Nigga 4 Life

We grew up quick

Talking bout the ones I grew up with

Some Blood, some threw up Crip

We all got gifts

Some just don't ever get found

You wouldn't know cause you ain't never around

I'm heavy with vows

Cameras on and I'm ready to smile

And let the world see the ghetto with style

If I was a child I would hope to understand the future is now

You look good in a cap and a gown

He ain't no thug

He don't really wanna see no judge

He just can't keep his feet out the mud

You better watch yo step

I got your back you should watch yo self

You can't make it out without no help

We grew up proud

South central man we grew up wild

Leimert Park I guess you up now

That's all I hope

You was down when we was all out broke

You my nigga bro

That's all I know

If the last time I see you is at the end of the night

You gone be my nigga for life

I said we in this wrong world trying to make things right

And you gone be my nigga for life

Just know there's two of us on yo head if we get in a fight

That's why you know my nigga for life

So if I don't make it home at the end of the night

You still gone be my nigga for life

That's what they wanna do, that's what they wanna do

Because now everybody is shell shocked and we having trauma

We be having traumatic nights always

I wanna get away from L.A

You wanna get away from it but you can't

That's what they taught me

The streets didn't teach me that Thug Life live or die

The world taught me that

I thought I could retire and move on

When I moved on into the so called the real world

The civilzed world

These motherfuckers is worst than the niggas in the streets!

Don't say my name

Westside we don't play no games

We getting money girl it ain't no thang

Can't you tell

We came up when they thought we would fail

I can't picture you just sitting in jail

Let's make that switch

I know a way we can all get rich

It's on paper and it's all legit

You can't make it if you never commit

My first song shit it wasn't a hit

You see I ain't quit

Now my money go as high as a fence

And I ain't never coming late on the rent

I see the moms drop they kids off at school each day

I hope they learn something new each day

Yeah between the liquor stores, gun fights, gangsters, and cops

It's so hard to make it off these blocks

But you gone raise a King baby girl just watch

Keep going please

Don't ever stop

If the last time I see you is at the end of the night

You gone be my nigga for life

I said we in this wrong world trying to make things right

And you gone be my nigga for life

Just know there's two of us on yo head if we get in a fight

That's why you know my nigga for life

So if I don't make it home at the end of the night

You still gone be my nigga for life
