Who We Are

Don't you wanna see it...

It started off when I was five riding on my bike

to shootin' BB gun bullets at kids I didn't like

Then we laughed it off, never did I have it all

I would be an act from crazy little things I saw

When I went to school, mama stayed by the phone

Just in case the principle decides to send me home

I Always Though everything would change

Sold out shows people scraming my name

But then again the streets made me

law here to blame me

yes oh Lord, whay don't you just take me

Off these streets, 'cause I'm of running from the police

Don't you wanna see

Don't you wanna be

Street life got me running from the police

It went from hanging with the stars

To me running from the law

This is just who we are (2x)

OG, oh see, running from the police

I ain't tryna do it big, I'm tryne do it obese

old boy, from the hood you can call him O Shay

Okay, real life, shit this ain't no roleplay

Ain't no Hollywood, real niggas probably would, snatch you up, put you down Think you king, take your crown

Livin' life, yes I know, ghetto got me on the go

So I'm staying on my grind, 'cause tomorrow might not show

Been through some real shit, y'all wouldn't understand

Doin' good now but wouldn't take that for granted, wouln't let the hand in

Ain't no silver spoons, only silver bullets aimed with the extra zoom

They got me aimed in the extra zoom, So I keep the master plan in the extra room

Took the way like what can ya say, 'cause that's the life of the streets

Don't you wanna see

Don't you wanna be

Street life got me running from the police

It went from hanging with the stars

To me running from the law

This is just who we are (2x)

See the light, that's the Thuth, all you actors play your role

Drop them cards, play it right, swallow pride and never fold

I had no choice

But to face the fact that my father's gome

Should I cry of man up?

Proud to be my mother's son

Got a case and went to jail, under pressure, didn't tell

The Truth, under oath, my heart is gold, I live by code

Came alone, I leave alone, main line, walk the yard

Now I'm home, still grindin', clock windin, goin' hard

Same hood, same friends, so fly like a Jordan 10's

Won't change, borned and raised, trainin' from a black Benz

Poppa's said to forget it all, try not to trip and fall

Grabbed my girl, walked them off, face the fact, I want it all

Count me in, I'm all in, product of the environment

Think you hot? think you not

turn you out like firemen

from zero, to the hero, right and don't call me out, Hollywood that's my town

9Lives it's goin' down

Don't you wanna see

Don't you wanna be

Street life got me running from the police

It went from hanging with the stars

To me running from the law

This is just who we are (4x)
