I'll Take You There

[Hook: Petey Pablo & Joi]

Now how can one get up off the spot

God damn raise a family get up off the block

Where the city don't love and they don't care

But I will take you there

Now how can one get up off the spot

God damn raise a family get up off the block

Where the city don't love and they don't care

But I will take you there

[Verse 1: Birdman + Mannie Fresh]

Tell the sister like blood, little brother a thug

And how to survive the cracks in the middle of the mud

I'm the OG gangsta VL in the truth

Every nigga, in my city know how to tussle and shoot

My lil' homey got killed over a key and a pound

So when I pump, pump blood I'm a hold it down

His sister and his moms when I come around

Showin' love to the family when ya' lose your ground

Wassup lil' man had to write you a rap

Just to let you know this nigga, still got yo' back

Ain't too much change still doin' my shows

Stayin' away from fake niggas, and busta ass hoes

But enough about me and everything in my world

Congrats lil' dad heard you had a lil' girl

If theres anything they need and they ever in a jam

Don't hesitate to ask y'all call ya' Fam

Now how can one get up off the spot

God damn raise a family get up off the block

Where the city don't love and they don't care

But I will take you there

[Hook:]

[Verse 2: Birdman + Mannie Fresh]

But can you see life roomin' with no crack and pipe

And no weed to smoke no Gs in sight

And no cris to bust no wheels on bikes

And no pussy to fuck nobody to like

But can you see life roomin' with no money and goods

Big money heavy weights with nobody to cook

Nobody to book nobody to look

Tryin' to get back what motherfuckers they took

All you see is that platinum shit

A ghetto nigga, on stage grabbin' his dick

But you don't know what I have seen

From the bitches to the riches, to the triple beams

The project bricks the old school kicks

The early mornin' capers and the late night flicks

But since I moved on things ain't the same

I chose rap you chose the game

[Hook:]

[Verse 3: Birdman + Mannie Fresh]

Now how can one get up off the spot

God damn raise a family get up off the block

Where the city don't love and they don't care

But I will take you there

See your mom still strugglin' you up in the pen

But mom just wonderin when the end gon end

When the guns gon stop from spinnin' the bin

Or when the hood gon block the dope in the pen

Or when the light shot out you up in the park

The white trunk out your homey got marked

Or every nigga, that talk or rat in his heart

Or every nigga, that talk should die in the dark

I never forgot you and what we did

And how we came up and where we lived

I'm seven forever turn coke to never

Hard head 'til I'm dead until I'm 'bout my cheddar

Gotta get my ends wanna push a Benz

Eat steak live great and raise my twins

I can't believe I'm talkin' to ya' now that ya' gone

I luv ya' bruh and this is my song

[Hook x 2:]
