GAWDAMN Lyrics

You can take the man out the hood

But you cant take the hood up out the man

Deep in the suburbs trying to rob a minivan

We was breaking into cars we couldn't hotwire shit

We stole candy from stores and cds from little kids

I sat my nigga down with the master scheme

We had a fake gun tats drawn on with a sharpie

I said look the dude thinks that we are going to buy his whip

You go in and rob him Ill call him like where you is

We called from a payphone so he couldnt trace us

Buddy hopped on the bus meet me in the maples

We had it all planned out like it was written on a page

My buddy was underage he was cool taking the blame

I sat at home gawdamn it was the longest wait

Left at twelve should take three hours he came back around eight

I get a knock at the door hoping it aint five oh

Its my homie looking more sorry than when we was broke

I ask it go well everything go good man

He said naw bro im sorry couldnt get the minivan

I said damn oh well at least you safe and

He interrupted me and said I did get this volkswagen

Tossed me the keys since he almost crashed on the way here

Aint really stolen its relocated I know the laws were clear

Took that thing out for countless joy rides

Fuck it if we ride around for a week well be alright

Heart almost stopped when a cop pulled up at the lights

Hit his lights then he pulled around and made a right

We planned to abandon it but still kept the keys

I was walking by late night thinking one more ride for me

Almost hit the button on the car to unlock the door

Till I seen a news van a cop car and a truck to tow

Thinking to myself this is all too typical

If I was thirty minutes earlier I'd be a criminal
