[Intro: Tomorrow Genius]
This how it is by the corner store
Gotta get it how you live by the corner store
In the field, By the corner store
Keep you still, Niggas kill by the corner store
It get real by the corner store
Niggas tryna make a meal by the corner store
Keep your kids from the corner store
Because these niggas round here run the corner store
[Verse 1: Tomorrow Genius]

Wally's Food posted by the store
It's living in the lows
At that store, I learned everything I know
How to hit my first stain
And how to never tell them folks
Never be seen as a hoe, and laugh but never tell a joke
Click, Bang to maintain to gain you claim is how you go
Posted on the green machine across the streets
Like if the Opps ride past
Who'd be the first one to reach
Man, half these niggas on the block ain't have a pops to preach
Man, half these niggas on the block ain't have a cot to sleep
Either way these niggas on the block
Seven days a week
Everybody wasn't slanging just to party down the street
Everybody ain't bang, but we all been down since eves
Everybody ain't hang, we had plenty enemies
Now they can't speak
Posted by the store deep like we eight feet
If he ain't got it then I got it, let's get something to eat
[Hook: Tomorrow Genius]
This how it is by the corner store
Gotta get it how you live by the corner store
In the field, By the corner store
Keep you still, Niggas kill by the corner store
It get real by the corner store
Niggas tryna make a meal by the corner store
Keep your kids from the corner store
Because these niggas round here run the corner store

The total comes to 10
A couple dollars short
They got me
The homeless nigga sitting on the curb
He always watch me
Holler for a couple dollars that he tryna get up off me
Look
Reach in my pocket and I throw 'em what I got
Cause I know I'm coming home to a meal
And he probably not
He got holes in his clothes, I know he live on the block
Either hustling for some food or he hustling for a rock
Man, Struggling
It done' started all the unity
Corner store, this is the heart of the community
Everybody rap, but I know all them niggas lose to me
We moved to White Bear now all of this shit is new to me
Man
Motherfuckers don't know the struggle
Better off on your own, Your friends'll get you in trouble
Some niggas like to flex and say they'll leave you in the rubble
But, these niggas don't bark or bite
They're like a muzzle
Yeah
[Outro: Lexii Alijai]
This how it is by the corner store
Better mind your fuckin' bizz at the corner store
Bunch of ratchet ass kids at the corner store
Couple homeless niggas live at the corner store
Niggas tryna spit game at the corner store
Shake ya hand and ask your name at the corner store
These niggas lame at the corner store
They just tryna find fame at the corner store
Yeah
