Lyrics

I ain't goin' back to my hood for shit

I refuse to return to my neighborhood for anything.

Heard they just killed neighborhood Nip

I heard news that someone from the neighborhood, possibly Nipsey Hussle, has been killed.

Popping pills 'til it make me sick (yeah)

I consume drugs until it makes me physically ill.

You show the hood love, they never show it back

Despite showing love to the neighborhood, it is not reciprocated.

If they shoot, I hope I know how to react

If there's a threat or danger, I hope I can react appropriately.

Know some people wanna see me on my back (on my back, yeah)

There are people who wish to see me fail or in a vulnerable position.


Got it on me everywhere I go, I gotta take a risk

I carry a weapon with me at all times, accepting the associated risks.

Paranoid, can't go without it

Due to paranoia, I cannot go without carrying a weapon.

All to do is hope my bro is 'bout it (mmm, yeah)

I can only hope that my friends are loyal and reliable.

Killing pain every time I'm on the dope (dope)

I use drugs to numb emotional pain.

Without it, I don't know how to cope (cope)

Without drugs, I struggle to cope with life's challenges.

Wanna pay my mama's bills, I don't want no smoke

I aspire to support my mother financially without encountering trouble.

My whole life, I did the things they said I can't

Throughout my life, I've achieved things others thought I couldn't.

Lots of pressure on me that you couldn't understand

I experience immense pressure that others may not comprehend.

Spend a million in the hood and you get killed for ten grand

Spending money in the neighborhood can lead to danger, even death.


I ain't goin' back to my hood for shit

I stand firm in my decision not to return to my neighborhood.

Heard they just killed neighborhood Nip (neighbor)

Reiteration of the news about the death of someone from the neighborhood.

Popping pills 'til it make me sick (yeah)

The consumption of drugs continues to have negative effects.

You show the hood love, they never show it back

Despite showing love to the neighborhood, it is not reciprocated.

If they shoot, I hope I know how to react

If there's a threat or danger, I hope I can react appropriately.

Know some people wanna see me on my back (yeah)

There are people who wish to see me fail or in a vulnerable position.


Back and forth from my mama, tryna move her out the Rex

Traveling between my current residence and my mother's, aiming to improve her living conditions.

Jack boys tried to pull it on me walking down the steps

Encountering an attempted robbery while walking down the steps.

Let 'em take my chain, know I'd die for my respect (yeah)

I would rather lose material possessions than compromise my self-respect.

Y'all don't feel my pain, I done seen death

Others may not understand the emotional pain I've been through.

Let the bullets rain, we gon' leave 'em wet

In the face of adversity, we will respond with force.

Put up a little change and I paid my debts

Having repaid some debts after acquiring financial success.

They got Bucksy in the cage and it got me pent

A friend named Bucksy is currently incarcerated, affecting me emotionally.

Pour another four, ain't got no way to vent (yeah)

Coping with emotional distress by consuming drugs.

When he come home, I'ma give my boy an M (Bucksy)

Planning to reward my incarcerated friend with a substantial gift upon his release.


I ain't goin' back to my hood for shit

I stand firm in my decision not to return to my neighborhood.

Heard they just killed neighborhood Nip (neighbor)

Reiteration of the news about the death of someone from the neighborhood.

Popping pills 'til it make me sick (sick)

The consumption of drugs continues to have negative effects.

You show the hood love, they never show it back

Despite showing love to the neighborhood, it is not reciprocated.

If they shoot, I hope I know how to react

If there's a threat or danger, I hope I can react appropriately.

Know some people wanna see me on my back (yeah)

There are people who wish to see me fail or in a vulnerable position.

I ain't goin' back to my hood for shit (For shit)

I stand firm in my decision not to return to my neighborhood.

Heard they just killed neighborhood Nip (neighbor)

Reiteration of the news about the death of someone from the neighborhood.

Popping pills 'til it make me sick (sick)

The consumption of drugs continues to have negative effects.

You show the hood love, they never show it back

Despite showing love to the neighborhood, it is not reciprocated.

If they shoot, I hope I know how to react

If there's a threat or danger, I hope I can react appropriately.

Know some people wanna see me on my back (on my back, on my back)

There are people who wish to see me fail or in a vulnerable position.
