Xxplosive / The Corner / Where I’m From (Mixed) Insight, Common, Dr. Dre & JAY-Z (Ft. Hittman, Kurupt, Nate Dogg & Six2)

[Intro: Common]
Memories on corners with the fo's and the mo's
Walk to the store for the rose, talking straightforward to hoes
Me— Memories on corners with the fo's and the mo's
Walk to the store for the rose, talking straightforward to hoes

[Verse 1: Common]
Memories on corners with the fo's and the mo's
Walk to the store for the rose, talking straightforward to hoes
Got uncles that smoke, and some put blow up they nose
To cope with they lows, the wind is cold and it blows
In they socks and their soles, niggas holding thеy rolls
Corners leave souls opеned and closed, hoping for mo'
With nowhere to go, niggas rolling in droves
They shoot the wrong way, 'cause they ain't knowin' they goals
The streets ain't safe 'cause they ain't knowing the code
By the foes I was told, either focus or fold
Got cousins with flows, hope they open some doors
So we can cop clothes and roll in a Rolls
Now I roll in a Olds with windows that don't roll
Down the roads where cars get broken and stole
These are the stories told by Stony and Cottage Grove
The world is cold, the block is hot as a stove on the corners

[Chorus: Kanye West]
I wish I could give you this feeling
I wish I could give this feeling, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
On the corners, niggas robbing, killing
Dying, just to make a living, huh?
