Who we are

Don´t you want to see it
It started off when I was 5
Riding on my bike.
To shootin´ BB 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,
Mom would stay by the phone.
Just in case the principal decides to send me home.
I always thought everything would change,
Sold out shows, people screaming my name.
But then again the streets made me,
Law here to blame me,
Yes, oh Lord why don´t you just take me,
Off these streets, cuz I´m tired 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
[x2]
OG, oh see, running from the police,
I ain´t tryna do it big, I´m tryna do it obese.
Oh boy, from the hood, you can call him O Shay
Okay, real life, shit this ain´t no role play.
Ain´t no Hollywood, real niggas probably would,
Set you up, put down, make you king, take your crown.
Livin´ life, yes I know, ghetto got me on the go.
So I´m stayin´ on my grind, cuz tomorrow might not show,
Been through some real shit, y´all wouldn´t understand.
Doin´ good now but wouldn´t take half a grand,
Wouldn´t let the hand in.
Ain´t no silver spoons,
Only silver bullets aimed with the extra zoom.
They got me aimed on that extra zoom,
So I keep them mad to plan on the extra room.
Take the way like what they say,
Cause that´s the life on 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
[x2]
See the light, that´s the truth,
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 gone,
Should I cry or 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 Jordan 10´s.
Won´t change, born and raised,
Trainin´ from a black Benz.
Poppa´s tryin´ to forget it all,
Tryin´ 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,
Party on, that´s my town,
9 Lives it´s going 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
