Ah yeah..(ah yeah)..it's real.
|
gonna put it down. all these little crime thangs,
|
homeless, the world is crazy bwoy
|
it's like this
|
it's the way it is
|
Heavy out there.. it's heavy.
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Was I really such a bad child that I deserved to get hit with boards
|
and whooped with extension cords?
|
did you forget that I was your creation,
|
and all I wanted from you all was love, hope, and motivation?
|
son, you're disrespectful and you're talking back,
|
get out my face, kicked me out the house
|
and wouldn't even let me plead my case.
|
now I'm homeless and I'm freezing like the morgue,
|
the only thing keepin me alive is the Lord
|
needless to say it's times like this I'd rather be locked up then
|
drinkin water out my hands and eatin out of garbage cans
|
can I come back home, huh could I?
|
Son, you're on your own, why should I?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Things'll never change, that's just the way it is
|
Nobody's even concerned
|
Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
|
when will we ever learn?
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Huh. three years from now, I think I'm gon be straight, (straight)
|
I put my name on the list for section 8
|
tried out for the army but I was flat footed,
|
didn't do no harm to me, cuz I was used to it
|
if I apply for some work, let's make a bet,
|
I'll get the nine
|
cuz I don't know about the internet
|
What do you think we need to do to change about this nation?
|
need to provide more jobs and better education
|
nuclear weapons (puh) should be stopping crimes,
|
already got enough to blow the world up
|
a thousand times
|
the birds and the bees, deadly disease,
|
teenage pregnancies, std's
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
A-wuh a wait a minute, I hear sirens
|
Oh that's the couple down the street
|
domestic violence
|
either them or the little girl in 306
|
she's always telling everyone that she gon slice her wrists
|
I guess that's the way it is in the life of sin
|
where you'll prolly end up dead, or in the pen
|
but my family ain't no better than the next
|
my auntie brenda turned her own sister in
|
for writing bad checks
|
and save folks try to hit you where it hurts
|
knowin they the biggest hypocrites in the church
|
we need to give our minds a bath and
|
do some scrubbin'
|
stop the hate and start the lovin'
|
|
[Chorus (4x)]
|
