[Verse 1]

Here's a little story about somebody you know
Stuck in the hood thinking that nobody can grow
Not knowing everybody has the potential
To be anything that they wanted to be and mo'
She dropped out of school then she started to roll
And if you not from Da City that mean she started to hoe
Sucking and fucking every Tony, Dick, and Joe
Just to eat a couple of meals and line her pockets with doe
She got a bun in the oven and tried to keep it on the low
She stay with her moms even she didn't know
Until a couple of months, then she started to show
Now she at the hospital and she ready to blow
Having unprotected sex like the shit was cool
Now the doctor coming at her with some terrible news
The baby got AIDS and she does too
Now she sad, wondering what she gon' do, damn

And the story goes (4x)

[Verse 2]

Here's another story about somebody you know
Stuck in the hood thinking that nobody can grow
Not knowing everybody has the potential
To be anything that they wanted to be and mo'
He dropped out of school 'cause he wanted the doe
Now the homie on the block slanging coke and dope
Now he's fresh ta def with a couple of hoes
Got himself a little whip and a big bankroll
Now we all know the ending to this story too well
It's only two places to end up either dead or in jail
Skinny lil' dude youngin body was frail
So the Glock that he had it was tightly held
But niggas been plotting and watching his moves
Peeped that he be alone while his fam in school
Kicked down the door, told the youngin don't move
Now it's brain fragments in the family room, damn

[Verse 3]

One mo' little story about somebody you know
Stuck in the hood thinking that nobody can grow
Not knowing everybody has the potential
To be anything that they wanted to be and mo'
Poor lil' kid getting bullied in school
'cause he walk around the building with a hole in his shoe
He can try to tell the teacher, what are they gonna do
But suspend the bully, he'll be back in few
School was bad but at home was worse
Parents always arguing and making it hurt
Everybody 'round the way joning on his shirt
It's a hand-me down, but they know who had it first
He stayed to himself never bothered a soul
But deep down inside he was ready to go
So he decided to grab his lil' sis' jump rope
Tied it to the shower pole, put his neck in the hole, damn
