Doin Bad - K Rino

What’s up homey, long time no see, man

Yeah i’m chilling man, how you been doing?

That’s good, good to see you, you looking good

How your mama been doing?

Real good man, tell her I said «Hi» man

Got much love to y’all, stay up all right, yeah

Man I’m doing bad, I’ma come real with it

It ain’t struggle that make a man, it’s how the man deal with it

Last days you gotta recognize the negative ways and turn from 'em

We all make mistakes G but the key is to learn from 'em

I’ve been blessed to come across a little paper

Made a lick and spent it quick then had lost a little paper

Appreciating what we got, we true hood scholars

Then sat in circles with my partners, pitching in change to scrape for 5 dollars

When ya leave home the world change all of a sudden

Full grown, you on your own partner, the world don’t owe you nothing

I’m in this hole ducking and dodging the Grim Reaper

But the more I try to dig my way out it’s getting deeper

I’m doin' bad baby

When everything around you is going wrong

(Man, I’m doin' bad up in the hood but I’m still hanging)

And hard times seems to last too long

(I gotta stop all that singing and start swinging)

Your old school homeboys dead and gone

(Man, I’m doin' bad up in the hood but I’m still hanging)

The game don’t change keep pushing on

(Feel that, uh)

I’m tryna show love but people take the bad and provoke

If I give this bum a dollar will he eat it or smoke it?

Put speculations to the side and just go out on a limb

I’m visualizing myself one day being just like him

So I focus on my paper, got a mission to rise

And try to see life through the eyes of the poor and despised

'Cause they’re my people man, I never turn my back on 'em

To my young hustlers walking these cuts with crack on 'em

It’s another way, I hope you’re feeling your brother

I know that cash be coming fast, but dog we killin each other

Making bad move, trusting fools, caught up in crosses

And you ain’t different from the rest player, we all done took losses

Better shake it off 'cause a real man would accept

Responsibility and play it with the hand he was dealt

See my shrink done even ran out of questions to ask

Plus I’m holding family animosity from the past

When everything around you is going wrong

(We doin' bad up in this hood but I’m still hanging)

And hard times seems to last too long

(Time to stop all that singing and start swinging)

Your old school homeboys dead and gone

(Got my partners on the cut, man they still slanging)

The game don’t change keep pushing on

(real out here, uh)

My paper playing out, really ain’t too much in my stack

In a Lacc, clutching a gat, my stomach touching my back

The world is testing me, but at the same time my girl’s stressing me

My actions be the reason why the Man ain’t blessing me

Should I chase mine with skill or a gun on my waist line?

And face time, these questions go deep as a bass line

I’ma take it the whole nine or catch a case trying

Confess my sins hoping that God will erase mine

Gotta raise ya game level when the trouble appears

I got partners I been hanging with for 15 years

Yeah, I’m strong but I’m worn out and tired in the mind

'Cause water drippin on a rock can wear it down over time

Ya feel me?

I ain’t a baller, I’m a child of the ditch

Being broke is a test, but money is a trial for the rich

And to the ones that past on, G’s we lost in the game

Y’all come to life every time somebody mention ya name

When everything around you is going wrong

(We doin' bad up in this hood but I’m still hanging)

And hard times seems to last too long

(Time to stop all that singing and start swinging)

Your old school homeboys dead and gone

(Got my partners on the cut, man they still slanging)

The game don’t change keep pushing on

(real out here, uh)

Throw 'em up for ya partner that done past away

Throw 'em up for that baby that was born today

Throw 'em up if ya hustling and making ya pay

Throw 'em up if ya feeling every word I say

It’s like that
