Here's a little story
about somebody you know
Stuck in the hood thinkin'
that nobody can grow
Now I know when everybody
has the potential
To be anything that they wanted to be
and more
She dropped out of school,
then she started to roll
And if you're not from the city,
that means she started a hole
Suckin' and fuckin' every Tony,
Dick, and Joe
Just to eat a couple meals
and earn her pocket with dough
She got the one and the other,
they tried to keep it on her low
She stayed with her moms
even she didn't know
Until a couple of months,
then she started to show
Now she at the hospital
and she ready to blow
Havin' unprotected sex
like this shit was cool
Now the doctor comin' at her
with some terrible news
The baby got A's and
she does too
Now she's sad,
wondering what she gon' do
Dang
And the story goes
An d the story
goes
And the story goes
Here's another story
about somebody you know
Stuck in the hood thinking
that nobody can grow
Now knowing everybody has a potential
To be anything that they wanted to be
and more
He dropped out of school cause
he wanted to dole
Now the homie on the block
singin' Kokido
Now he's fresh to death
with a couple of hoes
Got himself a little whip
and a big bankroll
Now we all know the end of the
story too well
There's only two places to end up,
either dead or in jail
Skinny lil dude, younger body was frail
So the glock that he had, it was tightly held
But niggas been plottin'
and watchin' his move
Peep that he be alone while
his fam is school
Kick down the door,
told the younger don't move
Now his brain fragments in
the family room
And the story goes,
and the story goes,
an d the story goes
One more little story
about somebody you know
Stuck in the hood thinking
that nobody can grow
Not knowing everybody has the potential
To be anything that they wanted to be,
you know
Poor little kid getting bullied at school
Cause he walk around
the building with a hoe
He could try to tell the teacher
what are they gonna do
But suspend the bully,
he'll be back in a few
School was bad, but at home was worse
Parents always argue
when they're making it hurt
Everybody round the way,
donin' on his shirt
It's a hand -me -down,
but they know who had it first
He stayed to himself,
never bothered to show
But deep down inside,
he was ready to go
So he decided to grab
his little sis' jump rope
Tied it to the shower pole,
put his neck in the hole, dang
And the story goes
And the story goes...
