Momma’s Hood Lyrics – Cordae

[Intro]
Yeah, uh, yeah
Yeah, uh

[Chorus]
I was riding through my momma's hood, rolling in Jeep
I ain't playing with you n!ggas
Boy, I'm playing for keeps
F**k you pu**y as* n!ggas tryna prey on the weak
I ain't talking too much, I only say what I mean
I bring the whole city out every time that I'm home
How you all about business
But don't be minding your own? (Yeah)
Lord forgive me for my sins
I'm just tryna atone, huh
I let that be well known, yeah

[Verse 1]
Daydreaming while I'm scheming on a text
Steady plotting as I'm thinking on the next
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Confident although I find myself compressed
Overthinking, worrying, I must confess
(Yeah, yeah, yеah, yeah)
Even though sometimеs I wish I was exaggerating
And all my problems were just figments of imagination
The smartest n!gga who had dropped out, f**k your graduation
I think that sh!t a f**king scam, somebody had to say it
Caught up in a matrix, sh!t I had to find a way out
Lost too many n!ggas, swear this sh!t is getting played out
Student loan forgiveness, all my debt was finally paid out
Appreciate this sh!t because the gutter I come straight out
The bottoms of bottoms, to the top of the tops
And that power washing van that I just bought for my pops
I talk to him every now and then, more often than not
We upgraded next time that I drop, but for now

[Chorus]
I was riding through my momma's hood, rolling in Jeep
I ain't playing with you n!ggas, boy, I'm playing for keeps
F**k these pu**y as* n!ggas tryna prey on the weak
I ain't talking too much, I only say what I mean
I bring the whole city out every time that I'm home
How you all about business but don't be minding your own?
Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna atone, huh
I let that be well known, yeah

[Verse 2]
I heard the cage bird sing and it's a beautiful sound
And it'd be so much f**king better, dog, if you was around
Why they had to kill my n!gga over a few little pounds?
When I got robbed in high school you even flew to the town
Couldn't really live with him, now I'm living without him
And you was just here with us listening to the new album
Told me that it was a classic, better than my last sh!t
We used to have hoop dreams and skip all our classes
And now my n!gga dead and gone
Shed these tears up in this song
Shoulda got 'em out, I right my wrong
Real n!ggas sh!t what I condone
Every n!gga got his flaws
Accounts that's filled with withdrawals
I paint pictures that's vivid because my feeling so raw
This sh!t I'm dealing with, uh, is no mistake
That I was put in this position just to open gates
The n!ggas with the least to offer the most to say
The funeral was too much, I couldn't show my face, instead

[Chorus]
I was riding through my momma's hood, rolling in Jeep
I ain't playing with you n!ggas, boy, I'm playing for keeps
F**k these pu**y as* n!ggas tryna prey on the weak
I ain't talking too much, I only say what I mean
I bring the whole city out every time that I'm home
How you all about business but don't be minding your own?
Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna atone, huh
I let that be well known, yeah

[Outro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
This song is dedicated to my dog Juwan Walls
They called him Pit
Who got killed last summer in a shootout
And um, we used to be on the basketball team together
Man, me and him
We always used to hoop together
And um, bro was the first
One getting money amongst us all, like
He was like fifteen, sixteen years old
And he-he always kept a bankroll on him, and uh
I just miss my dog, man
