They Ask Me Lyrics - Hood Hop - J-kwon

Ya know, right now, whatever you smoke 

Right now 'cuz they ask me, and they ask me 

And they ask me, they ask me 

Now they ask me, How you know so much at 17 

What you mean? You never seen a disfuctional teen 

Mama cared for me, papa wasn't there for me 

Older brother sold dope and murph blurr for me 

Times got hard I had to get harder 

Let me take that back I had to get smarter 

16, I had me a daughter 

Hold up J-Kwon let's get shit in order 

Baby mama that's a whole another story 

Both too young, both too horney 

Cell phone rung, but I didn't anwser 

Check my voice mail, my grandma got cancer 

Now she layin' up in a old folks home 

When it seamed like yesterday she was home 

A month later stroke poped up her brain cells gone 

The last thing she said was let no one steer you wrong, I'm grown 

They ask me, do I believe in God 

So I ask them, did I defeat the odds? 

They ask me, do I believe in God 

So I ask them, did I defeat the odds? 

Shit fucked up but I can't turn away now 

Sold dope around the town, self esteem way down 

Jessie made me tougher, he boxed me up 

My mama put me in the system, she locked me up 

Now this around the time that we lived on Hanley 

When I think about it I don't know none of my family 

Except, for the immediate ones 

Tha's why I run to the streets and the jennings hand guns 

He don't talk much so everybody wanna fight him 

Every school I went to nobody liked him 

Never could it be right, I'd try sometimes 

So I chilled by myself and cry sometimes 

And all I ask from Gods to buy sometime 

Would I bring his name in it If I was lyin' 

Now look at what the fuck I did, done 

Terry Jones last son, this is a blessing, I'm grown 

They ask me, do I believe in God 

So I ask them, did I defeat the odds? 

They ask me, do I believe in God 

So I ask them, did I defeat the odds? 

Now they ask me, how you know so much at 17 

What you mean 

You never seen a disfuctional teen 

Times got harder I had to get harder 

Let me take that back I had to get smarter 

They ask me, do I believe in God 

So I ask them, did I defeat the odds? 

They ask me, do I believe in God 

So I ask them, did I defeat the odds?
