Youth.
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That's how they do it 'round here, man
They say our foot's in the door
And we tryna stick to the road
'Fore they put a lock on your door
That's how they do it 'round here, man
Leave us the lock with no key
Made us believe that's the dream
Lettin' us think it's for free
Hit twenty-two he in high school
And he don't know if it's the right move
And he don't know what he gonna or not
He got brown skin and he laid back
But he walk pasts when the cops asked
What you got there, in that backpack, I know
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, thеy do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, thеy doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
She nineteen and she feisty
And she'll always fight for the right thing
And she done puttin' shit nicely or not
She got brown skin and a heart of gold
And she hate havin' to walk alone
'Cause she don't know if she gon' make it home or not (or not)
[Refrain: Kiana Ledé]
That's how they do it 'round here, man
They say our foot's in the door
And we tryna stick to the road
'Fore they put a lock on your door
That's how they do it 'round here, man
Leave us the lock with no key
Make us believe that's the dream
Lettin' us think it's for free
She know that time is comin' soon
She don't know if it's the right move
But she gotta do what she gotta do, I know
She got brown skin and she think fast
But she hate that she can't fight back
'Cause she can't leave, shit don't pass or not (or not)
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
That's how they do, they do, they doin' it
Yeah
That's how they do it 'round here, man
