Rough Neighborhood Lyrics - Lil' Rob

Yeah 

I used to ride my bicicleta 

down the calles of my town 

oldies everyday,thats the way it was 

those were the days, the crazy ones 

a lot people died that summer 

its a bummer but shit happens 

or rob them in a day and see ambullences from a distance 

a place where you'd find seringes 

and the drug use was tremendous 

some say my town was surrendous 

until the drug use was off the hinges 

my boarder brothers would have to run fast, dash 

and hop the fences 

dont take that out of content homeboy, 

cus we're all gente through my lentes 

but the migra would creep down, and sweep hard 

and take them all back to TJ if they didnt have the green card 

the parke was the spot, it was tight 

and it was dealin in the street 

the heroine was a killer homeboy 

it had seven killings in a week 

it was a bad bash but they still had to have that, 

so it didnt stop me 

i'd come to the pad 

and sells all the merchandise til the jura cought'em 

we used to get shit for cheap homes, like 90% off 

give homie a little feria for his fix 

and then he sped off 

(chorus) 

I was brought up, (I was brought up) 

in a rough neighborhood, (in a rough neighborhood) 

Where you learn more in the streets, (where the shit goes down homes) 

than you learn in school 

I was brought up, (I was brought up) 

in a rough neighborhood, (in a rough neighborhood) 

where you learn more in the streets,(where you dont fuck around homes) 

than you learn in school, 

Verse 2 

and it was cool walking to school 

see the vatos and the gatos itchin and twitchin, scratchin 

havin a conversation with satin 

on the good one (on the good trip) 

I mean loaded off some good shit 

you might not believe it 

but ey homes this aint no bullshit 

my town was all brown man, 

the gente and the drogas 

people walking around fucked up, druged up, lookin all sucked up 

but thats where i was brought up 

where a lot of people shot up 

got caught up and locked up 

its not just sumthin that i thought up 

it was somthing that was happenin 

and i seen it with my own eyes eh 

la colonia, Eden Gardens Californ I A 

got a little older 

and my blood got a little colder 

started taggin up my plaquaso up on my barrio 

up on my folder 

me and homeboys we would walk the calles 

lookin like soldiers 

with the chip on their shoulders 

the size of bolders,little lokesters 

down to get down with the next town when they came around 

we be throwin chicasos, 

we be spittin balazos 

Chorus 

it wasnt long before i got mine 

see i got shot at the stop sign 

took a bala to the boca 

got blood all over my ropa 

i lost a couple of homies 

i got some friends up in the pin 

but when they get out 

it seems like they go right back in again 

it all started out with crazy situations 

juvinall hall and probation 

then get busted for violation 

that leaves a lifetime incarcaration 

but my town went through some changes 

one thing will never change 

it made me who i am 

and i remain to stay the same 

Chorus
