0:08When I was your age I wanna be a ball player
0:10I'm wishing about being a ball player about being a
0:12Race car driver or astronaut
0:14You ain't you ain't afraid to die
0:16I respect that man I respect that
0:18But what about I have to live for mike
0:20Man there ain't nothing to live for
0:22Uh uh uh
0:23Being by where I live and it's making me sick
0:26Brothers got me getting from going to school but I can't quit
0:28'Cause if I do if you do I'll be through you'll be through
0:31But tough rhymes will beat me till I'm black and blue ooh
0:34So what I do is take it day by day
0:36Get in school and get a lecture with my pants in the wrong way
0:39Then they try to ban them after wearing braids
0:41Oh yeah even though I was keeping up my grades
0:44But yo it didn't matter why 'cause just cause I'm with it
0:47They kept called the posse tryna get me to quit it
0:49I've got some friends that be treating me mean
0:52Jealous 'cause they've seen us on the TV screen
0:55They wanna beat us down 'cause we ain't around anymore
0:57They wanna beat us down 'cause we ain't around anymore
1:00But they got's to understand I'm still down with my crew
1:03I just got some business to attend to
1:05But never will we ever go shady shady
1:07And turned my back on my hood 'cuz my hood is what raised me
1:10Uh what's funny is I ain't grown up
1:12Hope we did something to keep some of the young
1:14Up here from being torn up
1:16But now I'm considered as a role model role model
1:18So it ain't something older like it turning up an old gold bottle
1:21I prayed and prayed and everything is good
1:23'Cuz it's rough and tough growing up is lil' boys in da hood
1:26If we wasn't till we missed we be out the back door
1:28But I was told like I'm telling you've got something 2 live 4
1:33Break 'em off some
