Kutt The Check - The Nation lyrics

[Hook: Victoria Monet] Baby, don't you know Everything you do away from home Could leave me here alone So baby don't you go, no No, no No-o-o-oo No, no No-o-o-oo [Verse 1: B.o.B.] I saw a kid 12 years old, with a pack of cigarettes and a Glock Cause in this ‘partments it was easy to cop Looking for a n***a slipping, yeah they easy to spot In the streets the enemies are just as evil as cops The only word he ever heard from his pops was If this the devil's world then who hangs out at the top He had c**aine dreams, and Scarface nightmares I thought to myself, does anyone in this life care Growing too fast like his days are lightyears His mama says go to church, you need a light prayer You think the streets need you? Well I need you right here You need to slow it down, cause the streets don't fight fair For real! [Hook: Victoria Monet] Baby, don't you know Everything you do away from home Could leave me here alone So baby don't you go, no No, no No-o-o-oo No, no No-o-o-oo [Verse 2: Jake Lambo] It's easy to get in trouble in the place where I'm from n***as lacking the education but be packing a gun I just kick it with the homies and be having some fun Mama keep calling, I understand you protecting your son You found that I be smoking and I know it makes you mad And I know you see his trace, scared Imma be just like my dad Scared I'm doing something bad, scared I might end up dead Well look I chose another path so get those worries out your head Imma keep on doing it how I'm doing it Stay working hard, making this music and Show you I got to get it, I do They asking my motivation and I reply that it's you mama [Hook: Victoria Monet] Baby, don't you know Everything you do away from home Could leave me here alone So baby don't you go, no No, no No-o-o-oo No, no No-o-o-oo [Verse 3: B.o.B.] A deadly trend that never ends City full of negligence, pregnant pedestrians I used to think am I a prisoner or a resident They book us for possession but they keep shipping weapons in Either the Glock shoots you or a cop do you They set the system up to lock you up a lot sooner Everything you try to do they try to out do you My mama said hallelujah cause I got a future I got a future after something newer They try to sell you bullsh** because it sounds cooler And if you stand out from the crowd they label you a loser Don't throw your life away, don't let your eyes fool you That's how they use you [Hook: Victoria Monet] Baby, don't you know Everything you do away from home Could leave me here alone So baby don't you go, no No, no No-o-o-oo No, no No-o-o-oo
