[Hook: Akon] Sometimes I wonder Is it the place we live That make us a Gangsta, Make us a hustla... Creating the problem.. Sometimes I wonder Is it the place we live That make us a Gangsta, Make us a hustla... Creating the problem.. I gotta know right now [Verse 1: Dolla] I was raised in a broken home Daddy died when I was 5 Mama raises 3 kids on her own At the tender age of 23 against all odds I seen her baging up weed when them times got hard I'm on my knees, prayin to god Askin the lord why she gotta work 3 jobs It's the end of the month, we waiting on the 1st E.B.T. still comin but it could be worse Sometimes I sit and wonder if the way I was raised Is a reflection on the way I behave I'm stuck in my ways....just the child of the struggle Otherwise I woulda stayed outta trouble [Hook: Akon] Sometimes I wonder Is it the place we live That make us a Gangsta, Make us a hustla...
