Lyrics

The poor can't leave the poor And the black can't leave the black If you my nigga, you my nigga If you a real nigga, you my kind If you went and did that crime Could you really do that time? Could you really keep it quiet? Could you really hold it down? The poor can't leave the poor And the black can't leave the black If you my nigga, you my nigga If you a real nigga, you my kind If you went and did that crime Could you really do that time? Could you really keep it quiet? Could you really hold it down? Could you really not tell nobody? Is you really, really 'bout it? If them people had your family hostage Could you really keep beside it? Could you really do that crime? Could you really do that time? Could you really hold it down? Could you really keep it quiet? All I wanted was a chance I'm just tryna feed my fam I don't wanna be nobody else I just wanna be who I am Niggas ain't the same no more Bitches changing like they change clothes Game ain't the same no more These niggas selling they soul No go, it's a no go, no go go I can't sell my soul, no no So I might not never blow And they know I already know The devil want my soul The devil want my soul But I can't go The poor can't leave the poor And the black can't leave the black If you my nigga, you my nigga If you a real nigga, you my kind If you went and did that crime Could you really do that time? Could you really keep it quiet? Could you really hold it down? The poor can't leave the poor And the black can't leave the black If you my nigga, you my nigga If you a real nigga, you my kind If you went and did that crime Could you really do that time? Could you really keep it quiet? Could you really hold it down? Could you really not tell nobody? Is you really, really 'bout it? If them people had your family hostage Could you really keep beside it? Could you really do that crime? Could you really do that time? Could you really hold it down? Could you really keep it quiet? These niggas rat on they friends These niggas rat on they self These niggas, they'll rat they mama out Just to get out of jail to go do something else They gave my nigga life sentence But Lord, I know you with me Lord, I know you with me Thank the Lord every day I'm living I done so many sins I could've lost my life Feel like I lost all my niggas If I could run back the time If I could only push rewind, yeah The poor can't leave the poor And the black can't leave the black If you my nigga, you my nigga If you a real nigga, you my kind If you went and did that crime Could you really do that time? Could you really keep it quiet? Could you really hold it down? The poor can't leave the poor And the black can't leave the black If you my nigga, you my nigga If you a real nigga, you my kind If you went and did that crime Could you really do that time? Could you really keep it quiet? Could you really hold it down? Could you really not tell nobody? Is you really, really 'bout it? If them people had your family hostage Could you really keep beside it? Could you really do that crime? Could you really do that time? Could you really hold it down? Could you really keep it quiet?
