I Ain't Gone Under Yet |
| I’m just another voice from the street |
| and since it’s my choice, I feel that I must speak |
| now I know that you won’t listen to little me but I can’t rest unless I get this off my chest |
| see-- |
| the city’s my home the streets where I roam--but still I leave the drugs and |
| violence alone |
| And so i try to stay in the right frame of mind |
| although i know some people who might say that I’m |
| crazy and lazy for not breakin’out |
| but the city has soul and that’s what I’m about |
| I have an appetite that must be fed |
| no longer blind and being led |
| the of freedom that you can buy |
| my bank won’t lend me yet |
| but still i can get by--and even smile |
| so don’t judge me by the colour of my skin |
| my blood runs as deep as your runs red |
| which takes me out of the rap |
| Chorus: The choice is mine |
| with my joy and pain inside |
| and I ain’t gone under yet! |
| See bodies with souls living in the street |
| no one wants to live with nothing to eat |
| but to climb over livign people and fee that they brought in on themselves |
| cause they lazy or would rather steal is a mystery-- |
| so don’t judge me by the colour of my skin |
| my blood runs as deep as your runs red |
| which takes me out of the verse |
| Chorus: The choice is mine |
| with my joy and pain inside |
| and I ain’t gone under yet! |
| your under is my over i’ve never seen your over yet |
| but don’t forget |
| I ain’t gone under yet! |
| 4X |
| I don’t steal I don’t run tricks or scams |
| cause I’m a strong young woman yes I know who I am but sometimes it’s so hard to get by touch circumstatnces make me want to get high |
| but I don’t go too far cause that ain’t my style |
| so why don’t you come live next to me for a while. |
