Yeah my man Kool G Rap told me son do not look back
Chill up in the mansion with a fat glutious max, relax
When people act schoolin with facts, tell em
At this point in my life Im all about chillin
Ridin around in something sick and the dress flies
And twist, homies hermano just died I gotta let it ride
Thats what I got the public thinkin my nigga
Just cause I aint in the hood dont mean shit my nigga
I know who died before the body dropped
I know the guns that were used how much money the shooter got
Cause on the private yacht Im still within earshot of it all
The top ten list of the most grimiest guys of all time
Is all we talk when we talk of New York yall
Who to call and who to stay away from
Whose mothers address to have just to play it safe son
Women they lust up so quick to give em up
What cars and what trucks they drive in what towns
They spend the most time inwhen they grindin
I found out most of them are cowards they hidin
Behind reputations thats sour
Not going back

First thing that happen when you make a little paper
You think the Marriot is livin in a skyscraper
Till you come across some ever more flyer paper
Realize that five-star tellies are even greater
Terry-cloth robes, elegance, movie shit
Heated-up marble floors with jacuzzis in it
First-class flights, diamonds in your crucifixes
All those things you still aint really doin shit kid
Cause in reality Ill learn my salary
The way I flaunted it then would now embarrass me
It kinda make me wanna hate bling its a race thing
How they sell blacks to bootleg shit infact
Real millionaires spend 60 mil on paintings
Whores charge niggas with raping
Cause we come out doors of Maybach cars
Watch us make bets on race tracks smokin cigars
So they counter the laws to take whats ours
Bout 500K on a lawyer to beat the charge
So you cant stop us from making a billion dollars
Instead of goin back Im buying the projects
But Im not going back the hoods in me forever yall
But Im not going back

And of course yall know what Im not going back to
Those no friends and Im not going back to
Ten carat gold no Im never going back to
Sony if they dont have dough to going back to
Yall know that Im not going back to
Those liars who would..
（Not going back to）
Not help you if they could..
（Not going back to）
Coke on the stove in the hood..
Yall should know that Im not going back
The hoods in me forever yall
But Im not going back
