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. {Come on}
"Some How Some Way" we gotta make it up out the hood Some Day......
Some Way we gotta make it up out this life.
[Jay-Z]
Whether we dribble out this mothaf**ka,
rap metaphors, & riddle out this mothaf**ka,
work 2nd floors, hospital out this maf**ka,
Some How we gotta get up out this mothaf**ka.
Some Day the cops kill a maf**ka,
I don't always wanna be this drug dealin' maf**ka d**n.....
wish I could take us all
on this magic carpet ride through the sky, I....
used to play the hall up 5th floor
me & my boys we all poor gettin' high, I....
see the worse at a worse
I deserve every blessin', I received I'm from the dirt, I.....
planted my seed on unfertile land
Myrtle Park Marcy, Flushing & Nostrand, and....
still I grew
Some How I knew dat the sun'll shine through, and...
touch my soul,
take hold of my hand,
look man a tree grows in Brooklyn.

Too old Nell, Sigel street I ain't forget chu,
20 Ni**as on the block tryin' chase that buck....
nusey neighbors & the haters keep their face on stuck,
cops roll up on the pavement breaks the dice games up,
behind smoke kids can't chase the ice cream truck,
girls fightin' over Rollie young hype things up,
Ni**as fightin' over Colder young boys light things up.
All the petty a** wars f**k the night scene up,
remember Lil' Eddie Draw man I ain't like mean up,
then they wonder why we like green up,
back to back steam up
tryin' to relax but I can't lean up
in the L or the repha that steamer that steam up is my head,
stress to the point I get a fever....
think about the block
and all the mothers & their kids that can't
leave and how the chinks gotta feed 'em...
for the rest of their life f**kin'
wings, fried vegetable rice....
{gotta be kiddin'} no breakfest Cap'n Crunch at night.
