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 don't agree with bein' but you gotta be
(Tough, rough)

It's either you claimin' your hood or not a gee
Forget respect, I refuse to be the next guy
for a casket, either with 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 look what I done did, 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 said if I do it, they was gonna gat, far as I could see
(I was be)

The new member of the crew, 'cause it's 8 of them and 1 of me
I don't wanna do it, but I
'Cause I still want folks to think I'm hard and tough

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

Well, it's the Niggeroe again, right back in where I 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, then I'm not
If I'm gonna be as a gee and you gotta be
(Rough)

Cuffs are temporary, are for life
So, I grab the and go inside
I decide to prove in the Mini-Mart, don't nobody
Start up the paper sack with loot, or I might shoot
But things didn't go as planned, 'cause man had his own gun

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

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

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

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

So, stall that gang shit, stand up quit in handcuffs
Really hard's when you got 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)
