[Intro: YG]
I done seen a lot
Ayy
[Verse 1: YungJayR]
My Blessings out to Judy, two of her sons died
So I thank the lord that I see the sun rise
Judy don't cry, the pain is hard to hide
I know it's rough mama, but keep hope alive
Pray for better days, to see them better days
I know the world is ugly, like FlavorFlav
But I've seen better, so it'll get better
Do don't even sweat it, like a thick sweater
And tell my nigga Juvvy Rick to keep his head high
I know it's hard to see two of your bros die
Just heard shots by the dust towns
And turn around and see your brother jump outta Fresh towns
Before he fucked the world, 'cause it's a cold bitch
With no panties on, and some wet lips
And she licked her lips and stared at me
And then the music and the lord saved me
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the boy
It won't change, won't change
And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain't gon' do nothin'
It won't change, won't change, ohh
[Verse 2: TeeCee4800]
Dayumm, ain't shit changed since I was little
My pops doing the same thing and I wish he wouldn't
My grandmother died way back in '97
But she stayed over my head and she kept blessing
My brother in the pen, I can not stop stressing
85 to life, damn I think he got the message
Ay, but I keep your name floating on
TeeCee4800 and they know I'm on, huh
I got a lot of niggas hating on me
Cause they say a nigga eatin' while they stayin' hungry
I've been on the block forever, nigga, I ain't phony
Bitch I do this shit for real, you can ask my homies
Ha, blue chucks and my blue strings
Blue Dickies, selling crack, bitch I gangbang
And like 2Pac, I don't see a damn change
That's why I pity Jay Kwon, that's a damn shame
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the boy
It won't change, won't change
And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain't gon' do nothin'
It won't change, won't change, ohh
[Verse 3: YG]
Ugh, living life as a street nigga
Ever since the start like a beginner
Hungry nights when we couldn't even eat dinner
Life's a bitch so I fuck her, yeah I'm deep in her
Then they try to take the streets out of me
Nigga hit licks and cashed out like a lottery
Woke up one morning at gunpoint
How would you feel if the police run up in your joint?
Took my pops away for 'bout 3 years
Every night a nigga cry more than 3 tears
I was good though, nigga start gangbanging (Westside)
Hustle every day 'til I started maintaining
Classes got ditched and homies got killed
Hurt is the perfect word a nigga felt
Then, my nigga Ace pops died
Ever since then, we've been smoking like Popeyes
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can't take the hood out the boy
It won't change, won't change
And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain't gon' do nothin'
It won't change, won't change, ohh
