Around my way

All the corners filled with sorrow

All the streets are filled with pain

Around my way
6
Around my way
7
Around my way
8
All the corners filled with sorrow
9
All the streets are filled with pain
10
Around my way
11
People let me paint a picture
12
You know I ain't a Christian
13
I ain't a Muslim, ain't a Jew
14
I'm losing my religion
15
I speak to god directly
16
I know my god respect me
17
Cause he let me breathe his air and he really blessed me
18
I ain't knocking you, but I don't fuck with hospitals
19
Spit the gospel, truly knowing jesus like apostles do
20
Return like the prodigal son to honor Mohammed too
21
Stay away from ham like Abraham, Lord I follow you
22
Even when you took my man Chaka God and what I'm a do
23
You gave the hood a modern day martyr in Brother Amadou
24
I'm on the block, I'm tracing your footsteps, I keep the faith in you
25
Your love, plus hard work and ambition
26
We gonna make it through, my songs is psalms I'm spiritual when I'm lyrical
27
This is for my soldier niggas looking in the mirror who
28
Sitting home scratching off serials eating cereal
29
The way we find a way to survive, shit is a miracle
30
We got mice in the crib and roaches in the toasters, rice in the fridge
31
Bread in the oven by the roaster
32
We be takin' gypsy cabs and chasin' 50 bags
33
They be laced with shitty swag and it really get me mad
34
The way we saluting flags, wrapping them around our heads
35
When niggas ain't become American till 9/11
36
Feeling like you gotta sneak into heaven
37
When the reverend looking like a pimp and the pimp look like the reverend
38
Around my way
39
Around my way
40
All the corners filled with sorrow
41
All the streets are filled with pain
42
Around my way
43
These conditions make us strong
44
And we create our own businesses so later on
45
Our children have things in their name that they can say they own
46
A mix tape freestyle become your favorite song
47
No place like home when the cops ask you about your neighbors
48
Beat on you, threaten to incarcerate you
49
Till you spill your guts like you a Garcia Vega
50
We roll blunts not the papers
51
Cop the greatest take it coast to coast
52
L.A. to Chicago like Smooth Operators
53
Cop the Dro and cop the blacks
54
Cop the four, cock it back
55
Drop the flow, rock a hat on top a stocking cap
56
Be a doctor or a lawyer or make your momma a promise that
57
You'll finish school, but when you got a dream you gotta follow that
58
And make sure when you make it out the hood, you always holler back
59
Think about what you got from that
60
And always put your dollars back
61
On top of that, this is a legacy and we a part of that
62
The hood is where my heart is at
63
Catch me around my way
