Welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey
|
Who had only one reason to be hated be whitey
|
Raised on a farm outside of South Bend
|
Where they hated on him cause he was African American
|
But three years later, Mikey was the town pride
|
Basketball Mikey went and got himself a full ride
|
Earned his acceptance on the hardwood floor
|
And that's something white America would never ignore
|
|
Stop, hey, what's that sound
|
Everybody look what's goin' down
|
Stop, hey, what's that sound
|
Everybody look what's goin' down
|
|
What's goin' down tell me what's goin' down
|
You wanna know just what's goin' down
|
What's goin' down I'll tell ya what's goin' down
|
You wanna know just what's goin' down
|
|
Take a look around
|
Everything is comin' down
|
Do you hear the subtle sounds
|
Of our morality slippin'
|
People on the go
|
We'll be reapin' what we sow
|
Yeah we say we want to know
|
But I got my suspicions
|
|
Welcome to the world of a girl named Susie
|
Susie's only crime was that she was born a cutie
|
Physically abused by her uncle and his friends
|
Alcohol let 'em all leave the house with grins
|
But Susie couldn't shake off the memories
|
Forced to find her own kind of remedy
|
A man-eater for the rest of her days
|
Three kids, three men, no daddies by eleventh grade
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
What be goin' diggy down
|
When you find what you lost
|
But you lose what you found
|
