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

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
