90s Baby

[Intro]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah (King of the Court, get in there)
Why they say we gone? Ain't nobody goin' nowhere (Yeah)
You was next in line, shoulda just stayed over there
Ooh (Shoulda stayed over there), yeah

[Chorus]
I just want this pain to go away (I don't want this pain)
Feel it in my soul, I hope it just fade away (Oh, I hope it just fade)
See, a lot of my bros dropped out around ninth grade (All around ninth grade)
I was sittin' in school, and it was so hard when it was sirens (Whatchu did?)
Had a moment of silence, 'cause I don't wanna lose no more
I need my boy right beside me (My boy)
And if he go down that road, it ain't no time for rewinding (Time)
He ain't really out of control, we was just born in the '90s, '90s baby

[Verse 1]
It's a lot of folk proud of me down South (A lot of folk proud)
Mama cried out loud, "Throw out them drugs" (Mama cried out loud)
Lookin' for the vibe 'cause I couldn't find it in my house (In my house)
And I used to walk late to the bus, I tried to miss my route, aw, yeah (What you doin'?)
Interrupting my class, teacher kept tellin' me, "Beg your pardon" (Interrupting my class)
And I ran from security all day like they wasn't even guarding (I'd run so fast)
Even though I've been trying to look for a place I can put my heart in (I can)
I was out there scamming, looking for a place I can put my card in (Yeah)
We done came a long way, devil took my soul (Devil took my soul)
But I still ain't fold (I still ain't fold)
Had to stand on my toes (Yeah)
Keep the family close

[Chorus]
I just want this pain to go away (I don't want this pain)
Feel it in my soul, I hope it just fade away (Oh, I hope it just fade)
See, a lot of my bros dropped out around ninth grade (All around ninth grade)
I was sittin' in school, and it was so hard when it was sirens (Whatchu did?)
Had a moment of silence, 'cause I don't wanna lose no more
I need my boy right beside me (My boy)
And if he go down that road, it ain't no time for rewinding (Time)
He ain't really out of control, we was just born in the '90s, '90s baby (And I know they gon' feel this for real, too)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, sneakin' out the house to get on both sides of the moon (Both sides of the moon)
Then I ran back home, we had the whole neighborhood in fumes (Neighborhood in fumes)
And I remember trying to turn the channel from Cinemax to cartoons (Cinemax to cartoons)
When mom duke came in the room, hated when she walked in
She started yelling, "Do you know what time it is?"
And I heard her say, "Twelve came when you was gone, you know whose crime it is?"
I ain't finna say, "We the ones they want," even know we prolly is
Ooh, 'cause I know she down to put me out, no matter what the climate is, yeah (My mama wasn't finna play with me, boy)
Did a lot of dirt, it left on your Jordans, yeah, this is my city
Know a lot of rappers come from out of town and say they stay down, but not really (It's cap)
And I'm hoping all dawgs go to Heaven, lost plenty of mine before twenty
Every day I think about the ones that were gone too soon, '90s baby

[Chorus]
I just want this pain to go away (I don't want this pain)
Feel it in my soul, I hope it just fade away (Oh, I hope it just fade)
See, a lot of my bros dropped out around ninth grade (All around ninth grade)
I was sittin' in school, and it was so hard when it was sirens (Whatchu did?)
Had a moment of silence, 'cause I don't wanna lose no more
I need my boy right beside me (My boy)
And if he go down that road, it ain't no time for rewinding (Time)
He ain't really out of control, we was just born in the '90s, '90s baby, yeah

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
You was next in line, you shoulda just stayed over there, oh-oh
