August Alsina - Downtown lyrics
rate me(feat. Kidd Kidd)
[Verse 1:]
Word got around that a nigga got shot
Heard a nigga drew down' and he bucked so his ass got popped
We was on my block trying to move these rocks
Trying to stack this cash on the low, gotta duck these cops
We was right off 3rd and Pollock
Chilling in the back of the track
Niggas got packs, trying to get them racks
X5 I was riding in the back with the brother's ride
kicking in the gat in my lap
seventeen had no dreams, drinking 4 Loko, Sprite, and codeine
First class I was on lean, said fuck high-school, so I left free.
[Hook:]
No one told me life would be this way (I swear nobody told me)
Guess this is the game we chose to play
Crazy how it's always been the same
People dying everyday, that ain't nothing new
When you from downtown, downtown!
Out'chea` tryna make a way,
I won't let these niggas take me down, down, down, so I riide
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
[Verse 2:]
Phone just ring, Heard a nigga got got
He was over in the East last thing that he heard six shots
He ain't get no love from the cops, nobody got caught
Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped
somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back
Letting off cause a nigga gotta feel that!
Sittin shotgun with the shotgun
When you hear the shots come, nigga don't run!
Already bad, it can only get worse
Hand full of steel cause the shit still hurts
Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse
Never saw 25, had to put him in the dirt.
[Hook:]
No one told me life would be this way! (I swear nobody told me)
Guess this is the game we chose to play
Crazy how it's always been the same
People dying everyday, that ain't nothing new
When you from downtown, downtown!
Out'chea` tryna make a way,
I won't let these niggas take me down, down, down, so I riide
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
[Kidd Kidd:]
Once upon a time downtown in the nine (9th ward)
Where they don't mind dying, torn to a life of crime,
was a youngin only stood 5'5
Big money on his mind,
clothes ain't wrinkled while his hands on his iron.
Shots six times right in front of my mom
Holla 32, man, I'm lucky to survive
On that Pac juice real niggas don't die!
Bitch, I'm from A tack, slang crack on the same set
Blood stains at from the homie where his head cracked
O.G's like A-Wax that been doing this shit way back since 8 track.
And we get a rider gang at
You can get fame at from the way you're goin bang that
Shoot for the head watch how you aim that
Price on your head and we goin take that
It's about to go down, you ain't about this then you better go now
Sun going down, kick a door down!
Everybody lay down, ski mask down!
All you gonna see is my eyes and my frown
Last thing you hear is my gun going Pow
It happens every day around my way
This ain't nothing new when you grew up downtown.
[Hook:]
People dying everyday, that ain't nothing new
When you from downtown, downtown!
Out'chea` tryna make a way,
I won't let these niggas take me down, down, down, so I riide
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
Riding on these niggas, I'll be riding, I'll be riding on 'em
