My Neighborhood by Karik Varela Lyrics

[Intro: Karik Varela]
Its not my type of area
Its not where Im from
Sometimes you gotta just
Make the best of what you got
Thats what they say right?

[Chorus: Karik Varela]
Man I'm in my neighborhood
Wish I could be walking round the streets
But it’s the hood, I never could
I got that white complexion
All up in my veins
In my blood
Not the gang man
Its hard to reframe man

[Verse 1: Karik Varela]
Almost let the gang life take me over
I don't want that
I just wanna bitch and a rover
Man I told ya
Bitch you cold as ice
From the corner where we threw the dice
To make a profit
It was either slingin dope or end up
In a coffin
[Chorus: Karik Varela]
Man I'm in my neighborhood
Wish I could be walking round the streets
But it’s the hood, I never could
I got that white complexion
All up in my veins
In my blood
Not the gang man
Its hard to reframe man

[Verse 2: Karik Varela]
Almost fell a victim to the street
Almost fell a victim to the drugs
Or tweakin thro the weeks
I'm sheets about my thoughts
Or gettin run up by the cop
Can't be bout no opps
It's time this stops
These deadly are always pointing
Fingers out here taking shots
Or throwing rocks
Its a shitty world we live in
Don't let nobody bring you down
