Who We Are
Don't you wanna see it...
It started off when I was five riding on my bike
to shootin' BB gun bullets at kids I didn't like
Then we laughed it off, never did I have it all
I would be an act from crazy little things I saw
When I went to school, mama stayed by the phone
Just in case the principle decides to send me home
I Always Though everything would change
Sold out shows people scraming my name
But then again the streets made me
law here to blame me
yes oh Lord, whay don't you just take me
Off these streets, 'cause I'm of running from the police
Don't you wanna see
Don't you wanna be
Street life got me running from the police
It went from hanging with the stars
To me running from the law
This is just who we are (2x)
OG, oh see, running from the police
I ain't tryna do it big, I'm tryne do it obese
old boy, from the hood you can call him O Shay
Okay, real life, shit this ain't no roleplay
Ain't no Hollywood, real niggas probably would, snatch you up, put you down Think you king, take your crown
Livin' life, yes I know, ghetto got me on the go
So I'm staying on my grind, 'cause tomorrow might not show
Been through some real shit, y'all wouldn't understand
Doin' good now but wouldn't take that for granted, wouln't let the hand in
Ain't no silver spoons, only silver bullets aimed with the extra zoom
They got me aimed in the extra zoom, So I keep the master plan in the extra room
Took the way like what can ya say, 'cause that's the life of the streets
Don't you wanna see
Don't you wanna be
Street life got me running from the police
It went from hanging with the stars
To me running from the law
This is just who we are (2x)
See the light, that's the Thuth, all you actors play your role
Drop them cards, play it right, swallow pride and never fold
I had no choice
But to face the fact that my father's gome
Should I cry of man up?
Proud to be my mother's son
Got a case and went to jail, under pressure, didn't tell
The Truth, under oath, my heart is gold, I live by code
Came alone, I leave alone, main line, walk the yard
Now I'm home, still grindin', clock windin, goin' hard
Same hood, same friends, so fly like a Jordan 10's
Won't change, borned and raised, trainin' from a black Benz
Poppa's said to forget it all, try not to trip and fall
Grabbed my girl, walked them off, face the fact, I want it all
Count me in, I'm all in, product of the environment
Think you hot? think you not
turn you out like firemen
from zero, to the hero, right and don't call me out, Hollywood that's my town
9Lives it's goin' down
Don't you wanna see
Don't you wanna be
Street life got me running from the police
It went from hanging with the stars
To me running from the law
This is just who we are (4x)
