Luyện nghe bài hát You Gotta Be...

I used to be a kid

Everybody in the Ghetto me
Is it a lie I must be a roughneck
And wear a frown just to be
I don't agree with bein' but you gotta be
(Tough, rough)

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

Now what I done did, damn I had to be the big man
lookin' at me shifty, better shut up 'fore I get slammed
Man, I'm not a thief, grief and I don't wanna 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 folks to think that I'm and tough

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

Well, it's the Niggeroe again, right back in where I off
Still tryin' to make a decision, I might go to prison if I step off
But if I don't rob this store, 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 grab the and go inside
I decide to prove in the Mini-Mart, don't nobody
Start fillin' up the paper with loot, or I might shoot
But didn't go as planned, 'cause this man had his own gun

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

I had to be
(Rough)
'Cause you be
(Tough)
'Cause you be
(Rough)
(I used to be a kid)

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

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

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