Luyện nghe bài hát 3 Sides to a Story

[Joe as
My Derrick, I'm from Queens right there on Merrick
of honesty, loyalty, good merits
Gotta lil sister and my pops just
And I just home so my freedom I really cherish
Young when bagged me, seven in the can is torcher
And I just did that for
Odds was against me, in the second degree
Made it less 'cause I 'em a plea
That's the past, now a dude home tryna clean up his
When all kno me for is the past
And my minds always thinking how to pocket some
know if something ever sparked it'll cock it and blast
Now I'm tryna live straight and get my act
But my moms struggling, she scraps together
time ago, when I wasn't home she was cleaning my room
Cried when she a gat in the dresser
Said no child of woulda had dat, never!!!
But all the dirt I was doing
I like I hadda protect her, I hadda protect us
Stead of me crack forever
She rather be ina shop right, bags together
Passing endeavors, allow me to get work
me to get work
On apps they ask if you been to jail, like if I say yes you'll hire me
NIGGA LIE TO ME!!!
I lil sister that's nine
Plus moms is chillin, wit new dude I think she feeling
But he don't help with the and I'm back on the script
So we don't go broke, I'm back to this hammer that I hafta
Stash ya kno, I'm killin em, only nigga on the Ave. with
Only man in the house, I gotta in cash
And two chicks a month that mom get don't last
Lil Sally still she developing fast
Oh, you thinking the thing, it's a hell of a task
Then it clicked me, plain close, came to get me
But that I had mine on threaten to hit me
And I moved swiftly, said had a warrant
They knew about it all they they had an informant
I'm in this caged up cell
With the apes in jail, now I'm in this eight by twelve
See I to live right
But society ain't for niggaz to live right
Mommy just
Mommy make sure keep her shit tight
And I'll be home real soon, don't cry, iight

I know it might seem like it's all
But this is what it's like in the
I rep my set like you
But this is what it's in the hood
(repeat)

as Sally]
My names Sally, and I'm from Queens I'm not
Dad pasted away, remarried
I big bro, but he's in jail
Moms said for things that he used to sell
And I'm always step-dad, his names Beau
And theres some things about him my mom don't kno
And he says if I tell it won't be pretty
And I'm really of em, he's already hit me
He touches me I don't like it
And I ain't talking bout a hug or goodbye
I mean touch me places private
And he don't just touch he put inside it
He says the he does that, I'll start to like it
over my mouth so I'm quiet
Moms wit 'em 'cause our money is low
I'm sixteen but I'm like a twenty year old
And my moms in so she makes excuses
But she looks at me and sees and bruises
Why step gotta take me thru this
Help, somebody, I'm raped I cant do this
Nobody understands I'm
Get goosebumps a man come near me
Know how it feel to a man use you for a cushion
All the while and pushin
You try to him, he's getting bothered
You yell and you scream but he going harder
Trust me, it's summin you wanna be apart of
'cause even when it's over, life, it'll scare ya
my bro, he can tell I'm sad
Staring hard at my he can tell I'm fat
He can I'm mad
But step daddy touched me, fucked me, you that I can tell him that?
Beau called the on him, could I tell him that?
Yep, you'd agree so I keep it all to me
Baby on the way, and I'm not
And I kno his cause I used to be a virgin
Derrick says handle it, wipe my tears
He don't know, this is what it's for years
And it falls on def
Damn mommy please come home, please mommy don't us alone
Some are hard to keep
secrets make it hard to sleep
And sleep is the time I feel safe
Still the act haunts me, and I kno I'ma wake up step daddy on me

I know it might seem like all good
But this is what it's like in the
I rep my set you should
But this is it's like in the hood
(repeat)

as Beau]
My names Beau, chick named Pam that I live with
But she's always in church, religious
I son he was young he was gifted
Til a nigga killed him a before Christmas
Three shots close range a handgun
I knew I met Pam that it was Pam's son
I knew I pulled the Mill out harder
And went on a manhunt to kill they father
Derrick and my boy mutual friend
That put me on doing I gotta do for revenge
Derricks coming home now, and gonna get it
And I kno be lookin for me with a biscuit
Not to find, got them teks in handy, and
I'm in his having sex with him family
I got his mom on the bed and the
And I'm with his sister her candy
Now he kno it all
His friend prolly told em, and you can't hide nothing ina so small
But then it came Sunday, ain't hafta work
Just humped on Sally, in church
Derrick bust in, Beau froze
shit on his nose, Sally getting her clothes
Screams, "Get ready for your Beau"
And then he to his hip and let a few of 'em go
Cause packin but Sally starts gaspin
her stomach, I guess she started having contractions
Beau grabbed his, now they both got
Just gunnin, both ignoring the seed coming
Now in the crossfire, screams out stop
Holes in the wall, now the getting hott
Next 30 on the scene is the cops
Yellow tape up, now the scenes blocked
Barricades up, yep, you kno y'all
Ambulance there, streets full of cars
on the mega phone, "come down now"
But it all down somehow
Beau comes out, hands showing, carrying his
Derrick comes down, little Sally in his
Yep, to say, she was hit by a stray
Nope! Shots done ric-o-shade, take him away
And now some niggaz em
But it wasn't the guns that killed Sally, nah it was the niggaz wit em
When we gonna to treat our people sacred
Theres some type of way kid, all related
When we gonna grow and get rid of the
'cause this shit happens on a regular basis, this shit on a regular basis
This of shit happens everyday kidd

I it might seem like it's all good
But is what it's like in the hood
I rep my set you should
But this is it's like in the hood
(repeat)
