I see the worse at a worse
Somehow, some way
Livin' it like a savage, 'cause nigga I gotta have it
For the rest of their life fuckin' wings, fried vegetable rice
Some way we gotta make it up out this life
I gotta make it up out this life, come on
In their beds all bunched an tight
I'm gettin scared ya'll I feel for them
Sittin' watch the passers-by play my sweep
We gotta make it up out the hood someday
Our kids eatin' lunch at night
Somehow, some way
Som how, some way
Somehow, some way
That can't leave and how the chinks gotta feed 'em
Love bein' willied and you're creek gonna rise
Im'ma be a nigga and these streets gonna rise
Gotta be kiddin', no breakfast Cap'n Crunch at night
Yeah, I know, gotta grip the shorties on the block
And these streets gonna rise out
Somehow, some way
We gotta make it up out this life, come on
Right Cher's another lil' story bout' this clique I claimed
Wish I could take us all
Look man a tree grows in Brooklyn
Then they wonder why we like green up
Neighbors plottin' to get ya
Newest glock, and old jordies
Som how, some way
Somehow, some way
Agents snappin' you're picture
Over here we got this cold salad get that there
And all the mothers and their kids
We know tomorrow ain't a promise so get that there
We goin' make it up out this life, yeah and
We goin' make it up out the sewa one day
Im'ma be a nigga
Some how we gotta get up out this mothafucka
We goin' make it up out the hood one day
Somehow, some way
I deserve every blessin', I received I'm from the dirt
(Somehow, some way)
And touch my soul, take hold of my hand
Whether we dribble out this mothafucka
Fucksittin' in the livin' room, guardin' the steps
Too old Nell, Sigel street I ain't forget chu
Niggas fightin' over colder young boys light things up
South Vegas, South Paul niggas all got guns
Servin' these niggas flippers
I gotta make it up out the hood someday
We gotta make it up out this life
Girls fightin' over rollie young hype things up
I don't always wanna be this drug dealin' mafucka, damn
In the L or the repha that steamer that steam up is my head
South Side, Sunny Side, blocks I run
We gotta make it up out the hood, someday
Somehow, some way
Workin' inside a slump house starvin' to death
Some way
No less than 3 or 4
And still I grew, some how I knew dat the sun'll shine through
We goin' make it up out this life
Myrtle Park Marcy, Flushing and Nostrand
Rap metaphors, and riddle out this mothafucka
We gotta make it up out the hood, someday
Somehow, some way
Somehow, some way
Another chapter based on how I get that game
All they do is smoke weed and drink 40's
Hangin' round my neighborhood and bang my street
Someday the cops kill a mafucka
Back to back steam up, tryin' to relax but I can't lean up
Erase enough to walk it down and fuckit all dog
Some way
20 niggas on the block tryin' chase that buck
Nusey neighbors and the haters keep their face on stuck
Situation is critic, I was out here to get it
Some way
Cops roll up on the pavement breaks the dice games up
We gotta make it up out this life, come on
Holdin' back on the mothers for a minute, pumpin' hard dog
Behind smoke kids can't chase the ice cream truck
I used to play the hall up 5th floor
All the petty ass wars fuck the night scene up
I gotta make it up the hood someday
Quarter ounces in zippers
I planted my seed on unfertile land
Somehow, some way
Know how go 2 by the foot 2 by the headboard, man
We gotta make it up out the hood, someday
On this magic carpet ride through the sky
Cop their lower quarties nough to get the latest ROC
Stress to the point I get a fever, think about the block
Me and my boys we all poor gettin' high
Work 2nd floors, hospital out this mafucka
Remember Lil' Eddie Draw man I ain't like mean up
