"Woodcrest Manor III" lyrics

I'm from the Stone Moun'
Yeah, that's hometown
Still claim the A tho
They say I'm out of bounds

I'm from that East Side
But not the Little 5
'Cause the far East
The culture's still alive

The culture killin' us
Call it a genocide
When I was 25
Glad I was still alive

I'm tryna buy the hood
I'm gettin' penny wise
Gettin' my money up
Reverse gentrify

Now I'm back at Woodcrest Manor
But my friends don't live there no more
Just a memory

And then I did what I did
Blew the shit off the lid
And the rest was history

But I felt a breath of the wind
My beginning would end
If I didn't try to win as a man
I was 17 with the world in my hand

But I was still a kid
I was still a kid

Get it how we live
Get it how we live

I was still a kid
I was still a kid

Get it how we live
Get it how we live

A goddess calling me
And shawty texting me

I had a boo thang
Her name was Destiny

Not only had the sauce
I made the recipe

So when I left the block
My dogs left with me

And the hood was uncivilized—
Swishers & fireflies
Chillin' under porch light

I would kindredly memorize
Southern side
Fish fries
Duct tape fist fights

Me and my niggas, we made our own gang
But don't test if it's real
'Cause we'll get you right

I had a vision, the weed was so laced
They gave me some to chill
Said, "That'll sit you tight"

Rap battled by big bro
Only time I got to cuss
Without getting in trouble

Young man soon began to rumble and bubble
Bodyin' niggas in the high school halls of Tucker

Now I'm back at Woodcrest Manor
But my friends don't live there no more
Just a memory

And then I did what I did
Blew the shit off the lid
And the rest was history

But I felt a breath of the wind
My beginning would end
If I didn't try to win as a man
I was 17 with the world in my hand

But I was still a kid
I was still a kid

Get it how we live
Get it how we live

I was still a kid
I was still a kid

Get it how we live
Get it how we live
