Won't Change - YG

I done seen a lot

Ayy

My Blessings out to Judy, two of her sons died

So I thank the lord that I see the sun rise

Judy don’t cry, the pain is hard to hide

I know it’s rough mama, but keep hope alive

Pray for better days, to see them better days

I know the world is ugly, like FlavorFlav

But I’ve seen better, so it’ll get better

Do don’t even sweat it, like a thick sweater

And tell my nigga Juvvy Rick to keep his head high

I know it’s hard to see two of your bros die

Just heard shots by the dust towns

And turn around and see your brother jump outta Fresh towns

Before he fucked the world, 'cause it’s a cold bitch

With no panties on, and some wet lips

And she licked her lips and stared at me

And then the music and the lord saved me

You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the

boy

It won’t change, won’t change

And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain’t gon' do nothin'

It won’t change, won’t change, ohh

Dayumm, ain’t shit changed since I was little

My pops doing the same thing and I wish he wouldn’t

My grandmother died way back in '97

But she stayed over my head and she kept blessing

My brother in the pen, I can not stop stressing

85 to life, damn I think he got the message

Ay, but I keep your name floating on

TeeCee4800 and they know I’m on, huh

I got a lot of niggas hating on me

Cause they say a nigga eatin' while they stayin' hungry

I’ve been on the block forever, nigga, I ain’t phony

Bitch I do this shit for real, you can ask my homies

Ha, blue chucks and my blue strings

Blue Dickies, selling crack, bitch I gangbang

And like 2Pac, I don’t see a damn change

That’s why I pity Jay Kwon, that’s a damn shame

You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the

boy

It won’t change, won’t change

And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain’t gon' do nothin'

It won’t change, won’t change, ohh

Ugh, living life as a street nigga

Ever since the start like a beginner

Hungry nights when we couldn’t even eat dinner

Life’s a bitch so I fuck her, yeah I’m deep in her

Then they try to take the streets out of me

Nigga hit licks and cashed out like a lottery

Woke up one morning at gunpoint

How would you feel if the police run up in your joint?

Took my pops away for 'bout 3 years

Every night a nigga cry more than 3 tears

I was good though, nigga start gangbanging (Westside)

Hustle every day 'til I started maintaining

Classes got ditched and homies got killed

Hurt is the perfect word a nigga felt

Then, my nigga Ace pops died

Ever since then, we’ve been smoking like Popeyes

You can try to take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the

boy

It won’t change, won’t change

And they can try to take him out the hood but it ain’t gon' do nothin'

It won’t change, won’t change, ohh
