Lyrics
0:00The Nation - B.o.B (小鲍比·雷·西蒙斯)/Jake Lambo/Victoria Monet
0:11Baby don't you know
0:14Everything you do away from home
0:16Could leave me here alone
0:19So baby don't you go
0:32I saw a kid 12 years old with
0:35A pack of cigarettes and a glock
0:36'Cause in this 'partments it was easy to cop ok
0:39Looking for a ni**a slipping yeah they easy to spot
0:41In the streets the enemies are just as evil as cops
0:45The only word he ever heard from his pops was
0:47If this the devil's world then who hangs out at the top
0:49He had coc*ine dreams and scarface nightmares
0:52I thought to myself does anyone in this life care
0:56Growing too fast like his days are lightyears
0:58His mama says go to church you need a light prayer
1:01You think the streets need you well I need you right here
1:04You need to slow it down 'cause the streets don't fight fair
1:06For real baby don't you know
1:09Everything you do away from home
1:12Could leave me here alone
1:15So baby don't you go
1:17No no no no no no no
1:29It's easy to get in trouble in the place where I'm from
1:31Niggas lacking the education but be packing a gun
1:34I just kick it with the homies and be having some fun
1:37Mama keep calling
1:38I understand you protecting your son
1:40You found that I be smoking and
1:41I know it makes you mad
1:43And I know you see his trace scared
1:44Imma be just like my dad
1:45Scared I'm doing something bad scared
1:47I might end up dead
1:48Well look I chose another path
1:49So get those worries out your head
1:51Imma keep on doing it how I'm doing it
1:55Stay working hard making this music and
1:58Show you I got to get it I do
1:59They asking my motivation and I reply that it's you mama
2:03Baby don't you know
2:05Everything you do away from home
2:08Could leave me here alone
2:10So baby don't you go
2:13No no yeah no yeah no
2:20Yeah no yeah no yeah no
2:25A deadly trend that never ends
2:27City full of negligence pregnant pedestrians
2:29I used to think am I a prisoner or a resident
2:32They book us for possession but
2:34They keep shipping weapons in
2:36Either the glock shoots you or a cop do you
2:38They set the system up to
2:39Lock you up a lot sooner lot sooner
2:41Everything you try to do they try to out do you
2:44My mama said hallelujah 'cause I got a future
2:46I got a future after something newer
2:49They try to sell you b******t because it sounds cooler
2:51And if you stand out from
2:53The crowd they label you a loser loser
2:55Don't throw your life away don't let your eyes fool you
2:57That's how they use you
2:58Baby don't you know
3:01Everything you do away from home
3:04Could leave me here alone
3:06So baby don't you go
3:09No no no no no no no
