[Chorus]
|
(Please believe that) Some how some way
|
We gotta make it up out the hood some day
|
Some how some way
|
We gotta make it up out this life
|
Some how some way
|
We gotta make it up out this life
|
Some way we gotta make it up out this life
|
|
[Jay-Z]
|
Weather we dribble out this motherfucker
|
Rap metaphors and riddle out this motherfucker
|
Work second floors, hospital out this motherfucker
|
Some how we gotta get up out this motherfucker
|
Some day the cops will kill a motherfucker
|
I don't always want to be this drug dealing
|
Motherfucker damn
|
Wish I could take us all on this magic carpet ride
|
Through the sky I
|
Use to play the hall up fifth floor me and my boys we
|
All poor getting high I
|
seen the worst of the worst I deserve every blessing
|
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 the sun will shine through
|
And touch my soul take hold of my hand
|
Look man a tree grows in Brooklyn
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Some how some way
|
I gotta make it up out the hood someday
|
Some how some way
|
I gotta make it up out this life
|
Some way I gotta make it up out this hood someday
|

|
[Talking:] To old Nell, Sigel street I ain't forget you
|
|
Twenty niggas on the block trying to chase that buck
|
Nosey neighbors and haters keep their face on stuck
|
Cops roll up on the pavement break the dice games up
|
Behind smoke kids can't chase the ice cream truck
|
Girls fighting over Rollie young boys hype things up
|
Niggas fighting over Cold young boys light things up
|
All the petty ass wars fuck the night scene up
|
Remember Lil' Eddie man how he light mean up
|
Then they wonder why we light green up
|
Back to back steamers trying to relax but I can't
|
I lean up ain't the L or the refer that steam up
|
It's my head stress to the point I get a fever
|
Thinking bout the block and all the mothers and kids
|
That can't leave and how the Chinks gotta feed'em
|
For the rest of their life fucking wings fried
|
Vegetable rice(gotta be kidding)
|
No breakfast Cap'n Crunch at night
|
Our kids eating lunch at night
|
In their beds all bunched in tight
|
No less than three or four(you know how it go)
|
Two by the foot two by the headboard
|
Man I'm getting scared for them (Yeah I know)
|
Thats how I feel for them
|
And we gotta grip the shorties on the block
|
All they do is smoke weed and drink forties
|
Cop their quarties
|
Enough to get the latest ROC, newest glock, and old Jordies
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Some how some way
|
We gonna make it up out the hood someday
|
Some how some way
|
We gonna make it up out this life
|
Some how some way
|
We gonna make it up out the hood one day
|
Some way we gonna make it up out this life
|
|
[Scarface]
|
Right here another lil' story bout this click I claimed
|
Another chapter based on how I get that game
|
Hanging round my neighborhood and bang my street
|
Sit and watch the passer-bys play my sweep
|
South-side sunny side
|
Blocks I run South Vegas, South Paul
|
Nigga all got guns
|
Over here we got this poor (?) get that there
|
We know tomorrow ain't promise so we get that there
|
Fuck sitting in the living room guarding the steps
|
Working inside a slump house starving to death
|
Serving these nigga flippers, quarter-ounces and
|
Zippers agents snapping your picture neighbors
|
Plotting to get ya
|
Situations is critic I was out here to get it
|
Living it like a savage cause nigga I gotta have it
|
And holding back all the mothers for a minute
|
Pumping hard dog
|
Erase enough to walk it down and fuck it all dog
|
Love being willied and your creek gonna rise
|
I'm be a nigga and these streets gonna rise
|
(Some how some way)
|
(Some how some way)
|
I'm be a nigga and these streets gonna rise
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Some how some way
|
We gotta make it up out the hood some day
|
Some how some way
|
We gotta make it up out this life
|
Some how some way
|
We gotta make it up out the hood some day
|
Some way we gotta make it up out this life
|
