Ah yeah..(ah yeah)..its real.
Gonna put it down. all these little crime thangs,
Homeless, the world is crazy bwoy
Its like this
Its the way it is
Heavy out there.. its heavy.
Verse 1
Was I really such a bad child that I deserved to get hit with boards
And whooped with extension cords?
Did you forget that I was your creation,
And all I wanted from you all was love, hope, and motivation?
Son, youre disrespectful and youre talking back,
Get out my face, kicked me out the house
And wouldnt even let me plead my case.
Now Im homeless and Im freezing like the morgue,
The only thing keepin me alive is the lord
Needless to say its times like this Id rather be locked up then
Drinkin water out my hands and eatin out of garbage cans
Can I come back home, huh could i?
Son, youre on your own, why should i?
Chorus
Thingsll never change, thats just the way it is
Nobodys even concerned
Some thingsll never change, thats just the way it is
When will we ever learn?
Verse 2
Huh. three years from now, I think Im gon be straight, (straight)
I put my name on the list for section 8
Tried out for the army but I was flat footed,
Didnt do no harm to me, cuz I was used to it
If I apply for some work, lets make a bet,
Ill get the nine
Cuz I dont know about the internet
What do you think we need to do to change about this nation?
Need to provide more jobs and better education
Nuclear weapons (puh) should be stopping crimes,
Already got enough to blow the world up
A thousand times
The birds and the bees, deadly disease,
Teenage pregnancies, stds
Chorus
Verse 3
A-wuh a wait a minute, I hear sirens
Oh thats the couple down the street
Domestic violence
Either them or the little girl in 306
Shes always telling everyone that she gon slice her wrists
I guess thats the way it is in the life of sin
Where youll prolly end up dead, or in the pen
But my family aint no better than the next
My auntie brenda turned her own sister in
For writing bad checks
And save folks try to hit you where it hurts
Knowin they the biggest hypocrites in the church
We need to give our minds a bath and
Do some scrubbin
Stop the hate and start the lovin
Chorus (4x)
