Hip Hop-August Alsina
I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's
Dope boys rolling through shiting on ya heavy
Just came in the trunk beating down your block
Only 4 years old and Biggie got shot
I remember playing on the block hanging
on the block
Young niggas slanging on the block
getting off them rocks
Now we living better now Gucci sweater now
Weather still getting colder we could change
the weather now
But I
Came up in criminal days
Living these criminal ways what can I say
Hugging the block every day
Grinding and making a way
And that I pray for better days
That it don't be the same tomorrow
Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle
And say
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I pray for more better days
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I know that I can feel change
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I pray for more better days
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I know that I can feel change
Everything good but everything bad
Mama always said show thanks for what you have
Boy never forget to realise your bad
Just go up and grind you if you let it
Now I'm out here tryna get it
really out here tryna get it
Always knew that I would make it
maybe it was so prophetic
Cause I came from the bottom
and the humbless beginnings
From the youngest nigga grinding
to the youngest nigga wining
Came up in criminal days
Living these criminal ways what can I say
Hugging the block every day
Grinding and making a way
And that I pray for better days
That it don't be the same tomorrow
Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle
And say
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I pray for more better days
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I know that I can feel change
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I pray for more better days
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I know that I can feel change
Fore you die you make your mark
and reach new levels
Want the bread want the diamonds and the bezels
And if these bitches that you want have several
Just gotta know lotta shit's temporary
It won't last no no it won't last no
Meaning it til' here
Next thing you know it's all gone
That's why I been on my crazy outchea
Long as I grind better days are near
Came up in criminal days
Living these criminal ways what can I say
Hugging the block every day
Grinding and making a way
And that I pray for better days
That it don't be the same tomorrow
Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle
And say
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I pray for more better days
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I know that I can feel change
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I pray for more better days
Hip-Hop hey Hip-Hop hey
I know that I can feel change
