I Ain't Lyrics

I ain't from the hood, but I know what it's like to want to be out

But what you gone do when you get out?

I heard the place you play the most is where you lay

You can't live where you don't stay

And you can't stay where you don't live

I'm just keepin it real, I'm really bein foreal

I'll it keep a buck, I'll keep it a bill

I am not a gangster, but you won't get anywhere tryna test me

I'm filled with pain and anger, I hope it don't get the best of me

I been workin on the better me

Quiet as a mouse, but I'll make some noise for this cheese

Only rockin with my brothers, all them others envy

They can say they proud of me, but I can sense the jealousy

I ain't set no boundaries, they'll use me till I'm tapped out,

And I'll still think that they a friend of me

I tried jumpin off the porch, I scraped my knee

I mean that literally

I need someone to guide me, place my steps in front of me,

I ain't tryna meet the 6 feet under me

I just wanna live comfortably

I ain't from the hood, but I know what it's like to want to be out

But what you gone do when you get out?

I heard the place you play the most is where you lay

You can't live where you don't stay

And you can't stay where you don't live

I'm just keepin it real, I'm really bein foreal

I'll it keep a buck, I'll keep it a bill

I wrote this song while in the car

I'll record this in the dark

I might be timid at times, but I'll still show some heart

Who tf is on the guitar? That sh*t tuggin on my heart

I'm the only one that can do this, I've been chosen from the start

I've been playin my role, but I'll adapt to any part

I'm comin live straight out my city, it holds a place in my heart

I'm always sellin myself short, but I know I can go far

You can't quit before you start

Hope these words hit like a dart

It ain't a fire without a spark

Can't be afraid of you who are

Gotta have some traction, like new tires on a car

I want the best for everybody, that's why I'm raising the bar

I ain't gotta be from Dallas for you to know I'm a star

I ain't from the hood, but I know what it's like to want to be out

But what you gone do when you get out?

I heard the place you play the most is where you lay

You can't live where you don't stay

And you can't stay where you don't live

I'm just keepin it real, I'm really bein foreal

I'll it keep a buck, I'll keep it a bill
