This the same place we try to move from but if you real youll never forget where you come from we had to hustle from sun up to no sun and the only job was to get the job done as far as momma go they kept us breathing cause most of us aint never had fathers we believed in and that church was there for one reason we all begged to god and thats the best place to meet him the fess aint never helped us and we aint never need em they never see potential so we only see the priests take me out the hood but the hood will never leave em the only thing that changes was the seasons believe me
