I remember them lonely nights i was tryna get paid
Or them darker days when tears ran down mamas face
Tryna move us out the slums and into a better place
But I still hear them streets call nigga's name
Drip too hard but my niggas need water
Whole lotta sons but they know they fathers
Grow up with a tech but this shit jus aint a game
Still hear them streets call nigga's name
See I remember them nights
Young nigga had nothing
All my life had to fight
Lord knows my time was coming
Yeah I know wrong from right
Right now my mamas struggling
Im just tryna do right
Im just tryna do right
See i got too much too lose
Sorry mama but this ain't the life I chose
Tired of seeing all my niggas on the news
I'm up early for that bag no hitting snooze
Im not gonna lose yeah
My heart turned to blues yeah
You do what you do yeah
I stand on my twos ain't got nothing else to prove yeah
It's kinda crazy how these niggas acting shady
These bitches just want my baby
I'm just tryna find a lady that's gonna do me right
I be up all night
Had to grab the pipe
I was so lost in the dark, but now I see the light
No my life ain't right
Just remember when them ops pull up its on sight
I remember them lonely nights i was tryna get paid
Or them darker days when tears ran down mamas face
Tryna move us out the slums and into a better place
But I still hear them streets call nigga's name
Drip too hard but my niggas need water
Whole lotta sons but they know they fathers
Grow up with a tech but this shit jus aint a game
Still hear them streets call nigga's name
Now they be callin my name but it aint my government
Niggas aint loyal you gotta watch who you be fuckin' with
It be cold in the streets even on the summer days
Niggas be snitchin' on niggas just to try and beat a case
And thats on sight
Nah nigga we aint gon' fight
Ima just empty a clip in your left eye
What you think gon' happen when you run your mouth
It's loyalty over love, not the other way around
I'm just cookin in the kitchen, tryna take care of my family
I know I ain't perfect but I hope my mama is proud of me
It's been too long seemin like forever
But this the shit that made me so ima remember
I remember them lonely nights i was tryna get paid
Or them darker days when tears ran down mamas face
Tryna move us out the slums and into a better place
But I still hear them streets call nigga's name
Drip too hard but my niggas need water
Whole lotta sons but they know they fathers
Grow up with a tech but this shit jus aint a game
Still hear them streets call nigga's name
I remember them lonely nights i was tryna get paid
Or them darker days when tears ran down mamas face
Tryna move us out the slums and into a better place
But I still hear them streets call nigga's name
Drip too hard but my niggas need water
Whole lotta sons but they know they fathers
Grow up with a tech but this shit jus aint a game
Still hear them streets call nigga's name
