Please believe that somehow, someway
We gotta make it up out the hood someday
Somehow, someway
We gotta make it up out this life, c'mon
Somehow, someway
We gotta make it up out the hood someday
Someway we gotta make it up out this life
Whether we dribble out this motherfucker
Rap metaphors and riddle out this motherfucker
Work second floors, hospital out this motherfucker
Somehow we gotta get up out this motherfucker
Someday the cops will kill a muh'fucker
I don't always wanna be this drug dealin' muh'fucker, damn
Wish I could take us all
On this magic carpet ride through the sky
I used to play the hall and fifth floor
Me and my boys, we're all poor, gettin' high
I seen the worst, been to worst
I deserve every blessin' I received, I'm from the dirt
I planted my seed on unfertile land
Myrtle Park, Marcy, Flushing and Nostrand and
Still I grew, somehow I knew that the sun'll shine through
And touch my soul, take hold of my hand
Look, man, a tree grows in Brooklyn
Somehow, someway
I gotta make it up out the hood someday
Somehow, someway
I gotta make it up out this life, c'mon
Someway I gotta make it up out the hood someday
To Lil' Nell, Sigel Street, I ain't forget you
20 niggas on the block tryna chase that buck
Nosey neighbors and haters keep they face on stuck (uh-huh)
Cops roll up on the pavement, break the dice games up
Mom smoke, kids can't chase the ice cream truck
Girls fightin' over rope, the young boys hype things up
Niggas fightin' over coke, the young boys light things up
All the petty-ass wars fuck the night scene up
'Member Lil' Eddie draw, man, how he light Mean up?
Then they wonder why we light green up
Back to back steam up, try to relax but I can't, I lean up
Ain't the L or the reefer that steam up (that steam up)
It's my head, and I'm stress to the point I get a fever
Thinkin' 'bout the block and all the mothers and the kids
That can't leave and how the Chinks gotta feed 'em
For the rest of they life
Fuckin' wings, fried vegetable rice
Gotta be kidding, no breakfast, Cap'n Crunch at night
How the kids eatin' lunch at night?
And they beds all bunched in tight
No less than three or four, you know how it go
Two by the foot, two by the headboard
Man, I'm gettin' (uh) scared for them (yeah, I know)
That's how I feel for 'em
We gotta grip the shorties on the block
All they do is smoke weed and drink 40s
Cop they lil' their quarties
Enough to get the latest ROC, newest Glock, old Jordies
Somehow, someway
We gon' make it up out this hood one day
Somehow, someway
We gon' make it up out this life, yeah
And somehow, someway
We gon' make it up out the hood one day
Someway we gon' make it up out this life
Right here's another little story 'bout this click I claimed (click I claimed)
Another chapter based on how I get that game (uh)
Hangin' 'round my neighborhood, bang my street
Sit and watch the passerbys play my sweep
Southside, Sunnyside, the blocks I run (uh)
South Acres, South Park, niggas all got guns
Over here we got this code Charlie, get that there
We know tomorrow ain't a promise so we get that now
Fuck sittin' in the livin' room, guardin' the steps
Workin' inside a smoke house, starvin' to death
Serving these niggas flippers, quarter-ounces and jippers
Agents snappin' your picture, neighbors plottin' to get you
Situations a critic, I was out here be gettin' it
Livin' it like a savage 'cause nigga, I gotta have it
They holding back on a motherfucker, I'm in it for the haul dawg
Erase enough and walk it down and fuck it all, y'all
The Lord be a-willin' and the creek don't rise
I'ma be a nigga and these streets gon' rise
(Somehow, someway, somehow, someway)
I'ma be a nigga and this street gon' rise
(Somehow, someway)
Somehow, someway
We gotta make it up out the hood someday
Somehow, someway
We gotta make it up out this life, c'mon
Somehow, someway
We gotta make it up out the hood someday
Someway we gotta make it up out this life
We rise
C'mon now
