[Intro]
Bbm
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
Bbm
Lifestyles of the kid who never had shit
Living off that bad shit, that shoot shit, that stab shit
Bbm
Rock a flag and don’t give a fuck about U.S flag shit
George Bush got some nerve, fuck a war, we trying to serve
Bbm
Motherfucking 8 balls, til’ we live at the pool hall
And knock billiards out of your business, ya bitch
Bbm
Thats my surroundings in Compton, have common sense
Smell death in the air, around here, thats a common scent
Bbm
You know the gunpowder
You know when your homie barely blink, he just done powder
Only at seventeen
Bbm
You know the common statistic inspired by hoop dreams
Now hire about street schemes, and getting blood money
Bbm
I try my best to stay focused and hope the city love me
Pray it's not lust, cause if it is, I’d be death in a month
Bbm
Lord forbid, for the good kid
They took his life
She want her baby back, like a cooked rib
But that’s just life, where I’m from
[Hook]
Bbm
If there’s a shining star
Hope my city is not too far
So we can live again
Bbm
See, where I come from is hard
Hope all over, we can start
So we can live again, so we can live again
[Verse 2: CurT@in$]
Bbm
I’ve seen this young’un on the train, I had to pick his brain
He said he on his way uptown to get a brick of caine’
Bbm
He said he needed a come up, because selling nicks' was lame
He needed a change, so I gave him fifty cent
Bbm
He looked up at me like I was crazy, I said listen man
I rather give you my last to see you live again
Bbm
Just cause you change what you pitching, don’t make the difference
You gotta get off the mound, and put the game down
Bbm
Petty thoughts could keep your brain down
I leave you with that jewel, go get the chain now
And put it together
Bbm
You see coming up, we ain’t have that shit to keep our mind focused
I love Mike, but it was a hassle trying to buy Jordans
Bbm
My nigga hustle all day in front of the corner store
To get a pair, niggas killed him right in front the mall
So all the hustling for nothing man
I threw my pair on the lightpole because of him
Like fuck it man
[Hook]
Bbm
If there’s a shining star
Hope my city is not too far
So we can live again
Bbm
See, where I come from is hard
Hope all over, we can start
So we can live again, so we can live again
[Verse 3: Schoolboy Q]
Bbm
Trying to move foward, though it never stops
A mother’s son dead, was killed by some kids popped
Bbm
Shots, they back and forth
Murder for murder, the beef recycled is light
Bbm
No idols, bunch of unread bibles
Allies that turned to rivals, niggas turned street disciples
Bbm
Smokers get high as Eiffiels
Addicted to being fiends
Because of the feds as we pledge to let our plague spread
Bbm
Tiny this and if and that if they banging back
Because they
Adapt to being black, strapped and gang tats, look
Bbm
Rats get mouse trapped
Can’t afford tuition
But hit a lick I bet I earn crack, I heard that
Bbm
Looking at the sky, hoping a light would shine
Daylight saving times all the time on this block of mines
Bbm
All the time with this Glock of mines
Swear to God man it ain’t a rhyme, I grind for a piece of mine
Co-sign
[Hook]
Bbm
If there’s a shining star
Hope my city is not too far
So we can live again
Bbm
See, where I come from is hard
Hope all over, we can start
So we can live again, so we can live again
[Bridge/Outro: Black Ice]
Bbm
When you look at my brothers, what's your first impression?
Bbm
Does the sight of us leave you guessing?
Or do you understand the stressing, the aggression
The look of no hope on my niggas' faces
Bbm
Like the Lord overlooked us when He handed down His graces
Bbm
See embraces, fall short on the numb tips of street entrepeneur fingers
Stuck in the walls of the project halls where the Coke smell still lingers -
External blingers is all we can be
Bbm
Cause on the inside we been given nothin to shine on
And the gig is harder to get than Coke so niggas get their grind on
Because the TV tells us aim high Nigga, make all goals lateral
But that takes paper that we don't have so niggas put their souls up as collateral
Bbm
Now, some niggas reclaim 'em, some blame 'em
Making excuses to sell 'em
But when a nigga goes from not doin', to doin'
Bbm
What can you tell him?
Not to be a nigga?
Shit I gots to be a nigga that's how I pay the bills and I'mma do that whether I gotta sling this coke or exploit these rhyme skills
[Hook]
Bbm
If there’s a shining star
Hope my city is not too far
So we can live again
Bbm
See, where I come from is hard
Hope all over, we can start
So we can live again, so we can live again
[Outro]
