Please believe that some how, some way
We gotta make it up out the hood some day
Some how, some way
We gotta make it up out this life, c'mon
Some how, some way
We gotta make it up out the hood some day
Some way we gotta make it up out this life
Whether we dribble out this mother-
Rap metaphors and riddle out this mother-
Work second floors, hospital out this mother-
Some how we gotta get up out this mother-
Some day the cops'll kill a mother-
I don't always want to be this - mother-, damn
Wish I could take us all on this magic carpet ride through the sky
I used to play the hall up fifth floor me
And my boys we all poor getting - high
I seen the worst of the worst
I deserve every blessing I receive, I'm from the dirt
I planted my seed on unfertile land
Myrtle Park, Marcy, Flushing and Nostrand and still I grew
Some how I knew the sun will shine through
And touch my soul take hold of my hand
Look man, a tree grows in Brooklyn
Some how, some way
I gotta make it up out the hood someday
Some how, some way
I gotta make it up out this life, c'mon
Some way I gotta make it up out this hood someday
To old Nell, Sigel street, I ain't forget you
20 - on the block trying to chase that buck
Nosey neighbors and the haters keep their face on stuck (uh-huh)
Cops roll up on the pavement, break the dice games up
Behind smoke, kids can't chase the ice cream truck
Girls fighting over Rollie, young boys hype things up
- Fighting over -, young boys light things up
All the petty ass wars, - the night scene up
Remember Lil' Eddie, man, how he light mean up
Then they wonder why we light -
Back to back steamer, trying to relax, but I can't
I lean up, ain't the L or the refer that steam up, I steam up
It's my head stress to the point I get a fever
Thinking 'bout the block and all the mothers and kids
That can't leave and how the - gotta feed 'em
