Sincerely, Jane |
| Left the city, my mama, she said don’t come back home |
| These kids round killing each other, they lost their minds, they gone |
| They quitting school, making babies, and can barely read |
| Some gone on to their fall, Lord have mercy on them |
| 1,2,3,4, your cousin’s here round here selling dope |
| While they daddy, your uncle, is walkin' round, strung out |
| Babies with babies, and their tears keep burning |
| While their dreams go down the drain now |
| (While their dreams go down the drain now) |
| Are we really living, or just walking dead now? |
| (Are we walking dead now?) |
| Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels? |
| The way we live, the way we die |
| What a tragedy, I’m so terrified |
| Daydreamers please wake up |
| We can’t sleep no more |
| Love, don’t make no sense |
| Ask your neighbor |
| The winds have changed, it seems |
| That they’ve abandoned us |
| The truth hurts, and so does yesterday |
| What good is love, if it burns bright and explodes in flames |
| (I thought every living thing had love, but are) |
| Are we really living, or just walking dead now |
| (Are we walking dead now?) |
| Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels? |
| The way we live, the way we die |
| What a tragedy, I’m so terrified |
| Daydreamers please wake up |
| We can’t sleep no more |
| I’ve seen them shooting up funerals in their Sunday |
| Clothes (Ya!) |
| And spending money on spinners, but won’t pay college |
| Loans (Ya!) |
| And all you gangers and bangers |
| Rolling dice and taking lives in a smoky dark |
| Lord have mercy on them (Ya!) |
| Teacher, teacher, please reach those girls in them |
| Videos (Live your life) |
| The little girl’s just broke, and queens’s confusing |
| Bling for soul |
| Danger, there’s danger |
| When you take off your clothes |
| All your dreams go down the drain, girl |
| Are we really living, or just walking dead now |
| Or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels? |
| The way we live, the way we die |
| What a tragedy, I’m so terrified |
| Daydreamers please wake up |
| We can’t sleep no more |
| Lord have mercy |
| Have mercy |
| Have mercy |
| Lord have mercy |
| Are really living, or just walking dead now |
| Have mercy |
| We live, then we die |
| And we never know, thats why |
| So young, now we’re gone |
| Now are you gone? |
| We live, then we die |
| But never touch the sky |
| So young, now we’re gone |
| Now are you gone? |
| Its now time for you to come home, my dear |
| You’ve been gone long enough |
| Thank you |
| We must come, we must go! |
