What We Did - Roy Woods

Mom can’t pay the bills, that’s what he take for

Auntie smoke that shit, that’s what he slang for

She just needs a man, what she prays for

My demons in the can need it paid in full

They say your hair is power, so my braids long

We kill ourselves while they make us pay for it

They divide and separate, make us slave for it

Free game to the youth, that’s what I’m here for

So hard, but he still made it out of B-More

So hard, but he still made it out of Georgia

So hard, but he still made it out of Chi-Town

So hard, but we still made it out of my town

Oh, oh

And you know I’m always for that street shit

Thanks for tellin' me I’ll never be shit

They don’t care 'cause they don’t know 'bout street shit

And when I die make sure you tell em' I ain’t quit

When I die, let them know what we did (Ooh, ooh)

When I die, when I die

When I die, let them know what we did

Know what we did

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Let 'em know what we did, did

But you always gotta have it always

Don’t matter who say, don’t matter who say

I left my city, feel like I just split ways

Said I won’t be back for a while, should’ve seen her face

What can I say?

I can’t even leave LA

Oh, why they let the people down for?

(Oh yeah)

We paying for our death and our downfall

All of them secrets they didn’t want you know

Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh woah

And you know I’m always for that street shit

Thanks for tellin' me I’ll never be shit

They don’t care 'cause they don’t know 'bout street shit

And when I die make sure you tell em' I ain’t quit

When I die, let them know what we did (Ooh, ooh)

When I die, when I die
