[Chorus 2x]
|
(What about us?) What about my niggaz still out on the street?
|
(What about us?) What about my partners doin' time?
|
(What about us?) What about this arresting from the police?
|
(What about us?) What about my young thugs cry?
|
|
[Layzie]
|
Its for my, incarcerated niggaz
|
That stuck in the pin they coming home
|
Gotta stay strong cause you aint alone
|
Remember you always got love from home
|
They steal this pain and may not know it
|
I'm a boy and I gotta show it
|
I hear them cries from the babies
|
I wish they had a chance don't wanna blow it
|
But unemployed for all the little girls and boys
|
You got'sa, love your mom and daddy
|
And make them wonder why you give them ploys
|
Oh boy, its getting deep but more expensive then ever cheap
|
But what about that little nigga running the streets
|
Making a living through his beats
|
What about these whack ass politicians
|
They don't care if we live or die
|
What about that elderly barely breathing, gotta survive on SSI
|
They say America, it's the land of the free and home of the brave
|
Its mass hysteria, so bring your knees and hope we can fight
|
And if bury us, at least we can live as we believe
|
Dog aint ever gonna break our pride
|
Aint nothing you can do to keep us weak
|
And all of my soldiers come together
|
Get on your feet and get ready to bust
|
What about this war against terrorism (fuck that)
|
And what about this war against us
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Wish]
|
What about them thugs that's dead and gone
|
What about them thugs that aint even grown
|
What about them thugs that out here lost
|
And aint ever gonna find their way home
|
Suspicion got you furious, so grab your shit and listen up
|
Its violence and violence, it's the only way their gonna respect us
|
If its this system, in the ghetto back far to one place one time
|
Know we gone, how they sleep at night if they know they be lying
|
This shit we deal wit', we young black and fit less
|
Living in the ghetto to ghetto and ghetto
|
to ghetto cause ghetto is all we know
|
They beat us down for dumb shit, they lock us up for dumb shit
|
Find out that I'm innocent and still gotta fight for money they owe me
|
And they wonder why we riot in the damn streets
|
They can't hold us down we getting all that money
|
And watch what I tell ya, everybody wants some
|
how they get it they don't care
|
Try to kick it when you spittin' real smooth
|
But they listening in my business trying to fuck up my move
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bizzy]
|
Dead niggaz I've been to war
|
Been tall with shit I seen it all
|
Like soap operas from ghetto stars
|
I can tell when rappers getting bored, really
|
Sometimes she a bitch sometimes my lady
|
And times when niggaz die she help like I was a baby
|
The simplest things in life were always the best
|
Breathing you ass back inhaling when chronic in your chest
|
Hey somebody call my momma and help me one more time
|
Before I die my momma she carry me no comma
|
Niggaz bitches and drama
|
I recollect walking and stoppin'
|
Cops not even checking on me, juvenile delinquent
|
And baby y'all be respecting me
|
The B.O. it taking me in
|
Whether we saving fuck the last thing we did
|
And let the cops see all the shit that I did
|
Like spittin' on them foxies skied up
|
In the palm of my dick
|
This is the life that I love
|
This is the life that I live
|
And it's a life full of lust nigga
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Krayzie]
|
My partner called me after court
|
They said they got 25 to life just for slingin' some dope
|
They making some cheese just to feed their folks
|
And they like somebody won't go home
|
Its sad cause its sadder for us to get caught up by the po-po fo sho'
|
And what about our boys and young girls
|
In their wicked young world
|
Coming to school wit' heaters bustin' their teachers
|
Whatever happened to family and humanity we posses
|
What about our babies, that struggling in this mess, don't strees
|
Crooked coppers scaring the niggaz off in the hood
|
What about them niggaz that get blown off this block if they good
|
See most of the niggaz still on the street
|
Still struggling and hustlin' trying to get something eat
|
Some of them resting in piece and some w
|
