Yeah, love Love, love, love Love, hmm You tell me it's a cold world you ain't never lie This for my n- worldwide, yes i'm back home And pay attention to my shit and keep your head high And listen up cause this ain't just another rap song My n- 17 never had his palms out He grabbed some work from out the shoebox in his bedroom I really hate to keep this shit inside my mom house Before she sleep I know she think I'ma be dead soon Consumed by the perfume of the street life, engulfed by the weed smoke in the O.E I often think it ain't gon' never be no peace right Cause if it ain't another n- it's the police He hit the door and put the dope inside his backpack And walk across the boulevard to where his aunt stay His mama stressing he been helping with the bills now But he been slipping, serving n-s in the broad day He heard some sirens from behind him and his heart stopped Five cops on the block, yelling "n- freeze!" He stood still as the trees with his jaw dropped "Ay put your hands on your head and get on your knees" Please, he ran, fast as he can and the shots rang He fell face down on his concrete tomb Apologetic cause instead of saying love you His last words to his mother "I'll be home soon" Damn I'll be home soon You tell me it's a cold world you ain't never lie This for my n- worldwide, yes i'm back home And pay attention to my shit and keep your head high And listen up cause this ain't just another rap song Just another rap song, rap song Nah this ain't just another rap song She had a problem with them bitches with the long hair And even though she keep her makeup and her weave tight Somehow she couldn't help but think I don't belong here They try to holler while she walk beneath the streetlights She tired of dealing with them n-s cause it's all games That's when he said "Hey can I take you out to eat right, and get to know you?" She said "Yeah that's what they all claim" Before you know it she was smiling, he had G right After a little hesitation, let her guard down She finally let him get the number and he called quick, they clicked Ay, fast forward to the bedroom He going up her shirt and kissing on her soft lips She let him hit and while he dips into the bathroom She thinking damn that shit was good but it was so soon And something told her go and check the n- cellphone A text to his girl saying "I'll be home soon" I'll be home soon Damn I'll be home soon You tell me it's a cold world you ain't never lie This for my n- worldwide, yes i'm back home And pay attention to my shit and keep your head high And listen up cause this ain't just another rap song Just another rap song, rap song Nah this ain't just another rap song
