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