The Nation - Jake Lambo/B.o.B

Lyrics by：Jake Lambo

Composed by：Jake Lambo

Baby don't you know

Everything you do away from home

Could leave me here alone

So baby don't you go no

No no

No-o-o-oo

No no

No-o-o-oo

I saw a kid 12 years old with

A pack of cigarettes and a Glock

'Cause in this 'partments it was easy to cop

Looking for a n***a slipping yeah

They easy to spot

In the streets the enemies are just as evil as cops

The only word he ever heard from his pops was

If this the devil's world then who hangs out at the top

He had c*****e dreams and Scarface nightmares

I thought to myself does anyone in this life care

Growing too fast like his days are lightyears

His mama says go to church you need a light prayer

You think the streets need you

Well I need you right here

You need to slow it down

'Cause the streets don't fight fair

Baby don't you know

Everything you do away from home

Could leave me here alone

So baby don't you go no

No no

No-o-o-oo

No no

No-o-o-oo

It's easy to get in trouble

In the place where I'm from

N***as lacking the education

But be packing a gun

I just kick it with the homies

And be having some fun

Mama keep calling I understand

You protecting your son

You found that I be smoking and

I know it makes you mad

And I know you see his trace scared

Imma be just like my dad

Scared I'm doing something bad scared

I might end up dead

Well look I chose another path

So get those worries out your head

Imma keep on doing it how I'm doing it

Stay working hard making this music and

Show you I got to get it I do

They asking my motivation and

I reply that it's you mama

Baby don't you know

Everything you do away from home

Could leave me here alone

So baby don't you go no

No no

No-o-o-oo

No no

No-o-o-oo
