| How Many, If Any, Really Know it’s a Game
|
| So Petty, Not Ready, They just wanted to play
|
| How Many, If Any, Really Know it’s a Game
|
| I can hear my teachers scream, Yassin!
|
| Remember when we were ten, and everything was pretend
|
| And nothing mattered we were playing in the Schoolyard
|
| Now that we’ve become men, everything is pretend
|
| I’m saying brother I don’t think I know who you are
|
| I see the games are still the same, we took it too far
|
| Boys with their toys that turn to weapons that go to War
|
| What is school to a fool? |
| What is Dumb when you’re young?
|
| They say it’s hard in the yard, you either jump or you run
|
| They gave a gun to your sons, told them go be a man
|
| You’re the sum of your funds, always fold in your hands
|
| When you shake with a snakes, but momma am I an animal? |
| Can’t I make some
|
| mistakes? |
| Without watching our wrongs
|
| With all the greed I can taste, I see the teachers and bullies
|
| Reaching to pull me away, I’m still praying at the Schoolyard
|
| Remember when we were ten, and everything was pretend
|
| And nothing mattered we were playing in the Schoolyard
|
| Now that I am a man, everything is pretend, I should have took the time to get
|
| to know who you are
|
| I see the games are still the same, we took it too far
|
| I pull your hair, you pull my cards
|
| I’m playing two hearts
|
| What is love to a dog? |
| Like Deceit to a thief
|
| She said its hard in the yard, they never hear when I speak
|
| So she built up a Guard, never trust in a man
|
| His decisions are flawed, he always thinks with a snake
|
| But mama, am I an animal? |
| Can’t I Make some some mistakes?
|
| Without cheating our women, on the eve of our wake
|
| She said don’t come in the box, dropping all of your rocks
|
| Calling me a queen? |
| You didn’t hear me scream? |
| In the schoolyard
|
| Remember when we were ten and everything was pretend
|
| And nothing mattered were were playing in the Schoolyard
|
| Now that I am a man, everything is pretend
|
| I’m saying brother I don’t think I know who you are
|
| I see the games are still the same, we took it too far
|
| Let’s leave this Earth in search of something on a new star
|
| Live and never Regret, Forgive but never forget, I am forever in debt
|
| For what I learned at the Schoolyard
|
| Now my world is a mess, and I just want to be blessed
|
| While I’m playing in the SchoolYard
|
| Now my world is a mess, I am forever in debt
|
| For What I learned in the SchoolYard
|
| I can hear my teachers scream, Yassin !!! |
