| I wandered along was pondering on
|
| The following day and the followring song
|
| Meanwhile on the other side of town
|
| On the mean streets some kids ride around
|
| I got home, some ideas jotted down
|
| Turned out the lights, went to sleep not a sound
|
| While they blowin in the wind living but no rules
|
| But the street’s, yo they living but no roots
|
| None of us is over given the whole truth
|
| Most of us is just driven on cold fuels
|
| Super leaded and super deaded who- where over
|
| For loot and credit we’re shootin' steady
|
| We’re heated up in the heat of the moment
|
| Speeded up just to beat his opponent
|
| Grim reaper’s in gym sneakers whith pimp features
|
| But we all got the same teachers
|
| North, south, west or eastside
|
| Meanwhile I dream I kick a freestyle going…
|
| Tick tock you don’t stop
|
| We got pick pockets corrupt cops
|
| We got petty thieves in baggy jeans
|
| Baggars and bootleggers and angry teens
|
| Politic tick tock you don’t stop
|
| We got shots smugglin' crack rock
|
| Conjunction junction what’s your function
|
| Constant Consumtion that’s your function
|
| Let me tell the world how i wish
|
| There could be something, anyting
|
| In this world for me…
|
| Flippin' motorolas, sippin' Coca-colas
|
| In a sunny resort with chickens on they shoulders
|
| Meanwhile on the rich side of town
|
| Kids got sweet dreams of street dreams
|
| Thanks to gangsta fairytales they smoke dank and marinate
|
| To music that their parents hate, but they can’t relate
|
| To anything that their parent say
|
| It’s all hypocrisy and lies, they react with hate
|
| Blowin' in the wind livin' by no rules
|
| Their parents are tired ain’t giving 'em no roots
|
| No guidance, they ain’t tellin the whole truth
|
| Kids captivated by the mike check 1,2
|
| Let me tell the world how i wish
|
| There could be somewhere, anywhere
|
| In this world for me…
|
| Meanwhile, back on my side of town
|
| I wake up tryin to spot what I jotted down
|
| Radio playin' loud with the rugged sound
|
| Interrupted by the news of a kid, and other kids that shot him down
|
| 26 years old just like me
|
| Aspirations and hopes just like me
|
| He was playin' a role just like me
|
| Now his story got told just slightly
|
| Now he’s packaged and sold just like me
|
| Well god rest his soul cus this might be
|
| Cynical but he fitted in a rhyme pattern
|
| In a time where rhymes matter more that a life shattered
|
| Meanwhile, on the other side of the world
|
| Same sun, moon and stars same things occur
|
| Some things better and some things worse
|
| Same people struggle, same visions are blurred
|
| By state supervision or state super prisoner
|
| Private owned, let’s break through for shizzle cus
|
| Meanwhile in the penal
|
| Kids locked down for life, thay ain’s kickin' freestyles going.
