Luyện nghe bài hát You Gotta Be...

I used to be a kid

in the Ghetto tell me
Is it a lie that I be a roughneck
And wear a frown to be down?
I kinda don't with bein' but you gotta be
(Tough, rough)

It's either you claimin' your hood or not a gee
about respect, I refuse to be the next guy
Fitted for a casket, either it or get blasted
I choose to gang bang, they give me a chrome-plated
Say, if you got any heart, go rob that Mini-Mart,

Now what I done did, damn I had to be the big man
They're lookin' at me shifty, better up 'fore I get slammed
Man, I'm not a thief, good grief and I don't act hard
But then they if I didn't do it, they was gonna gat, far as I could see
(I was be)

The next new member of the crew, 'cause 8 of them and 1 of me
I wanna do it, but I will
'Cause I still want to think that I'm hard and tough

you gotta be
(Rough)
'Cause you be
(Tough)
you gotta be
(Rough)
(I to be a stick-up kid)

Well, it's the Niggeroe again, right back in I left off
Still tryin' to make a decision, I go to prison if I don't step off
But if I rob this store, then I'm not sure
If I'm be considered as a gee and you gotta be
(Rough)

are temporary, homies are for life
So, I the deuce-deuce and go inside
I decide to in the Mini-Mart, don't nobody move
Start fillin' up the paper with loot, or I might shoot
But things didn't go as planned, this man had his own gun

We're toe to toe, eye to eye, so I figured why not
Pull the trigger? Put this nigga on the
It'll show that I had poise, then my boy'll know I'm
But I do it quick enough or he thought of it first
he blasted to the chest and now I'm restin' yellin', "Nurse"
And holdin' on to life or at least tryin' to hold on in a jailward cuffs

I had to be
(Rough)
'Cause you be
(Tough)
'Cause you be
(Rough)
(I to be a stick-up kid)

And everybody, gotta be rough, y'all
(I used to be a kid)
And everybody, everybody gotta be tough,
(I to be a stick-up kid)

Well, that's the end of my tale, but we know
Fools'll just forget I said and the story go
On and on, you're up to no good and back throwin' up your hood
And still doin' what you
Niggeroe, come together, 'cause divided we

So, stall that gang shit, stand up standin' in handcuffs
Really hard's you got loot and you ain't gotta shoot
Damn man, enough is

So, why you be
(Rough)
you gotta be
(Tough)
'Cause you be
(Rough)
(I to be a stick-up kid)
