|
| Yo, how much pain can one-man take
|
| A woman and child step over crack valves
|
| Blood in the streets, thugs and the creeps
|
| Dilapidated playgrounds where kids play
|
| Broke swings and glass
|
| Dirt for grass, they run and they laugh
|
| Benz parked by the projects, Idle objects
|
| Kids stare hypnotized by the chrome glare
|
| You got dope fiends nodding on the fences
|
| Young brother smoke a blunt
|
| Selling two for fives on the benches
|
| Syringes all through the gutters and haze waters
|
| Police holding parts of these streets to blaze on us
|
| Drunks slain on the pavement hand in a fifth
|
| This ghetto life we living in, God damn it’s a bitch
|
| My brothers locked up in jail, box in a cell
|
| to the world is what I write in the mail
|
| Streets is infested with drugs, crips and bloods
|
| And every corner there’s a thug but ain’t no motherfucking love
|
| Word up
|

|
| Yo gray skies cover my city
|
| Black clouds and rain drops
|
| Well, when the pain stop?
|
| You got run down apartment rentals
|
| No heat, it’s cold in these streets
|
| Gets hungry, no food to eat
|
| Hear babies crying, young black men’s dying
|
| Single mothers giving up in the world, keep trying
|
| Gun shots ricochet on bricks from the building
|
| It’s sick, and this ain’t no place to raise children
|
| They rather go to war and buy guns for six billion
|
| Keep us in the hood right next to all the killing
|
| Murals painted on the walls, ghetto gravesites
|
| , like it’s coming to life
|
| When you walk past, say a prayer
|
| Pour out ya beer
|
| Reminisce all the time when ya nigga was here
|
| Son you never feel the pain till the shit hits home
|
| Son you never feel the pain till it’s one of your own
|
| Where’s the love?
|
| Yo I wanna say rest in peace to my nigga Jam Master Jay man
|
| Word up, it’s all love my nigga
|
| To all my niggas in the streets, the fallen soldiers
|
| Keep ya guns up niggas, word up
|
| See y’all niggas soon, man, I’m out
