Doin’ Bad lyrics

[Intro: K-Rino]
What's up homey, long time no see, man
Yeah i'm chilling man, how you been doing?
That's good, good to see you, you looking good
How your mama been doing?
Real good man, tell her I said "Hi" man
Got much love to y'all, stay up all right, yeah

[Verse 1: K-Rino]
Man I'm doing bad, I'ma come real with it
It ain't struggle that make a man, it's how the man deal with it
Last days you gotta recognize the negative ways and turn from 'em
We all make mistakes G but the key is to learn from 'em
I've been blessed to come across a little paper
Made a lick and spent it quick then had lost a little paper
Appreciating what we got, we true hood scholars
Then sat in circles with my partners, pitching in change to scrape for 5 dollars
When ya leave home the world change all of a sudden
Full grown, you on your own partner, the world don't owe you nothing
I'm in this hole ducking and dodging the Grim Reaper
But the more I try to dig my way out it's getting deeper
I'm doin' bad baby

[Hook: Kim Broussard & K-Rino]
When everything around you is going wrong
(Man, I'm doin' bad up in the hood but I'm still hanging)
And hard times seems to last too long
(I gotta stop all that singing and start swinging)
Your old school homeboys dead and gone
(Man, I'm doin' bad up in the hood but I'm still hanging)
The game don't change keep pushing on
(Feel that, uh)
[Verse 2: K-Rino]
I'm tryna show love but people take the bad and provoke
If I give this bum a dollar will he eat it or smoke it?
Put speculations to the side and just go out on a limb
I'm visualizing myself one day being just like him
So I focus on my paper, got a mission to rise
And try to see life through the eyes of the poor and despised
'Cause they're my people man, I never turn my back on 'em
To my young hustlers walking these cuts with crack on 'em
It's another way, I hope you're feeling your brother
I know that cash be coming fast, but dog we killin each other
Making bad move, trusting fools, caught up in crosses
And you ain't different from the rest player, we all done took losses
Better shake it off 'cause a real man would accept
Responsibility and play it with the hand he was dealt
See my shrink done even ran out of questions to ask
Plus I'm holding family animosity from the past

[Hook: Kim Broussard & K-Rino]
When everything around you is going wrong
(We doin' bad up in this hood but I'm still hanging)
And hard times seems to last too long
(Time to stop all that singing and start swinging)
Your old school homeboys dead and gone
(Got my partners on the cut, man they still slanging)
The game don't change keep pushing on
(real out here, uh)
[Verse 3: K-Rino]
My paper playing out, really ain't too much in my stack
In a Lacc, clutching a gat, my stomach touching my back
The world is testing me, but at the same time my girl's stressing me
My actions be the reason why the Man ain't blessing me
Should I chase mine with skill or a gun on my waist line?
And face time, these questions go deep as a bass line
I'ma take it the whole nine or catch a case trying
Confess my sins hoping that God will erase mine
Gotta raise ya game level when the trouble appears
I got partners I been hanging with for 15 years
Yeah, I'm strong but I'm worn out and tired in the mind
'Cause water drippin on a rock can wear it down over time
Ya feel me? I ain't a baller, I'm a child of the ditch
Being broke is a test, but money is a trial for the rich
And to the ones that past on, G's we lost in the game
Y'all come to life every time somebody mention ya name

[Hook: Kim Broussard & K-Rino]
When everything around you is going wrong
(We doin' bad up in this hood but I'm still hanging)
And hard times seems to last too long
(Time to stop all that singing and start swinging)
Your old school homeboys dead and gone
(Got my partners on the cut, man they still slanging)
The game don't change keep pushing on
(real out here, uh)
[Break: K-Rino]
Throw 'em up for ya partner that done past away
Throw 'em up for that baby that was born today
Throw 'em up if ya hustling and making ya pay
Throw 'em up if ya feeling every word I say
It's like that

[Outro: K-Rino]
