| No jokin', I’m sleepin' with my eyes open
|
| Wanted for a homicide ride, the gun’s still smokin'
|
| Didn’t know what I was doin' but did it anyway
|
| Now the posse’s on my trail, they say I’m gonna pay (Run!)
|
| I had a gun, it’s mine and I packed it
|
| Out with my crew, the boys caught some static
|
| Me and this sucker punk went at it
|
| Bang! |
| Nine automatic
|
| Hunted Child
|
| I’m the Hunted Child
|
| (Sources say the assailant was 17-years old and lives in South-Central Los
|
| Angeles)
|
| Now I’m on a hideout tip cos they’re after me
|
| LAPD says they’re gonna capture me
|
| Was I crazy? |
| I guess I had to be
|
| Cos once you kill it’s instant catastrophe
|
| Your whole life is over (Through!)
|
| Forget about your girl your (Crew!)
|
| Nowhere to run, so what you gonna do?
|
| Be glad it’s me, homeboy, and not you
|
| The Hunted Child
|
| I’m the Hunted Child
|
| Hunted Child
|
| I’m the Hunted Child
|
| I’m only 17, I didn’t mean to kill, man
|
| But I was slangin' and bangin' for the thrill, man
|
| When they said (Kill!) I felt chill, man
|
| But once I pulled the trigger, boy, then things got ill, man
|
| My homeboys dipped out the back fast
|
| Left me alone in the echo of the gun blast
|
| Everybody saw my face, I didn’t wear a mask
|
| You wanna know my name? |
| Just ask
|
| The Hunted Child
|
| I’m the Hunted Child
|
| Hunted Child
|
| I’m the Hunted Child
|
| (The science of Capitalism which you teach to the youth on the streets today
|
| with the 'ends justifying the means' mentality ain’t happenin')
|
| I’m sweatin' heavy cos my face is on TV
|
| Everybody in this whole world’s after me
|
| Since I was young I never had a damned thing
|
| At Christmas time I’d hate to hear the bells ring
|
| Cos in the ghetto Santa ain’t got a dime
|
| Your mother’s standin' in the welfare line
|
| The way the youth survive is crime
|
| My life is over so I might as well speak my mind
|
| I killed a brother cos this system had me geared to kill
|
| Cos what I call home you call hell
|
| My ghetto quarters ain’t no better than a jail cell
|
| But there’s a message in this story that I’m tryna tell
|
| We’re just brothers on the streets killin' brothers
|
| This system has us geared to kill one another
|
| Sellin' dope to poison each other
|
| The plan of The Man, word to the mother
|
| But I’m a sucker cos I fell into their plan
|
| 187, I killed a brother man
|
| My life on Earth was hell, you understand?
|
| But when I die I’m goin' to hell again
|
| I’m the Hunted Child… |
