I've been on this earth
for about a dime and a nickel
And ever since my birth
I've been too hard to handle.
These city streets have turned this baby face into stone
And now I just want to get away
Oh ho, get away
and be alone
Don't let the city get me
don't let the bullets hit me
don't let the dealers trick me
don't let the streets win me
don't let the corners own me
don't let my mother mourn me
don't let the hood take me
don't let this hood take me under
I've seen the light
except the face of my father
and I'ma need y'all to pray
pray for my mother
I've got sisters and brothers
that I probably walk by everyday
I can't help it
that's just a day
in the life of where I'm from
Don't let the city get me
don't let the bullets hit me
don't let the dealers trick me
don't let the streets win me
don't let the corners own me
don't let my mother mourn me
don't let the hood take me
don't let this hood take me under
Anybody out there like me
Don't you just wanna feel free
I hope it doesn't take me
before I reach my destiny
Don't let the city get me
don't let the bullets hit me
don't let the dealers trick me
don't let the streets win me
don't let the corners own me
don't let my mother mourn me
don't let the hood take me
don't let this hood take me under
Oh don't let them take me under
I'm begging you
Please Lord
Oh oooo
