Where U Been
This goes out to all the
Young killers on the frontline
We ain't forgot about you, homie
Damn, you been away from the hood too long
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
Damn, you been away from the hood too long
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
Damn, you been away from the hood too long
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
I done been locked and jocked for
The shit I've been claimin'
All that killin' and the drug dealin'
Shit them niggas gamin'
I dumped for real, Hoop Town gettin' ill
Force me to chill
'cause they got shot and squeal
Punk ass niggas know the half on the ave
Through your town, and Downtown Newark
I mash
We call it thuggin'
I ain't never go all of a sudden
L like I ain't wantin' nothing
Then I just be frontin', buggin'
All my homies and my family
I put that on mother vein
Play by the summers it's goin' to be insanity
It ain't easy, to hold it in
When everybody around me is gettin' rich
Wonderin' where I been
Burned out and broke
Got me dead runnin' for two packs of boges
My whole life I've been choked
Since we graduated
Bet you thought your boy hadn't made it
But it seem the dream that I was chasin'
Damn here is the thing that left me faded
Can't complain, shit
At least I'm still livin'
Although trippin' of all the fun
That I was missin' while I was boy is in
Prison that's where I been
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
I reminisce on dangerous summers
We're just a thug nigga workin'
For drug dealers of neighborhoods
Run up by the age of 13
We was gunnin' and it was fun
To see the police runnin'
Niggas disappear when we comin' little
Nappy head shorty addicted to drinkin' 40's
My niggas is naughty
And y'all niggas is fuckin' corny
But you left me in the summer of '89
A very good year
Crack cocaine sales rose in every hood here
'Til you got knocked
Then locked down, bag of rocks & fat knot
You shot down
What they tell me is you livin' well
Stuck in your cell
Don't get another slip ticket
Drinkin' liquor in jail
Just as well, hell nigga, I bail
Whenever needed
There's weed inside of the cereal
Box so don't eat it
Where you been nigga? My homies wanna know
Where you been nigga?
(Alone) Where the fuck you been?
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
(Where you been nigga)
Damn, you been away from the hood too long
(My homies wanna know where you been)
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
Hey, to them niggas in jail cell
To my homies in the livin' hell
To the niggas haven't stayed down
To all the bustas that are comin' around
To all the love ones that's gone
To my niggas better stay strong
To all the hogs that's puttin' in work
To all the young riders doin' dirt haha
Damn, you been away from the hood too long
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
Damn, you been away from the hood too long
A lot of things have changed
Since you've been gone
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
The homies wanna know where you are
To all the young adolescent
Gettin' high stressin'
Can't act dumb don't ask questions
To all the other motherfuckers who
Runnin' blocks with they Glocks
And runnin' from the cops and
Blowin' up the very spot
To the hooriders that's on the streets
Lookin' for the police you out there creep
The real gang bangers slangin'
Thangs from the curb
My nigga love to earn gettin' ill
