[Chorus]
2
Around my way
3
Around my way
4
All the corners filled with sorrow
5
All the streets are filled with pain
6
Around my way
7
Around my way
8
Around my way
9
All the corners filled with sorrow
10
All the streets are filled with pain
11
Around my way
12
People let me paint a picture
13
You know I ain't a christian
14
I ain't a muslim, ain't a jew
15
I'm losing my religion
16
I speak to god directly
17
I know my god respect me
18
Cause he let me breathe his air and he really blessed me
19
I ain't knocking you, but I don't fuck with hospitals
20
Spit the gospel, truly knowing jesus like apostles do
21
Return like the prodigal son to honor Mohammed too
22
Stay away from ham like Abraham, Lord'll follow you
23
Even when you took my man Chaka God and what I'm a do
24
You gave the hood a modern day martyr in Brother Amadou
25
I'm on the block, I'm tracing your footsteps, I keep the faith in you
26
Your love, plus hard work and ambition
27
We gonna make it through, my songs is psalms I'm spiritual when I'm lyrical
28
This is for my soldier niggaz looking in the mirror who
29
Sitting home scratching off serials eating cereal
30
The way we find a way to survive, shit is a miracle
31
We got mice in the crib and roaches in the toasters, rice in the fridge
32
Bread in the oven by the roaster
33
We be takin' gypsy cabs and chasin' 50 bags
34
They be laced with shitty swag and it really get me mad
35
The way we saluting flags, wrapping them around our heads
36
when niggaz ain't become American till 9/11
37
Feeling like you gotta sneak into heaven
38
When the reverend looking like a pimp and the pimp look like the reverend
39
[Chorus]
40
Around my way
41
Around my way
42
All the corners filled with sorrow
43
All the streets are filled with pain
44
Around my way
45
These conditions make us strong
46
And we create our own businesses so later on
47
Our children have things in their name that they can say they own
48
A mix tape freestyle become your favorite song
49
No place like home when the cops ask you about your neighbors
50
Beat on you, threaten to incarcerate you
51
'Til you spill your guys like you a Garcia Vega
52
We roll blunts not the papers
53
Cop the greatest take it coast to coast
54
L.A. to Chicago like Smooth Operators
55
Cop the Dro and cop the blacks
56
Cop the four, cock it back
57
Drop the flow, rock a hat on top a stocking cap
58
Be a doctor or a lawyer or make your momma a promise that
59
You'll finish school, but when you got a dream you gotta follow that
60
And make sure when you make it out the hood, you always holler back
61
Think about what you got from that
62
And always put your dollars back
63
On top of that, this is a legacy and we a part of that
64
The hood is where my heart is at
65
Catch me around my way
66
[Chorus]
67
Around my way
68
Around my way
69
All the corners filled with sorrow
70
All the streets are filled with hate
71
Around my way
72
Around my way
73
Around my way
74
All the corners filled with sorrow
75
All the streets are filled with pain
76
Around my way
