Текст песни What We Did - Roy Woods

Mom can't pay the bills, that's what he take for
Auntie smoke that shit, that's what he sling for
She just needs a man, what she prays for
My demons in the can need it paid in full
They say your hair is power, so my braids long
We kill ourselves while they make us pay for it
They divide and separate, make us slave for it
Free game to the youth, that's what I'm here for
So hard, but he still made it out of B-More
So hard, but he still made it out of Georgia
So hard, but he still made it out of Chi-Town
So hard, but we still made it out of my town
Oh, oh
And you know I'm always for that street-
Thanks for tellin' me I'll never be-
They don't care 'cause they don't know 'bout street-
And when I die make you sure tell 'em I ain't quit
When I die, let them know what we did (Ooh, ooh)
When I die, when I die
When I die, let them know what we did
Know what we did
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let 'em know what we did, did
But you always gotta have it always
Don't matter who say, don't matter who say
I left my city, feel like I just split ways
Said I won't be back for a while, should've seen her face
What can I say? I can't even leave L.A
Oh, why they left the people down for? (Oh yeah)
We paying for our death and our downfall
All of them secrets they don't want you to know
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa-
And you know I'm always for that street-
Thanks for tellin' me I'll never be-
They don't care 'cause they don't know 'bout street-
And when I die, make you sure tell em' I ain't quit
When I die, let them know what we did (Ooh, ooh)
When I die, when I die
