How I Got Over - The Roots[00:00:00]
Uh ha uh ha[00:00:03]
Out on the streets[00:00:08]
Where I grew up[00:00:10]
Ah hah[00:00:11]
First thing they teach us[00:00:12]
Not to give a f**k[00:00:13]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:00:16]
Someone has to care[00:00:19]
How I got over where the people come apart [00:00:23]
Don't nobody care about cha [00:00:27]
Only thing you got is God[00:00:29]
Out here in these streets[00:00:30]
If you get down on your luck[00:00:32]
You can stand up with a hand down[00:00:35]
But nobody give a f**k[00:00:37]
Out here in these streets[00:00:38]
Every man is for himself[00:00:40]
They ain't helpin' no one else [00:00:43]
It's a hazard to your health[00:00:44]
Livin' life in these cold streets[00:00:46]
(Hey)[00:00:49]
Whose worryin' 'bout cha babe[00:00:50]
When you wiln out[00:00:52]
Runnin' around in these streets[00:00:53]
Out on the streets where I grew up[00:00:55]
(How I got over)[00:00:58]
First thing they teach us not to give a f**k[00:00:59]
(How I got over)[00:01:02]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:01:03]
(How I got over)[00:01:05]
Someone has to care[00:01:07]
When you on the corners too much drama[00:01:10]
Livin' with the police right behind ja'[00:01:12]
It's always more than a slight reminda[00:01:14]
We livin' in a war zone like Rwanda[00:01:16]
Before I go back to the heavenly Fatha[00:01:18]
Pray for me if it ain't too much botha[00:01:20]
Whatever don't break me or make me stronga[00:01:22]
I feel like I can't take too much longa[00:01:23]
It's too much lyin' and too much fryin'[00:01:26]
I'm all cried out 'cause I grew up cryin'[00:01:27]
They all got a sales pitch I ain't buyin'[00:01:29]
They tryin' to convince me that I ain't tryin'[00:01:31]
We uninspired we unadmired[00:01:33]
And tired and sick of being sick and tired[00:01:35]
A living in the hood where the shots are fired[00:01:37]
We dyin' to live so to live we dyin' [00:01:39]
You just like I am[00:01:41]
Out on the streets[00:01:42]
(Uh)[00:01:44]
Where I grew up[00:01:44]
(How I got over)[00:01:45]
First thing they teach us not to give a f**k[00:01:46]
(How I got over)[00:01:49]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:01:50]
(Ya somebody somewhere)[00:01:52]
Someone has to care[00:01:54]
(Somebody's gotta care)[00:01:57]
And I swear it isn't fair in suspended animation[00:02:00]
We ain't tryin' to go nowhere out here in these streets[00:02:03]
We're so young and all alone[00:02:07]
We ain't even old enough to realize[00:02:09]
We're on our own[00:02:11]
Livin' life in these hard streets[00:02:13]
Where it's like they lost their mind[00:02:15]
Is there anyway to find are[00:02:17]
We runnin' out of time out here [00:02:19]
Listen hey who's worryin' about cha babe[00:02:21]
When you wiln out [00:02:26]
Runnin' 'round in these streets[00:02:28]
Out on the streets[00:02:29]
(Uh)[00:02:31]
Where I grew up[00:02:31]
(How I got over)[00:02:32]
First thing they teach us not to give a f**k[00:02:33]
(How I got over)[00:02:36]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:02:37]
(Ya somebody somewhere)[00:02:39]
Someone has to[00:02:42]
Out on the streets[00:02:45]
Where I grew up[00:02:47]
First thing they teach us not to give a f**k[00:02:49]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:02:53]
Someone has to[00:02:56]
Out on the streets[00:03:01]
Where I grew up[00:03:03]
First thing they teach us not to give a f**k[00:03:04]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:03:08]
Someone has to[00:03:12]
Out on the streets where I grew up[00:03:16]
First thing they teach us not to give a f**k[00:03:20]
That type of thinkin' can't get you nowhere[00:03:24]
Someone has to care[00:03:28]
