[Verse 1:]
|
I know some people might not understand me
|
I might not go number 1 or win a grammy
|
But uh
|
I done, done the lovin, I done, done the touchin
|
All the kissing and hugging baby you know its nothing
|
Everybody know that I can oh-oh
|
Ladies love it when I go oh-oh
|
|
[JD:]
|
You trying to stop all that?
|
|
[Avant:]

[Avant:]
|

|
Troubles of the world today
|
Its got me heated
|
Every word I'm about to say
|
I feel is needed
|
So let me talk about the things that's goin on (going on)
|
The war is over but the troops ain't home
|
I see the bullies flying, see the people dying
|
See the babies crying
|
Whats the reason
|
|
[JD:]
|
So who you supposed to be Public Enemy #1
|
Now next thing I know you're gonna be trying to tell me to put my guns down
|
|
[Avant:]
|
I'm trying to have a conversation with you fore you let these streets get you,
|
Show you a bigger picture than standing on this block
|
|
[JD:]
|
You wanna talk well where the -- at
|
Cause homie I don't need that
|
Stuff you talking what I'm doin ain't never gonna stop
|
You must been watching too much CNN
|
It's about them dividends
|
The hood ain't change I don't know where you been
|
-- everybody suffering, and its way more tougher than it was
|
And we don't never see nobody helping us
|
|
[Avant:]
|
Okay
|
That's so true
|
I can feel your pain
|
I'm not here to argue
|
Just put you up on game
|
But I guess you the type I can't tell a damn thing
|
Couple of dollars in your pocket and you start losing your brain
|
It's a trap
|
Got you hustling all through the night
|
It's a trap
|
They takin pictures in broad daylight
|
Don't let the system trick you into nothing else
|
Please
|
Be a man and stand for yourself
|
If you not rich by now you probably never get it
|
How can I get this -- to listen to what I'm sayin to him
|
Don't be a fool with that a€?I don't give a damn' attitude
|
Cause I know you got someone at home that you in love with
|
