Cordae - Momma’s Hood lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, uh, yeah Yeah, uh [Chorus] I was riding through my momma's hood, rollin' in Jeep I ain't playin' with you ni**as, boy, I'm playin' for keeps fu*k you pussy ass ni**as tryna prey on the weak I ain't talkin' too much, I only say what I mean I bring the whole city out every time that I'm home How you all about business but don't be mindin' your own? (Yeah) Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna atone, huh I let that be well known, yeah [Verse 1] Daydreamin' while I'm schemin' on a text Steady plottin' as I'm thinkin' on the next (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Confident although I find myself compressed Overthinking, worrying, I must confess (Yeah, yeah, yеah, yeah) Even though sometimеs I wish I was exaggerating And all my problems were just figments of imagination The smartest ni**a who had dropped out, fu*k your graduation I think that sh*t a fu*kin' scam, somebody had to say it Caught up in a matrix, sh*t I had to find a way out Lost too many ni**as, swear this sh*t is gettin' played out Student loan forgiveness, all my debt was finally paid out Appreciate this sh*t because the gutter I come straight out The bottoms of bottoms, to the top of the tops And that power washing van that I just bought for my pops I talk to him every now and then, more often than not We upgraded next time that I drop, but for now [Chorus] I was riding through my momma's hood, rollin' in Jeep I ain't playin' with you ni**as, boy, I'm playin' for keeps fu*k these pussy ass ni**as tryna prey on the weak I ain't talkin' too much, I only say what I mean I bring the whole city out every time that I'm home How you all about business but don't be mindin' your own? Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna atone, huh I let that be well known, yeah [Verse 2] I heard the cage bird sing and it's a beautiful sound And it'd be so much fu*kin' better, dog, if you was around Why they had to kill my ni**a over a few little pounds? When I got robbed in high school you even flew to the town Couldn't really live with him, now I'm livin' without him And you was just here with us listenin' to the new album Told me that it was a classic, better than my last sh*t We used to have hoop dreams and skip all our classes And now my ni**a dead and gone, shed these tears up in this song Shoulda got 'em out, I right my wrong, real ni**as sh*t what I condone Every ni**a got his flaws, accounts that's filled with withdrawals I paint pictures that's vivid because my feeling so raw This sh*t I'm dealing with, uh, is no mistake That I was put in this position just to open gates The ni**as with the least to offer the most to say The funeral was too much, I couldn't show my face, instead [Chorus] I was riding through my momma's hood, rollin' in Jeep I ain't playin' with you ni**as, boy, I'm playin' for keeps fu*k these pussy ass ni**as tryna prey on the weak I ain't talkin' too much, I only say what I mean I bring the whole city out every time that I'm home How you all about business but don't be mindin' your own? Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna atone, huh I let that be well known, yeah [Outro] (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) This song is dedicated to my dog Juwan Walls They called him Pit Who got killed last summer in a shootout And um, we used to be on the basketball team together, man, me and him We always used to hoop together And um, bro was the first one gettin' money amongst us all, like He was like fifteen, sixteen years old And he-he always kept a bankroll on him, and uh I just miss my dog, man
