Money talk, only broke people listen Ain't gotta pot to piss in can't afford to pay attention These unfamiliar n***as be expecting recognition Respect the intellect let me continue on the mission I used to walk through alleys, paths in the field You know that one house where Kenneth use to live Now its just another shortcut to the store The TV in the window drew the line of what was rich and poor Mommy gave me food stamps told me buy wonder bread On the way these n***as jumped me, left me wit knots on my head Went to school yesterday and to had leave early 'Cause n***as said they was gon' jump me at 3:30 All because I lived in the hood who they had beef with And I ain't tell em, dog, I kept that sh** a secret But I can't really trip, n***as looked out for me Them same n***as played me ain't around to tell the story I'm just young n***a on the D.O.T. With my headphones on and sack full of weed Rhymes in my head thought nobody wanted to hear em So I had the fiends hitting rocks like the Pilgrims And where I lived, it was house, field, field Field, field house, abandoned house, field, field And where I lived, it was house, field, field Field, field house, abandoned house, field, field That n***a much sicker That's why he pop them pills, sip lean, smoke swishers Yea I'm doing d** thought I never ever try That had my eyes so dry, dog I wish I could cry I'm f**ing bad foreign b**hes while you in the hood Smoking on some dirt weed smelling like some fire wood Sitting on porches of abandoned houses Or sitting in the field on bed bug ridden couches It's like they all forgot man nobody care about us That why we all ways end up in prison instead of college Living in the system working kitchen for chump change Lost in the streets n***as playing that gun game Where nobody wins just a bunch of mamas losing Dead body in the field, nobody heard the shooting We living in the streets where the options is limited 'Cause its burnt building instead of jobs and businesses And where I lived, it was house, field, field Field, field house, abandoned house, field, field And where I lived, it was house, field, field Field, field house, abandoned house, field, field
