Derrick - Hooptie lyrics

[Intro - Lyrik Luciano] I don't see how a muhf**a could be from a city, live in a city And hate on a muf**a that's representing the city, and that Suppose to be the city you love, the city you from sh** don't make no muhf**in' sense If I love somethin', i'ma love anybody, you know what I'm sayin' Or anything that's representin' it especially if they doin' that sh** right That's fugazy [Chorus - Ramaj Eroc] I been ridin' thru the city in a hooptie I been ballin' since a youngin', like a n***a wanted college to recruit me Obviously it didn't happen, now I'm rappin', tryin' judge all of these groupies Yeahm I'm tryin' to put on for my city, I just hope a hating n***a don't shoot me, don't shoot me [Verse 1] As kid, I was told once, if you ain't got nothin' good to say then don't say sh** I was told by a ho once, if the girl you f**in' ain't wifey material, then watch out who you lay with Damn, she told me she knows by experience, she's not the girl to put trust in At that moment I became so curious, I asked her how do you find love then? She said there's no love in these streets & you know that When you get out the city my n***a don't go back [Chorus] But I'm still ridin' thru the city in my hooptie I been ballin' since a youngin', like a n***a wanted college to recruit me Obviously it didn't happen, now I'm rappin', tryin' judge all of these groupies Yeah I'm tryin' to put on for my city, I just hope a hating n***a don't shoot me, don't shoot me [Verse 2] Move in silence is the motto, dodging all of life's potholes I skkrt skrt skrtt when I dip, call me Nacho, When I take my shirt off I'm young Petey Pablo Like whaaattt, I took it way back, back when Eddy Curry was rookie Back before I started writing music, back before I, back before we could all see the truth without looking Demons follow me whenever I go, I pray that God is watching, to tell the truth, I don't pray that often Demons on my shoulder like Iago, I wish my angel could tell me everything God knows Yeah, One day I'ma find out, I told my girl I don't believe in side hoes I told her I do not believe in good luck, I told her that I really hate the 5-0 [Chorus] Because I know they watching while I'm ridin' in my hooptie They don't wanna see me ballin', they would hate to see a college recruit me And because it didn't happen, now I'm rappin, now they laughing , like this how the system gone do me I'm tryin to put on for my city, I just hope a f**in' cop don't shoot me Don't shoot me, yeah
