with the brother's' round kicking in the gat in my lap
[00:57.670] 17 had no dreams, drinking four loco's, Sprite and codeine
[01:01.770] First class I was on lean, said ***** high-school, so I left Reed.
[01:05.830] No one told me life would be this way!
[01:11.370] I swear nobody told me
[01:14.090] Guess this is the game we chose to play
[01:19.440] Crazy how it's always been the same!
[01:22.250] People dying every day, that ain't nothing new
[01:25.620] When you from downtown, downtown!
[01:30.500] Out here tryna make a way
[01:32.610] I won't let these *****s take me down-down, down!(So I ride)
[01:38.680] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[01:42.980] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em(So I ride)
[01:47.720] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[01:51.080] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[01:55.410] Phone just rang heard a ***** got got
[01:57.680] He was over in the East last thing that he heard six shots
[02:02.320] He ain't gettin' no love from the cops, nobody got caught
[02:06.390] Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped
[02:10.320] Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back
[02:14.050] Let 'em know 'cause a ***** gotta feel that!
[02:15.960] Sitting shotgun with the shot gun
[02:17.610] When you hear the shots come, ***** don't run!
[02:19.830] Already bad, it can only get worse
[02:21.720] Hand full of steel 'cause the *****t still hurts
[02:24.360] Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse
[02:26.380] Never saw 25, had to put him in the dirt.
[02:29.140] No one told me life would be this way!
[02:34.310] I swear nobody told me
[02:37.310] Guess this is the game we chose to play
[02:42.510] Crazy how it's always been the same!
[02:44.920] People dying every day, that ain't nothing new
[02:49.100] When you from downtown, downtown!
[02:53.170] Out here tryna make a way
[02:55.390] I won't let these *****s take me down-down, down!(So I ride)
[03:01.590] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[03:05.750] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em(So I ride)
[03:10.440] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[03:13.910] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[03:17.830] Once upon a time down town in the nine (9th ward)
[03:19.880] Where they don't mind dying
[03:21.870] Sworn to a life of crime, was a youngin' that only stood 5'5
[03:24.360] Big money on his mind, clothes ain't wrinkled while his hands on his iron.
[03:28.280] hot six times right in front of my mom
[03:30.240] Kind of 32, man, I'm lucky to survive
[03:32.200] On a pac, juice real *****s don't die!
[03:34.280] *****, I'm from Mazant slang crack on the same set
[03:37.230] Blood stains at from a homie with his head cracked
[03:39.260] O'Gs like A' wacks they've been doing this *****t way back since A track.
[03:43.260] And we yell where the gang at
[03:45.100] You can get fame there from the way you're going to bang that
[03:47.250] Shoot for the head watch how you aim that
[03:49.260] Price on your head and we gon' take that
[03:51.260] It's about to go down, you ain't about this then you better go now
[03:55.150] Sun going down, keep it door down!
[03:57.160] Everybody lay down. Ski mask down!
[03:59.390] All you gonna see is my eyes and my frown
[04:01.370] Last thing you hear is my gun going pow
[04:03.310] It happens every day round my way
[04:05.100] This ain't nothing new you grew up downtown.
[04:07.340] People dying every day, that ain't nothing new
[04:11.410] When you from downtown, downtown!
[04:15.790] I'm just trying to make a way,
[04:18.080] I won't let these *****s take me down-down, down!(So I ride)
[04:24.470] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[04:28.320] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em(So I ride)
[04:32.790] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
[04:36.640] Riding on these *****s, I be riding, I be riding on 'em
