The Dakotas, Pt. 2 Lyrics

I was raised in them Dakotas

Know some niggas that'll let it blaze in the Dakotas Heart froze cause in the Dakotas it's the coldest

Hearing signs every night in the Dakotas

I'm just trying to paint a picture of Dakotas

Cause when you signed it wasn't something that They told us

Applied some pressure but I knew they couldn't fold

Us

Real steppers, we some heavy living moguls shit my Granny like Hov in the Dakotas

I was raised in them Dakotas

And now we getting a little older

Starting to really feel that weight up on our Shoulders

Ain't have a dad to really help us with the molding

Played hella sports so we would lean up on our Coaches

Now I'm not tryna take no credit from the moms

Cause there ain't no better feeling than the feeling Of they palms

But if you can't send a boy to go and do a man's job

Why would you send a soft soul to go and toughen Up a heart?

Across the street my great granny had a crib

And right in front there was a bus stop

I would always take the 7 to the hoop spot

Cause Lil Deeder always good at the hoop spot

But while I'm sitting there waiting for the bus I Thought Brody was the Brody

So I screamed and yelled what's up and he Approached me

So I'm thinking that he's someone I can trust

He must've thought that he was Jordan cause he Came with the clutch and deep down I was shitting

Hoping, praying, he ain't up shit my life could've Ended if I said the wrong words

I just told him that a hoop don't got no problem with The bloods

He backpedaled real slow when he said it's all love

Shell shocked without a shot going off

Them situations really gave me street smarts

Shit I could've lost my mind before my heart

Yeah, lost my mind before my heart
