August Alsina - Downtown (Feat. Kidd Kidd)

Word got around
that a nigga got shot
Heard a nigga drew down'
and he bucked so his ass
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 off third
and polock chilling
in the back of the tracks
Niggas got packs
trying to get 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 Sprite and codeine
First class I was only said fuck
high school so I left Reed
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
Out here tryna make a way
I won't let these niggas take me
down down down
Tomorrow
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Phone just RANG
heard a nigga got got
He was over
in the East last thing
that he heard six shots
He ain't gettin' 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
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
Out here tryna make a way
I won't let these niggas take me
down down down
Tomorrow
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Once upon a time down town
in a nine 9th ward
What it don't mind dying
Sworn to a life of crime was
a youngin' that only stood 5'5
Big money on his mind clothes
AIN'T wrinkled while
his hands on his iron
Shot six times right
in front of my mom
Kind of 32 man
I'm lucky to survive
On a pac juice real niggas
don't die
Bitch I'm from '80 slang crack
on the same set
Blood stains there from a homie
with his head cracked
O'Gs like A' wacks
they'll be doing
this shit way back since
A track
And we yell where the gang at
You can get fame there
from the way you're going
to reign that
Shoot for 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 round
my way
This ain't nothing new
you grew up downtown
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
down down down
Tomorrow
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas
I be riding I be riding on 'em
