[Verse 1:]
|
I got shit I wanna share with you
|
Couple things explaining reasons why I can't be there with you
|
Back in the day we parred and thought we'd never split paths
|
Didn't see no definite ending to the madness and the laughs
|
Never thought I would pack in the jackin' for something more solid
|
I ain't changed, I just found a better way to steer my knowledge
|
Running around hype and criminal antics fed me for a while
|
But studio gave me a lot more creative style
|
And took me to another world beyond the estate
|
Some kind of haven from the beef and some of the stress, mate
|
I wouldn't call it no escape, the roads are in my heart
|
Making it that more difficult for me to climb the chart (for real)
|
But it's the sacrifice I made, it's all good, star
|
Same reason I ain't always in the hood star
|
I do my thing, you know I'm grafting like I always was
|
It just ain't quite like it was, simply cause
|
|
[Hook:]
|
There's world outside of the manor and I want you to see it
|
I can see it [x3]
|
Can you see it?
|
There's world outside of the ends and I want you to see it
|
I can see it [x3]
|
Can you see it?
|
There's world outside of the hood and I want you to see it
|
I can see it [x3]
|
Can you see it?
|
There's world outside of the ghetto and I want you to see it
|
I can see it [x3]
|
Can you see it?
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Money, cars, guns and women most males desire
|
I gonna stay red-blooded til I expire
|
Not caught up in the hype, I'm caught up in the scheme of things
|
Seen a couple of figures but I still dream of things
|
Like the kind of shit money can't connect me with
|
Unconditional love I won't regret to give
|
I'm young, black, rich and ruthless, I swear, star
|
Still if you need a helping hand you know I'm there, star
|
I'm from the street, you're from the street, we all done dirt
|
Now it's time to flip the script, fuck the suffering and the hurt
|
Cause I've seen the bigger picture, it's all good
|
There really is a world outside of the hood
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[coughing]
|
|
I know there's more than this, man
|
There has to be more than this, man
|
Nah, there's gotta be more than this, man
|
Standardly there's gotta be somewhere other than this, man
|
