On Hood Scars, Nigerian trap/rap artist talks about the struggles in his hood and how almost everybody can’t be trusted. He forgets about brags and focuses more on the struggles of the hood and how much he wants to make his mom and homies proud
[INTERLUDE]
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming , these niggas ain't realing
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming
[Intro]
You know
Back then when we was in the streets and shit, you ain't really had somebody you could call your brother you know
Cause everybody was just out there, errybody was out there tryna get their bread and shit you know, and then you was out there tryna get yours too
[VERSE 1: JAYBO]
Back then you get backstabbed twice in a day
(goddamn)
Cops gon' line, gotta stay up in your place
(goddamn)
Three weeks straight, I ain't had my own place
Gotta keep it cool but the pills stay laced
(goddamn)
These niggas tryna scheme on me(these niggas tryna scheme on me), it got real when my nigga put a beam on me(it got real)
It got bad when a pill made me lean on it
(goddamn)
Got my first chain, couldn't put some cream on it(goddamn)
And that shit was bad(it was bad), and I cannot forget when they shot up my lil nigga Jack
He was out back, when they attacked
And he wasn't strapped, he got shot in the back
That shit made me cry, he made me promise that I would survive, that shit made me strive , that shit made me try(and that shit made me try)
[Chorus]
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming , These niggas ain't realing
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming
[VERSE 2: JAYBO]
Got shot in the back(got shot), look back, it's your lil homie who did it(goddamn)
Them homies are snakes, you thought they was real but they faking bet my nigga you ain't seen it(them niggas snaking)
Countless times I made mama cry, she the vibe
What happened to the apple of her eye?(Mom I'm fine)
Mom I'm fine, just give me time, I made a promise I'll make everything be alright(That's right)
But I was alone, can't go home, I took perkys to stay in my zone(goddamn)
They all want me dead, so these hating ass niggas won't leave me alone(they all want me dead so these hating ass niggas won't leave me alone)
They showing fake love but I prefer the hate
(goddamn)
I took a chance then I crossed the interstate
And I pray niggas in a better place
And everyday I pray for a bigger grace(yeah yeah)
[OUTRO]
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming , These niggas ain't realing
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming , These niggas ain't realing
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming , These niggas ain't realing
And I don't believe it, it feels like I'm dreaming
These niggas be scheming
