RayClev Left Turn

Tekst piosenki

Wasn’t the boy in the hood
The hood was in the boy
Mind surpassed the likes of a thief or a d-boy
It’s build or destroy, mother had a greater blueprint
She balances two jobs just to prove it
The soundtrack to death & sirens made her lose it
Watching blacks kill each other staying there was useless
Then she found a good man, we moved out to the burbs
But no matter your location bullshit can occur
In LA niggas drive by pull the trigger
White boys out here drive by & yell nigger !
Different place, but the same shit
Wherever a black man steps he’s hated
Even by his own, oblivious to behavior our enemies condone
Yeah kill your brother, grab your chrome
Just another dead brother
Leave a stressed mother, his broken hearted lover
I’ve always wondered how my destiny would be
If I didn’t escape & let these streets get the best of me
Avoiding no-lifes grilling cause they pack heat
Hop up off the bus, double-take & hit the backstreets
Pick my clothes according to the local demographic
Keep a burner stashed, smashing through traffic
What if my crowd change, would I be the same person
Know the same things, would my circumstances worsen

(Boyz-N-the Hood sample)
