Concrete lyrics
by Ice Cube
(Intro)
This one goes out to all my n*ggas standin' on concrete
In South Central Los Angeles, where I’m from, n*gga
(Hook)
Concrete, you make me feel O.G
Concrete, you make me feel O.G
(Verse 1)
You know the hood is like, broken glass, everywhere
n*ggas in my neighborhood you know they just don't care
Can't take the bid, can’t take my boys
Got no money to move out guess I'll buy a Rolls Royce
n*ggas in the front room, b*tches in the back
Smokers in the alley with the baseball bat
I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
‘Cause them n*ggas up the street jacked me for my car
I hate to see blood on the concrete, I hate to see cuz on the concrete
I hate to see chalk on the concrete, I love to C-Walk on the concrete (West side!)
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
The world keeps spinnin' but the hood don't change
Muthaf*ckas still wanna blow out ya brains
Grandmama used to walk to the sto'
Now she roll around with a big 4-4
Wish a n*gga would f*ck with Ms. Benjamin
Sweet as cinnamon, blow you out ya Timberlands
If I talked back like Eminem, she woulda served a n*gga ‘bout ten of them
I hate to see blood on the concrete, I hate to see cuz on the concrete
I hate to see chalk on the concrete, I love to C-Walk on the concrete (West side!)
(Hook)
(Verse 3)
Unemployment at a record high
n*ggas shootin' each other like like they ready to die
Don't ask me ‘cause I don’t know why
But it’s like that so go testify
People of the world tryin' to make ends meet
And these young muthaf*ckas tryin’ to claim my street
You got to work hard if you want to compete
It's like that on this concrete, n*gga
I hate to see blood on the concrete, I hate to see cuz on the concrete
I hate to see chalk on the concrete, I love to C-Walk on the concrete (West side!)
(Hook)
