Homeboy |
| He was born on the wrong side |
| Where hopelessness breeds |
| Where pride is hard to come by |
| And violence fills a need |
| Lord, what can the future be |
| Lookin' from his point of view |
| 'cause here on these desperate streets |
| Better a short lived legend |
| Then a long life played for a fool |
| Homeboy wants to rule the hot town |
| And the innocent will fall |
| When the santa ana blows across the killin' ground |
| It sweeps away what mercy |
| Is left to be found |
| A child on a corner |
| An instrument of greed |
| Seduced before knowing |
| The harsh reality |
| Lord, what will the answer be |
| Is there nothing we can do |
| To save him on these desperate streets |
| Better a long life of tryin' |
| Than a short life playin' to lose |
