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 to be down?
I kinda don't with bein' but you gotta be
(Tough, rough)

It's either you your hood or you're not a gee
Forget respect, I refuse to be the next 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 Mini-Mart, nigga

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

The next new member of the crew, it's 8 of them and 1 of me
I don't wanna do it, but I
I still want folks to think that I'm hard 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, back in where I left off
Still tryin' to make a decision, I might go to if I don't step off
But if I don't rob this store, I'm not sure
If I'm gonna be considered as a gee and you be
(Rough)

Cuffs are temporary, homies are for
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 things didn't go as planned, 'cause man had his own gun

We're standin' toe to toe, eye to eye, so I why not
Pull the trigger? Put this nigga on the
It'll show that I had poise, my boy'll know I'm down
But I didn't do it quick enough or he thought of it
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)
you gotta be
(Rough)
(I used to be a kid)

And everybody, everybody gotta be rough,
(I used to be a kid)
And everybody, everybody gotta be tough,
(I used to be a kid)

Well, that's the end of my tale, but before we
Fools'll just forget what I and the story go
On and on, until you're up to no good and back up your hood
And still doin' you shouldn't
Niggeroe, come together, divided we fall

So, stall that gang shit, stand up quit standin' in
Really hard's when you got loot and you gotta shoot
man, enough is enough

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