Out The Hood

(But Katrina then washed away all the photos)
(All the condos)
(All the coco)

It's hard in the Big Easy, ain't shit easy
I use to watch my uncle hide that money in the deep freezer
He use to give me game, he always so in his 2 seater
His favorite quote, one life to live, he kept him 2 heaters

He said he not in no beef, but he kept a piece
Got a baby at the crib who need to eat
Got a lady at the crib, see that's his queen
Got a brother but that nigga in the bing

When he was free they had the dope game in a choke hold
But Katrina then washed away all the photos
All the condos
All the coco
All the bandos
All the polos
I guess it's time for plan B, pass the swisher sweet
You either have a sweet pull up or a mean sixteen
It's a dog eat dog world, it's either him or me
It's a dog eat dog world, dog I got to eat

I pray we all make it out the hood my nigga
They say the good die young up in the hood my nigga
I pray we all make it out the hood my nigga
They say the good die young up in the

Look, I made this verse the morning of my mother's date of birth
Recorded instead of celebrating the woman that gave me birth
But she knows this music comes first, that's just the way I work
Had every obstacle against me, but I made it work
In the basement, plate and razor, digi scale, I'm weighing work
I sold my neighbors work
I sold Tom an eighth for a hundred on his way to work
Know a nigga who killed his cousin for snitchin, he saw the paperwork
Still hugging on his mama when she prayed in church (real shit)
My other little homie died, took a bad pill, fentanyl laced his perc (damn)
Ricky Hyde asked me how I maintain my thirst
Told him just do the math Rick just like he played with dirt
We both come from nothin, straight from the bottom (listen)
Now I'm in this position, just tell me get em,' I got em (I got these niggas)
Cuz I'm ain't trying to go back to where we came from (talk to em)
Won't stop until my city on top of the game, uh

(Yeah, Machine bitch)

I pray we all make it out the hood my nigga
They say the good die young up in the hood my nigga
I pray we all make it out the hood my nigga
They say the good die young up in the hood my nigga
