(Intro)
If that's the way that you want it,
Oh baby, you got it

If that's the way that you see it
Oh darling, so be it


(Verse)
While them city lights is gleaming
We run up in yo house when yo pretty wife is dreamin

And take er life for screamin
I pray to fight them demons (I pray)
But I don't think I could (could)

Revenge is so sweet when you're living in the hood
My resemblance is sure, tonight at death row
My mikes is retro, hi now let's go

I'm back but I ain't tryna be
These streets return to me
I only got a second left and I was never meant for that

100 ^!$$%s, step for step, that's the reaper
And I can hardly catch my breath, ho that's the reefer
Fiends is lurkin, lined up by the corner store

We in my house bed tryna cook up a quarter more
That's before Brooklyn Mike took his crew out to Baltimore (mix)
We never copped a product from here 'cause it costed more

But all in all me and my ^!$$%s was born to ball
Rest in peace, stacks were shot in this corridor
I only sold drugs to provide for my daughter more

So I put the money and family business before the law
I'm trapped, I can't ignore it all, it means more to yall
Some ^!$$%s drown when chasin them waterfalls


(Hook)
I'm back like I never left, I take another step

I'm in the heart of the ghetto ^!$$% with drugs and death
I'm back, back where it all started
In the heart of the hood, there's no place for the soft hearted, I'm back


(Verse)
This is what I gotta be,

Big money is my philosophy, not giving a $#&@, call it monogamy
I think logically when it come to them dollars
I got the %#@! in the bag but we ain't talkin colostomies,

I'm back, back where it all started
In the heart of the streets, there's no place for the soft hearted
I'm facing $$#ault charges, no misdemeanors

We stay family long as this dough splits between us
I'm closest to Venus, I'm tryin to be a star
They tryna hold me back, I tell em don't intravenous

My pain is documented 'cause even the doctors said that
I'm a G and I'mma die one, ^!$$%, do not forget it
I'm back lookin too familiar

On them same street corners where all them dudes a kill you
Even you're too familiar
Yea, your family is quick to get you

But rarely it's Smith & Wesson
Now hand me that clip and vest 'cause I'm back
Like I was here before,

I never shared a floor
Lay in bed, good with the D but I never cared to score
That was before, now I'm searchin for the glory

I do this for the streets and them ^!$$%s that came before me

(Hook x2)

I'm back like I never left, I take another step
I'm in the heart of the ghetto ^!$$% with drugs and death
I'm back, back where it all started

In the heart of the hood, there's no place for the soft hearted, I'm back

I'm back.
