Word got around that a [bad word] got shot

Word got around that a [bad word] got shot 
Heard a [bad word] drew down' and he bucked so his head 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 out there on the po' block 
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 cat in my lap 
seventeen had no dreams, drinking solo cups riding codeine 
First class I was so lean, said [bad word] high-school, so I left green. 

[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! 
I'm just trying to make a way, 
I won't let these niggas take me down, down, down, ri-ride 
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 [bad word] got got 
He was over in the East last thing that he heard six shots 
He ain't getting no love from the cops, nobody got caught 
Real talk when I heard who it was, heart [bad word] near stopped 
somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back 
Let'em know cause a [bad word] gotta feel that! 
Sittin shotgun with the shotgun 
When you hear the shots come, [bad word] don't run! 
Already bad, it can only get worse 
Hand full of steel cause the [bad word] 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! 
I'm just trying to make a way, 
I won't let these niggas take me down, down, down, ri-ride 
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 night 
Where they don't mind dying, torn to it life of crime, 
was a youngin only stood 5'5 
Big money on his mind, 
clothes ain't wrinkled while his hands on his eye. 
Shots six times run in front of my mind 
Kind of 32, man, I'm lucky to survive 
On that Pac juice real niggas don't die!  [bad word]  I'm from tack, slang crack on the same set 
Blood stains at from the homie where his head cracked 
OG's like A-Wax that been doing this [bad word] 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! 
I'm just trying to make a way, 
I won't let these niggas take me down, down, down, ri-ride 
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
