[Verse 2: Quando Rondo]
They say the good die young where I'm from
They get caught [?]
Drop a bag, you know it's murder when we spinnin' out them rentals
40 thousand on some VS diamonds, go and ask the dental
Project houses, feelin' I'm the finest, right down pistol handles
I had to get it out the mud, up for so long I been starvin'
They ringing bells around the city from the projects to [?]
Leaky strapped up with that glizzy, shootouts in them apartments
New two door coupe, shoot out the roof, I might just pull up and park it
These n***as race all at the black and white like the dress on the nun
This that lil' dude from out the other side rolled up in my blunt
I swear I do this for my section 'cause I come from the slums
Swear if you play, you get slumped
Copped a new drac' plus a pump
[Chorus: Kahri 1k]
Don't ask us why we ride wit' our guns (Don't ask)
These lil' n***as, they dyin' where I'm from (They dyin')
And I refuse to be the next one (I swear)
All the oldheads livin' long (They is)
All the young n***as gone (Yeah, yeah)
But I'm here, I'm going strong, yeah
That's why we ride wit' our guns (Yeah, yeah)
These young n***as, they dyin' where I'm from (Where I'm from)
And I refuse to be the next one (Yeah)
All the oldheads livin' long (Livin' long)
All the young n***as gone (Gone)
But I'm here, I'm going strong, yeah

[Outro: Kahri 1k]
Don't ask us why we ride wit' our guns (Don't ask)
These lil' n***as, they dyin' where I'm from (They dyin')
And I refuse to be the next one (I swear)
All the oldheads livin' long (They is)
All the young n***as gone (Yeah, yeah)
But I'm here, I'm going strong, yeah
