PREACHAS IN THA HOOD

PREACHAS IN THA HOOD - Smile Now, Cry Later lyrics

rate me

[Flow]

I'm just a young vato growin up in the hood

Followin my older brothers footsteps and it's all good

Everything is fine and I wanna be like to throw down all the time

Gotta be a baller to survive

Never knew what it's was like to have a new bike at 8 years

Wit my friends around my mom would shed some many tears

She wanted me to have everything in life

So at the age of 13 I started sellin dope under the street lights

Oh what a life most people don't even know

What me and my whole family went through really though

The world makes every thing looks so fun

Got kids packin guns and puttin people on the run

I'll drink a few beers and get drunk while I smoke skunk

Pop in that cd, I got bumps in my trunk

I'm rollin down the street and every thing is lookin so sweet

Not knowin where I'm gonna spend eternity

The Pastor told me, I better give my life right over to savior

So I don't have to spend eternity in hell and cry later

It could of been me as the shots rang in my neighborhood

Another victim understood

[Chorus]

Smile now, cry later

You better give your life over to the savoir

Hear me now

If you don't give it over to the savoir

Then you can smile now, cry later

[x2]

[Flow]

Me and Age, just kickin back reminisin about the days

Up in the past, when we used to bang

We'd roll through the hood, go to S M L K

Y go to get a tatto of my older brother A G E

The next thing you know we're rollin down the boulavard

Pulled up to the light bumpin music in our cars

There's a narc, the hudas and they heard us roar

So they got behind us and hit us wit the lights so

The next thing you know were face down on the floor

Wit a ton of po-pos round the 64

Searchin for rocks and glocks cause they said they heard shots

Around the blocks, those crazy cops

Then they picked us up and threw us in the car

Took us to the city jail, now we're behind bars

Then I heard a deep voice say

[Voice]

Come this way, for today is the day

[Chorus]

[Age]

Im wakin up and its a good Friday afternoon

Goin to get the ballers to go roll the boulavard

And sweat some fools, yeah me and the crew

To go buy some brew, and ask every baller to come too

Yeah, we stayin out late and partyin all night

Throwin up gang signs and gettin in gang fights, that right

Im packin my cuete and packin up David

Cause some fools rolled up actin real crazy

Blastin at me in my red SR GT

They followed me and try to leave me in pool of b l double o d

I didn't have the Lord in my life see

What thugs prayin for me to be set free

My grandma really cared for me, she really cared for me

She didn't wanna see me dead and six feet deep

Especially when I rolled that truck goin down the high way

Rolled it three time, flew out the window landin sideways

God really wanted me to wake up

To stop sellin guns and kill my flesh for His Son

It really took alot for me to see that is all bout the G O D

And to walk in the Spirit wit that homie

[Flow]

Just think I was thirteen when I started this rap thing

Thats also known as minisrty

But at the age of eleven though I had the same problems

Bangin wit the vato locos in Dever Colorado

Wit so much pain in my corazon

Cause an O.G. vato pulled the trigger on his chrome

He put a few caps in my homeboy's dome

And now he's dead, and now he's goin home

6 feet deep, under ground

Thats what bangin is all about

Cause we'll never quit out click we'll die for it

Get him back, and put a slug in their click

Round and round we go

Bustin caps, upside each others domes

It goes back and forth

I don't know what to do anymore

My older brother Age is locked up facin forty years

In the penetentray, dear God help me

Search for a way so I can get my life straight

I want to bang for the Lord, thats the right way

But any way, today is the best day (Why bro)

[Flow]

Cause today I got saved

And my future holds alot for me

In the rap ministry

Even though people come against me

[Chorus]
