In My City

[Intro]
(Tre made the motherfucking beat-beat-beat go, nigga)

[Chorus]
Cuz in my city ain't no love its lotta violence
More niggas turn to shooters than niggas turn into scholars
I never went to college like mama papa wanted
I promise
That I'ma make it out that's all I wanted
She said she really want me to change
But ain't shit change
But some new chains
I want a new home
You can keep the new Js
Trippin off some old shit
But still bringing new pain

[Verse 1]
Hurt us at the score so we gotta double back
Couple niggas gone they ain't ever coming back
Seen them in the casket
Now his child is a bastard
I'm dying for my family give a fuck about this rap shit
Got young niggas that'll take you out the game
But if my niggas get a call then I swear I do the same
City tryna bring the peace
Give a fuck bout what they saying
But I ain't stopping till all these bitch ass niggas all feel my pain
Ayy
They say put Stockton on the map
But I do this for my side and everybody on my back
Cuz everything I'm giving out ain't nobody giving back
So give a fuck about this rap I'm tryna put me on the map
Niggas hating on me like I never put em on
I do this shit for me not to put the city on
Cuz ain't nobody gave me shit I had to get it on my own
But now I made myself a way so everybody getting on
Gang

[Chorus]
Cuz in my city ain't no love its lotta violence
More niggas turn to shooters than niggas turn into scholars
I never went to college like mama papa wanted
I promise
That I'ma make it out that's all I wanted
She said she really want me to change
But ain't shit change
But some new chains
I want a new home
You can keep the new Js
Trippin off some old shit
But still bringing new pain
Ayy

Cuz in my city ain't no love its lotta violence
More niggas turn to shooters than niggas turn into scholars
I never went to college like mama papa wanted
I promise
That I'ma make it out that's all I wanted
She said she really want me to change
But ain't shit change
But some new chains
I want a new home
You can keep the new Js
Trippin off some old shit
But still bringing new pain

[Verse 2]
I know this shit get hard (ayy)
Gotta keep your head high
All the suckers in the way
Gotta let the lead fly
Late nights on the block you can catch us outside
Trippin off em niggas bitch I slide bout mines
Hella miss calls shawty know I keep that pole
Don't you worry bout a thang shawty I'ma make it home
Prayin for my niggas in them cages that ain't home
Only time will tell when my niggas coming home
Another day go by
Where I'm sitting reminiscing
Looking at my pictures like damn we could've did this
Looking at your daughter and knowing her father missing
No time to shed a tear
This the life that we live in
Ayy
Another day go by where I'm sitting reminiscing
Looking at my pictures like damn we could've did this
Looking at your daughter and knowing her father missing
But no time to shed a tear
This the life that we live in

[Chorus]
Cuz in my city ain't no love its lotta violence
More niggas turn to shooters than niggas turn into scholars
I never went to college like mama papa wanted
I promise
That I'ma make it out that's all I wanted
She said she really want me to change
But ain't shit change
But some new chains
I want a new home
You can keep the new Js
Trippin off some old shit
But still bringing new pain

Cuz in my city ain't no love its lotta violence (violence)
More niggas turn to shooters than niggas turn into scholars (scholars)
I never went to college like mama papa wanted (wanted)

More shooters than there scholars (ayy)
Never went to college
