Uh-huh (Yeah) Yo
|
It's this little shorty, knowhaI'mean
|
It's real (It's like it's rough)
|
What I'm supposed to do ya'know (It's real rough baby)
|
Yo, (Hold ya head, hold ya head dunn) Yeah
|
|
[Havoc]
|
It's bad enough I gotta grow up the fast way
|
These things going on got me thinkin they the last days
|
Tryin to come up, but shorty with a plan
|
Doin my best but can't see the promise in my land
|
These older cats wildin out over turf dog
|
I'm caught in the middle and it can't get worse
|
Just the other day I saw my homie wheeled off in a hearse
|
So used to it, it don't even hurt
|
My heart's numb, guess that's the Dunn Dunn
|
Can't speak on it, 'less you been where I come from
|
Stuck like bubble gum with no help from anyone
|
Moms got four others -- my four younger brothers
|
We're not supposed to do the tender age of ten
|
Dog, we're in the same boat I can't turn to my friends
|
Fore I lay me down to sleep pray to God that I'll see the next day
|
and do my best, hope these streets don't get me
|

[CHORUS x2: Havoc (Prodigy)]
|
|
(It's real) Keep that park open
|
Baby I just wanna play
|
(Uh-huh) Keep that park open
|
Baby I just wanna play
|
(No doubt) Keep that park open
|
Baby I just wanna play
|
(That's right) Keep that park open
|
Baby I just wanna play
|
|
[Prodigy]
|
Yo' baby, I'm strugglin for crumbs, survivin the unheard of
|
Growin up amongst the violence and drugs
|
Growin up against the world and such (Uh-huh)
|
We the young black future of the world and plus
|
We the team that'll crush anybody you bring
|
We the one that's gon' hold it down, it's no thing no sweat
|
It barely take no strength, you cowards ain't built for this
|
(And it's real) All we wanna do is hit the park
|
Play all day and night without a care in the world
|
But it's drama in my hood, sho' it's hard to chill
|
You gotta stay on point and sharp as hell
|
Dunn, we just wanna have fun
|
I just wanna be with my dawgs, cuz we all we got
|
Don't why it is, but that's how it is
|
I just wanna be with my clique cuz that's where I fit
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[Havoc]
|
(It's real) Where do I turn to, who do I console in?
|
I know I'm just a shorty but I want my wrist frozen nice
|
As I sat and thought many a nights
|
I could do the right thing or get read my rights
|
It's life, in the hood
|
Everything that look, it ain't
|
I stole base, now I'm runnin from home plate
|
Runnin from jake, sweat runnin down my face
|
And I can pay for every move I make
|
|
[Prodigy]
|
Just enjoy your youth, you only live once
|
Lil' dunn control yourself, learn discipline
|
And show some respect for others
|
Shit is serious on the street, you playin with fire
|
Concentrate on yourself and don't follow nobody
|
Hit them school books, so you ain't gotta borrow no money
|
These is jewels for you that you gon' wear forever
|
From us to y'all, now listen up to pa
|
|
[CHORUS x2]
|
|
[Woman singer]
|
Mothers child
|
Has to go and travel into the wild
|
Lord she had a heavenly sky
|
Sweet saint he Lord
|
Thank you God
|
[Repeat]
