Ghetto Lullaby

[Chorus]
You know the truth will set you free, so baby, why lie?
I wanna be a better man, you know that I try
Blowing weed smoke in the night sky
Hustler singing melodies, a ghetto lullaby
Don't you worry 'bout my life
You don't understand us and that's fine
They say we too savage to act right
But when they give us chances, we capitalize

[Verse 1]
We don't get revenge, we just return favors
Success a dish best served cold with no flavor
Serving work in front the neighbors
Learned the game from off thе pavement
First to third, collecting paymеnts
Hit my target, kept on aiming, yeah
I mapped out my goals and I strategized
Made my dreams come true, I had to actualize
Ain't no passing time, we using every minute wisely
Remember trapping in the park, cops right behind me
Bagging up mid with the orange peel
We was the OGs from our part of town, for real
Brodie, yo, we put it down, for real
I could stand on Twin Hills Drive and make a thousand still

[Chorus]
You know the truth will set you free, so baby, why lie?
I wanna be a better man, you know that I try
Blowing weed smoke in the night sky
Hustler singing melodies, a ghetto lullaby
Don't you worry 'bout my life
You don't understand us and that's fine
They say we too savage to act right
But when they give us chances, we capitalize

[Verse 2]
Uh, and I'm taking all my chances
Calculated risks adding up to advancements
Life's a bitch, but I still make glances
And we don't pick the ballroom, baby, we just dancing, yeah
Thirty days in Europe got me feeling homesick
The W nice, but I just want my own shit
They say we savage, but they still study us
Buddy-buddy us and get they money up
Appropriate the trap, but niggas still in danger
All he did was have some weed, why he still in cages?
Young and reckless with intentions to relay the message
I'll lead the horse to water, if he drink, it's up to him
If you listen, I'ma drop a gem
Use your mind or jot with pen
Either way, just lock it in
And always remember you a king and being strong is not a sin
Shine your light bright, they gon' try to dim, but fuck 'em

[Chorus]
You know the truth will set you free, so baby, why lie?
I wanna be a better man, you know that I try
Blowing weed smoke in the night sky
Hustler singing melodies, a ghetto lullaby
Don't you worry 'bout my life
You don't understand us and that's fine
They say we too savage to act right
But when they give us chances, we capitalize

[Outro]
Don't you worry 'bout my life
Don't you worry 'bout my life
