Hip-Hop
August Alsina

I came from drop tops and old school Chevy's

Dope boys rollin' through, shittin' on ya heavy

Fifteens in the trunk beatin' down your block

Only 4 years old when Biggie got shot

I remember playing on the block, hanging on the block

Young niggas slanging on the block, getting off them rocks

Now we livin' better now, Coogi sweater now

Weather still getting colder, we could change the weather now

But I

Came up in criminal days

Living these criminal ways what can I say

Hugging the block every day

Grindin' and making a way and then I pray

For better days that it don't be the same tomorrow

Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle

And say

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I pray for more better days

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I know that I can feel change

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I know that I can feel change

Everyday ain't good but everyday ain't bad

Mama always said show thanks for what you have

Boy never forget to realize you're blessed

This cold world can rot you if you let it

Now I'm out here tryna get it, really out here tryna get it

Always knew that I would make it, maybe it was so prophetic

'Cause I came from the bottom and the humbleness beginnings

From the youngest nigga grindin' to the youngest nigga wining

Came up in criminal days

Living these criminal ways what can I say

Hugging the block every day

Grindin' and making a way and then I pray

For better days that it don't be the same tomorrow

Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle

And say

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I pray for more better days

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I know that I can feel change

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I pray for more better days

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I know that I can feel change

Before you die you make your mark and reach new levels

Want the bread, want the diamonds and the bezels

And if these bitches that you want, have several

Just gotta know, lotta shit's temporary

It won't last, no, no, it won't last, no

Meaning it til' here

Next thing you know it's all gone

That's why I been on my grizzy outchea

Long as I grind, better days are near

Came up in criminal days

Living these criminal ways what can I say

Hugging the block every day

Grindin' and making a way and then I pray

For better days that it don't be the same tomorrow

Now I celebrate my sorrows with this bottle

And say

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I pray for more better days

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I know that I can feel change

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I pray for more better days

(Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey, Hip-Hop, hey)

I know that I can feel change
