Bob - The Nation Lyrics
[Hook: Victoria Monet]Baby, don't you knowEverything you do away from homeCould leave me here aloneSo baby don't you goNo! [x7][Verse 1: B.o.B.]I saw a kid 12 years old, with a pack of cigarettes and a GlockCause in this ‘partments it was easy to copLooking for a nigga slipping, yeah they easy to spotIn the streets the enemies are just as evil as copsThe only word he ever heard from his pops wasIf this the devil's world then who hangs out at the topHe had cocaine dreams, and Scarface nightmaresI thought to myself, does anyone in this life careGrowing too fast like his days are lightyearsHis mama says go to church, you need a light prayerYou think the streets need you? Well I need you right hereYou need to slow it down, cause the streets don't fight fairFor real![Hook: Victoria Monet]Baby, don't you knowEverything you do away from homeCould leave me here aloneSo baby don't you goNo! [x7][Verse 2: Jake Lambo]It's easy to get in trouble in the place where I'm fromNiggas lacking the education but be packing a gunI just kick it with the homies and be having some funMama keep calling, I understand you protecting your sonYou found that I be smoking and I know it makes you madAnd I know you see his trace, scared Imma be just like my dadScared I'm doing something bad, scared I might end up deadWell look I chose another path so get those worries out your headImma keep on doing it how I'm doing itStay working hard, making this music andShow you I got to get it, I doAnd they asking my motivation and I reply that it's you mama[Hook: Victoria Monet]Baby, don't you knowEverything you do away from homeCould leave me here aloneSo baby don't you goNo! [x7][Verse 3: B.o.B.]A deadly trend that never endsCity full of negligence, pregnant pedestriansI used to think am I a prisoner or a residentThey book us for possession but they keep shipping weapons inEither the Glock shoots you or a cop do youThey set the system up to lock you up a lot soonerEverything you try to do they try to out do youMy mama said hallelujah cause I got a futureI got a future after something newerThey try to sell you bullshit because it sounds coolerAnd if you stand out from the crowd they label you a loserDon't throw your life away, don't let your eyes fool youThat's how they use you[Hook: Victoria Monet]Baby, don't you knowEverything you do away from homeCould leave me here aloneSo baby don't you goNo! [x7]
