[00:00:00] The Nation - B.o.B/Jake Lambo/Victoria Monét

[00:00:11] Baby don't you know

[00:00:14] Everything you do away from home

[00:00:16] Could leave me here alone

[00:00:19] So baby don't you go

[00:00:32] I saw a kid 12 years old with

[00:00:35] A pack of cigarettes and a glock

[00:00:36] 'Cause in this 'partments it was easy to cop ok

[00:00:39] Looking for a n**ga slipping yeah they easy to spot

[00:00:41] In the streets the enemies are just as evil as cops

[00:00:45] The only word he ever heard from his pops was

[00:00:47] If this the devil's world then who hangs out at the top

[00:00:49] He had *** dreams and scarface nightmares

[00:00:52] I thought to myself does anyone in this life care

[00:00:56] Growing too fast like his days are lightyears

[00:00:58] His mama says go to church you need a light prayer

[00:01:01] You think the streets need you well I need you right here

[00:01:04] You need to slow it down 'cause the streets don't fight fair

[00:01:06] For real baby don't you know

[00:01:09] Everything you do away from home

[00:01:12] Could leave me here alone

[00:01:15] So baby don't you go

[00:01:17] No no no no no no no

[00:01:29] It's easy to get in trouble in the place where I'm from

[00:01:31] N**gas lacking the education but be packing a gun

[00:01:34] I just kick it with the homies and be having some fun

[00:01:37] Mama keep calling

[00:01:38] I understand you protecting your son

[00:01:40] You found that I be smoking and

[00:01:41] I know it makes you mad

[00:01:43] And I know you see his trace scared

[00:01:44] Imma be just like my dad

[00:01:45] Scared I'm doing something bad scared

[00:01:47] I might end up dead

[00:01:48] Well look I chose another path

[00:01:49] So get those worries out your head

[00:01:51] Imma keep on doing it how I'm doing it

[00:01:55] Stay working hard making this music and

[00:01:58] Show you I got to get it I do

[00:01:59] They asking my motivation and I reply that it's you mama

[00:02:13] No no yeah no yeah no

[00:02:20] Yeah no yeah no yeah no

[00:02:25] A deadly trend that never ends

[00:02:27] City full of negligence pregnant pedestrians

[00:02:29] I used to think am I a prisoner or a resident

[00:02:32] They book us for possession but

[00:02:34] They keep shipping weapons in

[00:02:36] Either the glock shoots you or a cop do you

[00:02:38] They set the system up to

[00:02:39] Lock you up a lot sooner lot sooner

[00:02:41] Everything you try to do they try to out do you

[00:02:44] My mama said hallelujah 'cause I got a future

[00:02:46] I got a future after something newer

[00:02:49] They try to sell you bullsh*t because it sounds cooler

[00:02:51] And if you stand out from

[00:02:53] The crowd they label you a loser loser

[00:02:55] Don't throw your life away don't let your eyes fool you

[00:02:57] That's how they use you

[00:02:58] Baby don't you know

[00:03:01] Everything you do away from home

[00:03:04] Could leave me here alone

[00:03:06] So baby don't you go
