Mama told me come inside
Baby watch your back when come thru the door
It ain't safe outside
But we love the hood so we always out the door
Every time the phone ring that's a man down
Never hear them shells drop when they let em off
Better stay down low when you hear them sounds
You come around here
They ain't playing around
I'm from the Southside baby but you know
I lived on Northside stayed up in the lows
They let his body freeze up in the cold
I had to stay down get it through the snow
I heard man down
The streets calling gotta hear it through the phone
I heard man down
Facebook posting gotta check up on your folks
I done seen blood freeze up in the cold
Emergency room full of them folks
You hear them sound better check up on yo folks
In my environment I gotta keep a pole
Checking pulses
Ambulance checking pulses
Police checking pulses
Yellow tape they was ducking
Caution
They was beefing in the summer
Came around the cold
Thought he smooth but they came and took his soul
I had dreams bout my nigga
Right before I tell em
I just heard up on the phone that he gone
I pray for them everyday when I wake up
Had bags under eye trynna stay up
At the funeral I couldn't see his face
Seen his moma eyes tearing that would break yah
I heard man down
The streets calling gotta hear it through the phone
I heard man down
Facebook posting gotta check up on your folks
I done seen blood freeze up in the cold
Emergency room full of them folks
You hear them sound better check up on yo folks
In my environment I gotta keep a pole oh
