Always Hoped

always hoped I'd be somethin' I can't live life bein' broke Tried to hoop, but I was in the trap, and in love with them poles Then I figured I should rap, so I start pourin' out my soul Tryna make it, I hope they feel what I say so I can blow To be honest, I got too much pain been fucked up by these hoes And I got niggas fightin' the system, hope they get at least parole If I keep stayin' on my grind, I know the top where I'ma go Tryna make up for the times when I was hopeless, feelin' low Was eleven when I held my first gun Was a 380, two years later, I was Holdin Them for fun, but shit got crazy Same year, this shit got serious Them niggas shot at us, that was my first experience Mama told me to stay out the streets, but I wasn't tryin' to hear it Tory got locked up, was sendin' letters to him while he was They tried to lock my brother up, he moved to Cali on a bus Everybody goin' through it, we just wanna see the sun And I ain't never fear no nigga, I'll be waitin' when they come With that .45 on my lap, bitch, I'ma blow you with that strap And I don't play, you hit the hay, bitch, in that dirt, you take a nap And every hoe said they'll stay between my heart, they left a gap And I was in it every day, I'm just a product of the trap always hoped I'd be somethin' I can't live life bein' broke Tried to hoop, but I was in the trap and in love with them poles Then I figured I should rap, I start pourin' out my soul Tryna make it, I hope they feel what I say so I can blow To be honest, I got too much payment, f*ck the body hoes And I got niggas fightin' the system, hope they get at least parole If I keep stayin ' on my grind, I know the top where I'ma go Tryna make up for the times when I was hopeless, feelin' low Don't really f*ck with niggas, I be posted by myself Ain't worried about them comin', I'ma thug till I get left I'ma thug until my death Them niggas tryna claim my soul, they wanna see my family cryin Gone learn that fuckin' with me, you just jeopardizin' your mind All them days at Jason's house and we was thuggin' in the cliff Now I feel everything, chains between my brothers, it's a rift Used to play with beyblades, now we Totin ' metal Lettin it rip, 30, some shots up in the clip Put on my mask, get on your ass, pop out blast a bitch, then dip Won't get no pass, get left in grass, bitch, that dirt be by your lip And I get mad, I'm known to flash, so that lean, I gotta sip They did me bad up in the past, I feel that love shit just a myth I feel like I got a gift, mm I should've known that they would hurt me, it's my fault I can't even trip I'ma up from off the hip, mm Put a n***a on his pockets when I cock it, send him up like rocket ship
