(Intro)
Yeah, uh
Life in the hood ain’t no joke, man
Death, drugs, guns, crazy cars, crazy bikes
R.I.P. to Bishop, we keep you in our hearts
Why us, why us… let’s talk about it.
(Hook)
Why us? Why we gotta live like this?
Guns in the streets, take a life with a twist
Drugs in the veins, trying to make it out the mist
Crazy cars, bikes, but the pain still persists
Why us? Why we gotta see death every day?
R.I.P. to Bishop, now we gotta pray
Life in the hood, no love, just a price to pay
Why us? Why us? We still tryna find a way
(Verse 1)
Every corner, every block, the story’s the same
Drugs in the air, death in the game
Bishop gone too soon, now who we gon’ blame?
We out here runnin’ wild, tryna dodge the flame
Gunshots in the distance, we just tryna survive
Every day we pray, but we still stay alive
Momma cryin’ at the window, watchin’ us dive
Into the chaos, where it’s do or die
Bikes revvin’ loud, livin' fast, tryna catch the breeze
But the streets are cold, man, they don’t give no peace
From the block to the trap, we just tryna feast
But every move we make, the danger never cease
Bishop was the realest, never ran, never hid
Now we gotta carry his name, just like we did
Life in the hood, it ain’t no safe crib
We hustle every day, but the life we live is split
(Hook)
Why us? Why we gotta live like this?
Guns in the streets, take a life with a twist
Drugs in the veins, trying to make it out the mist
Crazy cars, bikes, but the pain still persists
Why us? Why we gotta see death every day?
R.I.P. to Bishop, now we gotta pray
Life in the hood, no love, just a price to pay
Why us? Why us? We still tryna find a way
(Verse 2)
Runnin’ with the pack, yeah, the streets are our fam
But the law’s always watchin’, they just wanna jam
Hustlin’ on the corner, with the weight in hand
Livin’ day to day like we’re stuck in quicksand
Bishop taught us game, how to hold the block down
Now we gotta do it right, don’t let his legacy drown
But death waits for no one, it'll take you out now
It's a cold world, we just tryin' to get off the ground
Ridin' bikes through the city, we ain't scared to die
But the devil’s always lurkin’, we can see it in the sky
Drugs pushin’ hard, tryin’ to numb the mind
But the pain, the loss, it’s always left behind
You don’t see it comin’, it’s a flash, then you gone
Another soul lost, man, it feels so wrong
We just keep movin’, stayin’ strong, holdin’ on
But every day’s a battle, tryin’ to find where we belong
(Bridge)
Why us? Why they gotta take the real ones?
Bishop was a king, but they pulled the gun
Life ain't fair, and the hood’s never done
We fight for every inch, but it’s like we always run
Why us? We don’t know the answer, but we keep our heads high
In the game of life, gotta hustle, gotta grind or die
We push through the struggle, let the pain fly by
But we still askin', why us, as we stare at the sky?
(Hook)
Why us? Why we gotta live like this?
Guns in the streets, take a life with a twist
Drugs in the veins, trying to make
