Typical story of an Oakland girl Typical story heard around the world Mama on her wave, daddy up above After 14, I guess I´m mini tough Used to roll up on the block on the east side
I crack enough 40´s by the sea side Lose a nigga every week to a drive by Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes
I, I don´t mean, I don´t mean for it to sound so damn common I don´t mean, I don´t mean for it to sound like I´m jawsin´ But when I say it´s hard to open up to you It´s hard to get close to you I want it with everything in me To one day just say I´m in love with you
But I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, I´m not I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, hey I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, I´m not I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it (I´m not used to it)
One day, one day, one day One day, one day, one day
All single mothers in my family Don´t know if you´re really understanding me Never seen a nigga be a real man I never seen a nigga with a real plan And I still never been to a wedding And I just see my family stressing All the sons who grow up with no daddies in every generation Was all just raised on my granny but now
I, I don´t mean, I don´t mean for it to sound so damn common I don´t mean, I don´t mean for it to sound like I´m jawsin´
But when I say it´s hard to just side with you It´s hard to confide in you I want it with everything in me To one day just say that I ride with you
But I´m not used to it, I´m not use to it, I´m not I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, hey I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, I´m not I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it (I´m not used to it)
One day, one day, one day One day, one day, one day
Sometimes I pop off ´cause it´s all that I´m used to Sometimes I pop one cause I have to
Sometimes I run from all my problems Sometimes I make sure that I solve ´em I don´t mean, I don´t mean for it to sound so damn common I don´t mean, I don´t mean for it to sound so damn common But I´m not used to it
But I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, I am not (baby, yeah) I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, hey (I´m not used to it) I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it, I am not (baby. I´m sorry) I´m not used to it, I´m not used to it (I´m not, I´m not)
