Nigga 4 Life Lyrics & Tabs by Dom Kennedy
Nigga 4 Life
guitar chords lyrics
Talking 'bout the ones I grew up with
Some Blood, some threw up Crip
Some just don't ever get found
You wouldn't know, cause you ain't never around
I'm heavy with vows
Cameras on and I'm ready to smile
And let the world see the ghetto with style
If I was a child, I hope I understand the future is now
You look good in a cap and a gown
He ain't no thug
He don't really wanna see no judge
He just can't keep his feet out the mud
You better watch yo' step
I got your back, you should watch yo' self
You can't make it out without no help
You better watch yo' step
I got your back, you should watch yo' self
You can't make it out without no help
We grew up proud
South Central man, we grew up wild
Leimert Park, I guess you up now
That's all I hope
You was down when we was all out broke
If the last time I see you is at the end of the night
You gon' be my nigga for life
I said we in this wrong world tryna' make things right
And you gon' be my nigga for life
Just know there's two of us on yo head if we get in a fight
That's why you my nigga for life
So if I don't make it home at the end of the night
You still gon' be my nigga for life
That's what they wanna do, that's what they wanna do
Because now, everybody is shell-shocked and we having trauma
We been having traumatic nights always
I wanna get away from it a lot
I tried to get away from it
That's what they taught me
The streets didn't teach me that Thug Life can never die
The world taught me that
I thought I could retire and move on
When I moved on to the so called "real world"
The "civilized" world
These motherfuckers is worse than the niggas in the streets!
West Side, we don't play no games
We getting money girl, it ain't no thang
We came up when they thought we would fail
I can't picture you just sitting in jail
Let's make that switch
I know a way we can all get rich
It's on paper and it's all legit
You can't make it if you never commit
My first song, shit, it wasn't a hit
You see I ain't quit
Now my money go as high as a fence
And I ain't never coming late on the rent
I see the moms drop they kids at the school each day
I hope they learn something new each day
Between the liquor stores, gun fights, gangstas, and cops
It's so hard to make it off these blocks
But you gon' raise a King, baby girl, just watch
Keep going, please
Don't ever stop
If the last time I see you is at the end of the night
You gon' be my nigga for life
I said we in this wrong world tryna' make things right
And you gon' be my nigga for life
Just know there's two of us on yo head if we get in a fight
That's why you my nigga for life
So if I don't make it home at the end of the night
You still gon' be my nigga for life
