Some How Some Way

Please believe that
Somehow, some way
We gotta make it up out the hood, someday
Somehow, some way
We gotta make it up out this life, come on

Somehow, some way
We gotta make it up out the hood, someday
Some way we gotta make it up out this life

Whether we dribble out this mothafucka
Rap metaphors, and riddle out this mothafucka
Work 2nd floors, hospital out this mafucka
Some how we gotta get up out this mothafucka

Someday the cops kill a mafucka
I don't always wanna be this drug dealin' mafucka, damn
Wish i could take us all
On this magic carpet ride through the sky

I used to play the hall up 5th floor
Me and my boys we all poor gettin' high
I see the worse at a worse
I deserve every blessin', i received i'm from the dirt

I planted my seed on unfertile land
Myrtle park marcy, flushing and nostrand
And still i grew, some how i knew dat the sun'll shine through
And touch my soul, take hold of my hand
Look man a tree grows in brooklyn

Somehow, some way
I gotta make it up the hood someday
Somehow, some way
I gotta make it up out this life, come on
Some way
I gotta make it up out the hood someday

Too old nell, sigel street i ain't forget chu
20 niggas on the block tryin' chase that buck
Nusey neighbors and the haters keep their face on stuck
Cops roll up on the pavement breaks the dice games up

Behind smoke kids can't chase the ice cream truck
Girls fightin' over rollie young hype things up
Niggas fightin' over colder young boys light things up
All the petty ass wars fuck the night scene up

Remember lil' eddie draw man i ain't like mean up
Then they wonder why we like green up
Back to back steam up, tryin' to relax but i can't lean up
In the l or the repha that steamer that steam up is my head

Stress to the point i get a fever, think about the block
And all the mothers and their kids
That can't leave and how the chinks gotta feed 'em
For the rest of their life fuckin' wings, fried vegetable rice

Gotta be kiddin', no breakfast cap'n crunch at night
Our kids eatin' lunch at night
In their beds all bunched an tight
No less than 3 or 4
Know how go 2 by the foot 2 by the headboard, man

I'm gettin scared ya'll i feel for them
Yeah, i know, gotta grip the shorties on the block
All they do is smoke weed and drink 40's
Cop their lower quarties nough to get the latest roc
Newest glock, and old jordies

Somehow, some way
We goin' make it up out the sewa one day
Somehow, some way
We goin' make it up out this life, yeah and

Somehow, some way
We goin' make it up out the hood one day
Some way
We goin' make it up out this life

Right cher's another lil' story bout' this clique i claimed
Another chapter based on how i get that game
Hangin' round my neighborhood and bang my street
Sittin' watch the passers-by play my sweep

South side, sunny side, blocks i run
South vegas, south paul niggas all got guns
Over here we got this cold salad get that there
We know tomorrow ain't a promise so get that there

Fucksittin' in the livin' room, guardin' the steps
Workin' inside a slump house starvin' to death
Servin' these niggas flippers
Quarter ounces in zippers

Agents snappin' you're picture
Neighbors plottin' to get ya
Situation is critic, i was out here to get it
Livin' it like a savage, 'cause nigga i gotta have it

Holdin' back on the mothers for a minute, pumpin' hard dog
Erase enough to walk it down and fuckit all dog
Love bein' willied and you're creek gonna rise
Im'ma be a nigga and these streets gonna rise

Somehow, some way
Som how, some way
Im'ma be a nigga
And these streets gonna rise out
(somehow, some way)

Somehow, some way
We gotta make it up out the hood someday
Somehow, some way
We gotta make it up out this life, come on

Som how, some way
We gotta make it up out the hood, someday
Some way
We gotta make it up out this life

We ride, come on now
