I'm a man I gotta take care of my family 
Fighting these precious in my life 
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis 
But these streets won't say a goodbye 

I can't say goodbye 
To the blocks 
Goodbye 
To the hood 
Goodbye 
To the streets (to my problems) 
I can't say goodbye 
To the hood 
Goodbye 
To the blocks 
Goodbye 
To the streets 
I can't say goodbye goodbye 
To the blocks 
Goodbye 
To the streets 
Goodbye 
To the hood 
I can't say goodbye 
To the hood 
Goodbye 
To the blocks 
Goodbye 
To the homies 

[VERSE - SNOOP DOGG] 
I quess it's [bad word]  you can't take the hood out a homeboy 
Plus, my hood just lost another homeboy 
Another one got life, and we don't know, if [bad word] home boy 
They in the street tell me "just leave it alone boy, 
Let them do them take care of your own boy" 
But I said back brake a bound, before I was drome boy 
You had dreams of being a dope boy 
Yeah, I [bad word]  from the po po 
Banging for the turth, late night huntin' 
Puttin' me in work, good [bad word] , [bad word]  shirt, 
Pay day, get the spot, got my hair cut first 
Made mom sick when I wouldn't go to church 
Yeah I live in the burbs, but I think 21st 
I know since I left that it's gotten much worse 
But I'd still be there, if I couldn't write a verse 
 [bad word] - CHARLIE WILSON] 
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family 
Fighting these precious in my life 
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis 
But these streets won't say a goodbye 

[VERSE - SNOOP DOGG] 
To the the blocks that raise me, the enemies and the homies that made 
Me, tough enough to hang on the corners that would moul me 
Critics wonder if I'm tryna be the old me, 
But if the thing the old me ever left, then they don't really know me, 
And don't know, we don't change, we just [bad word] OG, you always addicted 
To the life, you just don't OD, I owe the streets before they owe me 
Took me in when my moma didn't want me, to wild to be a child, and cops 
Not around now, all I got now is the homies, to teach me, how to be a man 
In what not, how to brake ounces in the grams ?? 
The reason I'm so nice with my hands ?? [bad word]  you think I forgot, man 
 [bad word] - CHARLIE WILSON] 
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family

I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammis 
But these streets won't say a goodbye 

[VERSE - SNOOP DOGG] 
Thank good every day that the boy could spit 
And all around the world they enjoyin' my [bad word] 
I know I got plenty more wars to get 
I got a, beautiful wife and some gorgeous kids 
But it wouldn't be right if I ignore the [bad word] 
They made me how I am, the music in the man 
Told me that I can for the world gave a [bad word] 
If it wasn't for my [bad word]  they sayin' stick to the plan 
Probably be a gun instead of a pen in my hand 
Probably be doin' a dub and the ?? with my man 
The say leaders streets but they don't really understand 
All I had was the block, when I didn't have fans 
Wrapped on the corners when I couldn't get spins 
All I had was the homies when I didn't have kids 
If it [bad word] down and my carrer was to end, I'm sure my name 
Would live.. in the streets 
 [bad word] - CHARLIE WILSON] 
I'm a man I gotta take care of my family 
Fighting these precious in my life 
I know my mind should be on shining and getting grammys 
But these streets won't say a goodbye 

I just can't say goodbye 

I can't say goodbye 
Goodbye 
Goodbye 
I can't say goodbye 
Goodbye 
Goodbye 
I can't say goodbye 
Goodbye 
Goodbye 
I can't say goodbye 
Goodbye 
Goodbye
