lirik lagu luey northern - hood cycles
{verse 1}
you know what’s your problem?
you love her
you be tripping
you be cuffing
you be buying sh-t in store for these hoes
you been stuck
you be sending them good morning texts
n-gg- you ain’t thuggin
you ain’t cripping
you ain’t blooding
you been focused on your work
you been reading all them books
b-tch we focused on the turf
on the block
that’s out sh-t
we don’t own it buts ours
who the f-ck gone say it’s not?
(well the mayors and the cops)
f-ck the f-ck the haters and the ops!
n-gg- throw what you rep high
ain’t no other way of really trying to see this right
n-gg- you can get did like left eye
shoot your sh-t then throw you set
it’s really just a part of what we know and how we live
get the message from the older ones and show it to the kids
{hook}
it’s the cycle
show me
every thing in learned was from the homies
doing what we did to feel accepted
swear i’m not no b-tch you gotta know me
said it’s the cycle
show me
every thing we learned was from the og’s
17th and fourth i gotta rep it
at least that’s what the television told me
{verse 2}
(why you repping 17th and fourth?)
that’s my street b-tch
and i don’t own a d-mn thing on it
but that’s my defense
like playing cards flipped on they side
you gotta flip on them n-gg-s before they flip on you
try it
i wish you would i would die for the object
this and my pride
that sh-ts a sin in the bible
i’m not religious
that’s fine
cuz if i flinch it shows fear
if i show fear i might die
if ima die: i’ll be real
that makes no sense but i’m with it
and that sh-t didn’t even rhyme
go off with no rhyme or reason
and i done lied to my momma
my n-gg-s no lie or treason
she probably worried and sh-t
bout when i go where i be just as long as she don’t know better
i’ll still be posted with heathens
because the only thing scarier than me rosting with demons
or being choked by a k!ller
or shot from holstered policemen
or getting kicked out of school
and going home to a beating
is the perception of p-ssy
and what my homies would think of it
{hook}
it’s the cycle
show me
every thing in learned was from the homies
doing what we did to feel accepted
swear i’m not no b-tch you gotta know me
said it’s the cycle
show me
every thing we learned was from the og’s
17th and fourth i gotta rep it
at least that’s what the television told me
{verse 3}
ay its some n-gg-s on my corner i been scared of
but i wanna be just like em
mom im going out to play
sometimes i wonder what my life would be like
if i had got jumped in
said f-ck new york and starting banging in the a
by no way do i mean to glorify that life
i do want better for the kids
but i can’t help but doubt the path that i been taken
i just wonder is it worth
working places that i hate
wear people smiling in your face and you don’t know if they be faking
ain’t no code of honor
i always wanted a family
i never felt like i had one
and i just want to belong
like i just wanna be a shooter and rep some sh-t with my n-gg-s
cuz i been through so much anyway and i still feel alone
n-gg- i been in the service
i been to countries abroad
while thinking dammit its people as quick to k!ll me at home
its funny i pay they salary with my taxes
and people tell me to chill
but i’m a thug without this uniform on
and i still feel like a n-gg-
and i still get called a n-gg-
by preppy whites at these parties
but they be blaring my songs
i’m trying to hold it together
cuz i flip and beat they -ss
i’ll get arrested again and they’ll take my money
i’m pr-ne
to drinking now
and my father told me addictive behavior runs in the family
my momma used to drink i know he was a rolling stone
and my homies be telling me i need jesus to make it better
it’s hard for me to trust that a preach can hold a soul
p-ssy’s more trust worthy
in riverdale they teach yougings to k!ll and f-ck early
my n-gg- used to throw pitch forks and tuck burners
i swore that sh-t was the dopest
my therapist gave me closuer
he said the reason you think banging is the answer
is because of the dynamic that you grew up in
but you can change your life
you
have to consciously remind yourself of things that you already know
unlearning that which has been taught
it is the cycle
{luey and studio guest talk song to a close.}
