[Verse 1:]

Word got around that a nigga got shot

Heard a nigga drew down' and he bucked so his ass it got popped

We was on my block trying to move these rocks

Trying to stack this cash on the low, gotta duck these cops

We was right out there' chilling in the back of the track

Niggas got packs, trying to ditch them racks

X5 I was riding in the back with the brother's' round kicking in the gat in my lap

17 had no dreams, drinking four loco's riding codeine

First class I was so lean, then fuck high-school, so I left green.

[Hook:]

No one told me life would be this way!

I swear nobody told me

Guess this is the game we chose to play

Crazy how it's always been the same!

People dying every day, that ain't nothing new

When you from downtown, downtown!

I'm just trying to make a way,

I won't let these niggas take me downtown, downtown!

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

[Verse 2:]

Phone just ringing heard a nigga got got

He was ' on the East last thing that he heard six shots

He ain't getting no love from the cops, nobody got caught

Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped

Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back

Let 'em know cause a nigga gotta feel that!

Sitting shotgun with the shot gun

When you hear the shots come, nigga don't run!

Already bad, it can only get worse

Hand full of steel cause the shit still hurts

Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse

Never saw 25, had to put him in the dirt.

[Hook:]

No one told me life would be this way!

I swear nobody told me

Guess this is the game we chose to play

Crazy how it's always been the same!

People dying every day, that ain't nothing new

When you from downtown, downtown!

I'm just trying to make a way,

I won't let these niggas take me downtown, downtown!

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

[Verse 3:]

Once upon a time down town in a nine

What it don't mind crime doing 2 2 stood 5, 5

Big money on his mind, clothes and riko while his hands on his eye.

Shots six times run in front of my mind

Kind of 32, man, I'm looking to survive

On a pac, juice real niggas don't die!

Bitch, I'm from A town, slang crack on the same side

Blood stains there from a homie with his head cracked

Home Gs like A' wacks they'll be doing this shit way back since A track.

And we get around, you can't get

You can get fame there from the way you're going to reign that

Truth from the head watch how you aim that

Price on your head and we gonna take that

It's about to go down, you ain't about this then you better go now

Sun going down, keep it going down!

Everybody law down ski mask down!

All you gonna see is my eyes and my frown

Last thing you hear is my gun going pow

It happens every day while I'm away

This ain't nothing new you grew up downtown.

[Hook:]

People dying every day, that ain't nothing new

When you from downtown, downtown!

I'm just trying to make a way,

I won't let these niggas take me downtown, downtown!

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em

Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
