Rhymes

I was raised in a hood were they be banging
where the girls on my block be kicking it
so I grabbed these rhymes I be spiting
Got a pen and a pad in my hand getting it
now I have to keep it moving and never pick up slack
been gone for a minute but now I’m back
Oh that’s on my life its about to go down
I got to make this paper now
I’m just saying aint no question who I be in the L (LA)
where everybody out here got a story to tell
I kid a fool its pitiful come on what you say
I’m from the city that they call La
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes
Girls be out there hagging with these dudes
but I don't have the time
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes
Girls be out there hagging with these dudes
but I don't have the time
got to keep a pen and pad in my hand at all times
cause all I have to depend on is my rhymes
I have to move forward cause theres no looking back
and if I don't pull myself out this ditch
I'm going to be in trouble trapped
well I love the hood I aint going to lie
but I'm not going to let my life pass me by
if I get into trouble I'm on my own no one to help me out
yeah thats what I'm talking about its all on me
I have to look out for myself and thats how its suppose to be
Got a pen and pad so I can work on these rhymes

Girls be out there hagging with these dudes
but I don't have the time
Got a pen and pad in my hands at all times
Cause I’m not trying to be stuck in this life
Out here doing the best that I can
with this pen and pad in my hand
don’t want no drama in my life
so if you can’t keep it real I’m passing you by
