As I get just a little older, I notice life is perspective
And my perspective could differ from yours
I wanna say thanks to everybody that’s been down with me
All my followers, all my stunning followers
Anybody who’s ever gave me a pay attention, all my folks
I come from a era of ache, the place homicide is minor
Rebellious and Margielas’ll chip you for designer
Belt buckles and clout, overzealous if liable to violence
Make the fallacious flip, be it should or the wheel alignment
Residue burned, mist of the inner-city
Miscommunication to maintain homo’ detective busy
No safety is dangerous
Desensitized, I vandalized ache
Lined up and camouflaged
Get used to hearin’ arsenal rain
Analyze, danger your life, take the cost
Homies accomplished f—ed your child mama when you hit the yard, that’s tradition
Twenty-three hour lockdown, then any person referred to as
Mentioned your lil’ nephew was shot down, the tradition’s concerned
I accomplished seen n—as do seventeen, hit the midway home
Get out and get his brains blown out, lookin’ to purchase some weed
Automotive wash is performed out, new GoFundMe accounts’ll proceed
A brand-new sufferer’ll shatter these goals, the tradition
(I would like, I would like, I would like, I would like)
However I would like you to need me too (I would like, I would like, I would like, I would like)
I would like the hood to need me again (I would like, I would like, I would like, I would like)
I would like the hood
Look what I accomplished for you (look what I accomplished for you)
Look what I accomplished for you
I mentioned I’d do that for my tradition
To let y’all know what a n—a appear to be in a bulletproof Rover
In my mama’s couch was a doo-doo popper
Hair set off, stroll up nearer, ain’t no Photoshoppin’
Buddies bipolar, seize you by your pockets
No choice in the event you froze up, all the time play the offense
N—as goin’ to work and sellin’ work, late for work
Workin’ late, prayin’ for work, however he on paperwork
That’s the tradition, level the finger, promote ya
Distant location, witness safety, they gon’ maintain ya
The streets obtained me f—ed up, y’all can miss me
I wanna signify for us
New revolution was up and movin’
I’m in Argentina wiping my tears stuffed with confusion
Water in between us, one other peer’s been executed
Historical past repeats once more
Make amends, then discover a n—a with the identical pores and skin to do it
However that’s the tradition, crack a bottle
Laborious to take care of the ache once you’re sober
By tomorrow, we overlook the stays, we begin over
That’s the issue
Our basis was skilled to simply accept no matter follows
Dehumanized, insensitive
Scrutinize the way in which we dwell for you and I
Enemies shook my hand, I can promise I’ll meet you
Within the land the place no equal is your equal
By no means say I ain’t advised ya, nah
Within the land the place damage folks damage extra folks
F— callin’ it tradition
(I would like, I would like, I would like, I would like)
However I would like you to need me too (I would like, I would like, I would like, I would like)
I would like the hood to need me again (I would like, I would like, I would like, I would like)
I would like the hood
Look what I accomplished for you (look what I accomplished for you)
Look what I accomplished for you
Take the drums out
Phew, phew
Phew, phew
Phew
Have a good time new life when it come again round
The aim is within the classes we learnin’ now
Sacrifice private acquire over all the things
Simply to see the following era higher than ours
I wasn’t excellent, the pores and skin I used to be in had actually suffered
Temptation and endurance, all the things that the physique nurtures
I felt the great, I felt the dangerous, and I felt the concern
However all-in-all, my productiveness had stayed pressing
Face your fears, all the time knew that I might make it right here
The place the vitality is magnified and persevered
Consciousness is synchronized and crystal-clear
Euphoria is glorified and made His
Reflectin’ on my life and what I accomplished
Paid dues, made guidelines, change outta love
Them similar views made colleges change curriculums
However didn’t change me starin’ down the barrel of that gun
Ought to I really feel resentful I didn’t see my full potential?
Ought to I really feel remorse concerning the good that I used to be into?
All the things is all the things, this ain’t coincidental
I awakened that mornin’ with extra coronary heart to offer you
As I bleed by way of the audio system, really feel my presence
To my brother, to my youngsters, I’m in Heaven
To my mom, to my sis, I’m in Heaven
To my father, to my spouse, I’m critical, that is Heaven
To my pals, ensure you countin’ them blessings
To my followers, ensure you make them investments
And to the killer that sped up my demise
I forgive you, simply know your soul’s in query
I seen the ache in your pupil when that set off had squeezed
And although you probably did me ugly, I used to be absolutely relieved
I accomplished my mission, wasn’t prepared to depart
However fulfilled my days, my Creator was happy
I can’t stress how I really like y’all
I don’t should be in flesh simply to hug y’all
The reminiscences recollect simply because y’all
Have a good time me with respect
The unity we shield is above all
And Sam, I’ll be watchin’ over you
Be certain that my youngsters watch all my interviews
Be sure you dwell all of the goals we produce
Maintain that genius in your mind on the transfer
And to my neighborhood, let the great prevail
Be certain that them infants and them leaders outta jail
Search for salvation when troubles get actual
‘Trigger you’ll be able to’t assist the world till you assist your self
And I can’t blame the hood the day that I used to be killed
Y’all needed to see it, that’s the one technique to really feel
And although my bodily received’t reap the advantages
The vitality that stick with it emits nonetheless
I would like you
