|
| 1991 can’t leave my house without packing my gun
|
| 'cus nowadays things ain’t so clean
|
| You either end up dope dealing or being a dope fiend
|
| Too much stress on a young man’s brain
|
| Smoking that dank to deal with the pain
|
| Much love for the brothers in the crew
|
| But who in the crew will be here in '92?
|
| Every damn day I see more
|
| Brothers getting killed or thrown in a trunk
|
| Dope fiend mothers sellin sex
|
| Welfare mother’s waiting for checks
|
| Pops in the bathroom shooting Hop
|
| Tell me, my brothers, where does it stop?
|
| I got to get a grip, can’t let it phase me
|
| I’m staying strong, 'cus times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy!
|
| Brothers search hard for that perfect life
|
| 5 bedroom home, 2 kids, and a wife
|
| Dog in the back by the swimming pool
|
| Everybody wants to be living cool
|
| But, to have these things you must have hope, mayn
|
| Can’t get wrapped up in the dope game
|
| It ain’t cool, you better stay far
|
| Life is much more than brains and a car
|
| Girls having babies before it’s time
|
| Getting pregnant and don’t have a dime
|
| THINK, baby, don’t be a fool
|
| You better wait until things get cool
|
| Keep a hat on a young man’s jimmy
|
| It’s safe sex, but you don’t hear me
|
| Wake up, you can’t be lazy
|
| 'Cus times are getting crazy
|
| Times are getting crazy…

| Children from the black minority
|
| Locked down in the Youth Authority
|
| Dewitt-Nelson, Washington Ridge
|
| These are places they lock down kids
|
| It ain’t right, it wasn’t meant to be
|
| We don’t belong in no penitentiary
|
| You got a talent, you better use it
|
| Pick up a pen and write some music
|
| And if not, boy, play sports
|
| Get the Hoop ball and hit the court
|
| The dope game just ain’t cool
|
| You better try and stay in school
|
| 'Cus times are getting crazy…
|
| Times are getting crazy |
