lyrics

Travel Day
Roll out on a J
With a black valet
We stop near
The chicken spot
By the projects
She wait the same...
Face
Said I would call u someday
My heart lit a flame
Then I ride away (turn on the heat driver)

I'm from the hood
But I gotta leave some days
I'm from the hood
And I wanna drink French Champagne

grew up an 80's babe
Living round crack and aids
Parents went separate ways
I'm shelter and project raised

Plenty of peers have died
The schools taught us just fine
But math can only pass the time
standing on welfare lines

Rap
Panoramic cameras
Standing in my harem pants
Walking down this runway
Beauty never had a chance
I'm just Tryna make it
I just gotta make it
They don't wanna give me shit
I just got take it
Bronxdale Cypress ave
Troy Ave and Compton
Thirsty first peach tree
Brixton in london
I'm tatted a Rockstar
U seen me on tv
A Harlem Odb
Tryna get off ebt like

Hook
I'm from the hood
And I wanna leave some day
I'm from the hood
And wanna taste French champagne
