Uptown Xo - Soul Value lyrics

[Intro] Yo, turn the light up a little Hey, XO baby! For the n***as going through the struggle worldwide [Verse 1:] It's bigger than your block, boy, it don't stop, boy I wouldn't tell you wrong, I wouldn't lie, boy We in a big world, we living in a box Had us hustling even when we was paranoid Smarter than we look, dark so they think we crooks But couldn't come outside without bad looks k**ing friends and neighbors, no food in the fridgerator Like, I don't know why they hating, they ain't gon' pay us But they payed the preacher, they mothers when they see us "Lady, I'm just trying to eat, please don't call the polices." Don't you play that lotto, and this is how we gamble Going broke and trying to rea**emble the shambles [Hook:] And you can do anything if you try Don't let 'em tell you no different, keep your head up high And you can do anything if you try Don't let 'em tell you no different, keep your head up high [Verse 2:] It's bigger than your hood, homie I know you could, homie You can do anything, but gotta be good, homie That's what my soul told me, as I was laying OZ's Like James's I had them navy Sauconys Can't stop, can't lie, God, he gave me a lot They blot, they rock, [?] on a fly Take what I've got, yeah I won't take you to live Tried to dumb us down, that's why we ain't changing our minds Ain't no looking back, ain't nothing but tunnel vision Got off track cause of crack, we was f**ing with it Money doubling in the jungle, and they couldn't tame us Wanted to be like us but couldn't, so "n***as" they named us [Hook]
