I'll take you there

Now how can one get up off the spot
God damn raise a family get up off the block
Where the city dont love and they dont care
but I will take you there
(2X)

Verse 1: (Mannie)

tell the sister like blood
little brother a thug
and how to survive the cracks in the middle of the mud
im the OG gangsta VL in the truth
every nigga in my city kno how to hussle and shoot
my lil homey got killed over a key and a pound
so when i pump pump blood im a hold it down
his sister and his moms when i come around
showin love to the family when ya lose your ground

(Baby)

Wussup lil man had to write you a rap
just to let u know this nigga still got yo back
aint to much change still doin my shows
stayin away from fake niggas and busta ass hoes
but enough about me and everything in my world
congrats lil dad heard u had a lil girl
if theres anything they need and they ever in a jam
dont hesatate to ask yall call ya fam

(chorus 2X)

Verse 2 (mannie)

but can you see life roomin with no crack and pipe
and no weed to smoke no Gs in sight
and no cris to bust no wheels on bikes
and no pussy to fuck nobody to like
but can you see life roomin wit no money and goods
big money heavyweights wit nobody to cook
nobody to book
nobody to look
tryin to get back what motherfuckers they took

(baby)

all you see is that platinum shit
a ghetto nigga on stage grabbin his dick
but you dont know what i have seen
from the bitches to the riches to the triple beams
the project bricks the old school kicks
the early mornin capers and the late night flicks
but since i moved on things aint the same
i chose rap you chose the game

(chorus 2X)

verse 3 (mannie)

See your mom still strugglin you up in the pen
but mom just wonderin when the end gon end
when the guns gon stop from spinnin the bin
or when the hood gon block the dope in the pen
or when the light shot out you up in the park
the white trunk out your homey got marked
or every nigga that talk or rat in his heart
or every nigga that talk should die in the dark

(baby)

i never forgot you and what we did
and how we came up and where we lived
im seven forever turn coke to never
hard head til im dead until im bout my cheddar
gotta get my ends wanna push a benz
eat steak live great and raise my twins
i cant believe im talkin to ya now that ya gone
i luv ya bruh and this is my song

(chorus 2X)
(music fades to end)
