| Have you been watchin' the bad boyz
|
| Hangin' around the schoolyard?
|
| Has anyone tried to figure out
|
| How it is they got so bitter and hard
|
| Does anyone have the faintest idea
|
| How we gonna explain
|
| Life to them so far
|
| They can’t hang out on the street
|
| They can’t hang out with the boyz
|
| Unless they’re packin' heat
|
| And ready to make some noise like the bad boyz
|
| Have you been watchin' the hatred
|
| Growing every day between the children?
|
| Have you been watchin' the races
|
| On each other’s cases and all suspicious?
|
| Somebody’s always in your face
|
| It’s almost like bein' raped
|
| You’re so defenseless
|
| You can’t hang out on the street
|
| You can’t hang out with the boyz
|
| Unless you’re packin' heat
|
| Ready to make some noise like the bad boyz
|
| Hope you get there in time
|
| Lose 'em all down the line
|
| Way down yonder on the plantation
|
| Today it’s called the 'hood and everyone’s restless
|
| They feel deserted and abandoned
|
| They do the best they can but life is ruthless
|
| If ya never did care about your neighbor
|
| Cuz their frightening behavior
|
| Get through to ya
|
| Don’t ya see they can’t hang out on the street
|
| They can’t hang out with the boyz
|
| Unless they’re packin' heat
|
| Ready to make some noise they’re the bad boyz
|
| They can’t hang out on the street
|
| They can’t hang out with the boyz
|
| Unless they’re packin' heat
|
| Ready to make some noise they’re the bad boyz
|
| They’re the bad boyz |
