Things We Go Through

[Lil Rob]

You gotta take time and enjoy life

Ay life is good man

Take a little time out sometimes

And smell the roses


[Verse 1:]

Ain't got no time for no bullshit

Gotta make moves quick

If you snooze then you lose it

Lay it down like my Chevrolet

After a day of play

After I juice it, get stupid

Hit the corner crooked

Don't remember how I took it

Don't remember how I made it

I remember being faded

You 'member when I had more than anticipated

Got intoxicated

I almost got incarcerated

Put my pedal to the metal

Hear me screechin' down the pavement

I'm Ese Lil Rob

And I'm back up on the block

In a rag top with a back drop not knowin' when to stop

So I'mma keep on rollin' till the wheels are fallin' off

And it might get a little crazy but nobody call the cops

We got it under control

We're on a gangster stroll

Watchin' out for the pigs on patrol

Cuz my homeboys on parole

My little homeboys on probation

Still gots a chance to change his life

But right now its incarceration that he's facin'


[Hook:]

These are things we do and go through

See we been there

We done that ain't nothing new

We been shot at we shot back

We done that too

We get drunk and act the fool

But I would do it again

-

These are things we do and go through

See we been there

We done that ain't nothing new

We been shot at we shot back

We done that too

And I put that on my tattoo

Said I would do it again


[Verse 2:]

Seen homegirl's Vato down the block

He told me Paco got shot

In the parking lot at the Taco Shop

The town's been hot

Been full of cops

Been full of placas

I told him I don't really understand it, homie

Bumpin 'This Is For La Raza'

Hit the switch like this

And chirp it into the street

Where I keep my cuete under my seat

Where I keep on the creep

Where we go to the grave with the secrets we keep

And I'mma always keep my word so that I'm able to sleep

I'm bumpin' the beat when I heard her body talkin' to me

I like what its sayin' and I love what I see

You're comin' with me

Her body's cold and comfortable to hold

So magically now she's sittin' in my passenger seat

We got it under control

We roll it low and so slow, I

Hit the leño and live my life in slow-mo

If I could do this one more

Time again just tell me when

So we could do it again


[Hook:]

These are things we do and go through

See we been there

We done that ain't nothing new

We been shot at we shot back

We done that too

We get drunk and act the fool

But I would do it again

[Verse 3:]

Seen one of my homeboys he's doin' good

He started life over

Another homeboy not so good

He slipped now life's over

Once supposed to be gettin' married in February

Now he's in a coffin being carried at the cemetery

Getting buried

Take a hit of the joint and keep it cherry

Cuz this shit is gettin' heavy

Like a Chevy on five-twenties

And that's pretty heavy

Tryna make that pretty penny

Where there's plenty

And I'll be damned if I ain't makin' any

Comin' out stronger than many, many

Bolder than most

We get sick with it

Sicker than my flows; fuckin' gross

A product of where I was brought up

It's the bomb like a Fleetline

Tag my name on the street sign

Throwin' up the peace sign

Lookin' for a feline

That's bad enough to be mine

Fuck yeah homeboy; she fine

So we gon' keep on rollin'

Even if I don't know where I'm goin'
