August Alsina - Hip-Hop Lyrics
[Verse 1]I came from drop tops and old school Chevy'sDope boys rollin' through, shittin' on ya heavyFifteens in the trunk beatin' down your blockOnly 4 years old when Biggie got shotI remember playing on the block, hanging on the blockYoung niggas slanging on the block, getting off them rocksNow we livin' better now, Coogi sweater nowWeather still getting colder, we could change the weather nowBut I...[Pre-Hook]Came up in criminal daysLiving these criminal ways, what can I sayHugging the block every dayGrindin' and making a wayAt night I pray for better daysThat it don't be the same tomorrowNow I celebrate my sorrows with this bottleAnd say[Hook] (x2)(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)I pray for more better days(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)I know that I can feel change[Verse 2]Everyday ain’t good but everyday ain’t badMama always said show thanks for what you haveBoy never forget to realize you're blessedThis cold world can rot you if you let itNow I'm out here tryna get it, really out here tryna get itAlways knew that I would make it, maybe it was so propheticCause I came from the bottom and the humblest beginningsFrom the youngest nigga grindin' to the youngest nigga wining[Pre-Hook] + [Hook] x2[Verse 3]'Fore you die you make your mark and reach new levelsWant the bread, want the diamonds and the bezelsAnd if these *****es that you want, have severalJust gotta know, lotta shit's temporaryIt won't last, no, no, it won't last, noOne minute it's still hereNext thing you know it's all goneThat's why I been on my grizzy outcheaLong as I grind, better days are near[Pre-Hook] + [Hook] x2
