|
Put on yout hat and coat and take |
|
A walk down the street |
|
I think you're bound to be surprised |
|
By all the bodies you meet |
|
The bowels of the melting pot |
|
Wreeks of shit |
|
While a guy does your windows |
|
With a sponge and his spit |
|
The whores on the highway try to forget |
|
That they jeopardized the lives of the guys they met |
|
Some will shoot you up and stuff |
|
You down a drain pipe hole |
|
Cause they wouldn't touch your body |
|
With a ten foot pole |
|
Stick em up, stick em up, empty the drawer |
|
Said the banger to the owner of the liquor store |
|
I was purchasing some wine |
|
When I heard the pops and a patron started screaming"Someone call the cops" |
|
The cops were called, and we were told to wait |
|
But the death toll rose because the cops were late |
|
The banger ran out,and he was gone in a flash |
|
He got away with the murder, |
|
And out with the cash |
|
The truth hurts, the truth hurts, |
|
And fairy tales are written like a book |
|
The truth hurts, the truth hurts |
|
Just open your eyes and take a look, son |
|
Let's take a little trip to the lower side |
|
There's a junkie in a place where the freaks reside |
|
He shoots the shit, and gets the rent paid free |
|
With government checks and lots of |
|
AZTHe sees his kids about once a week |
|
And his wife's on her death bed as we speak |
|
She prays for little ones everyday |
|
But the boy is infected and the girl's |
|
O.K.Jackin' in the city while the city sleeps |
|
You play lor fun and they play for keeps |
|
There's a thief in the hood just waitin to pop |
|
And a kid in a |
|
Cadillac tryin to cop |
|
Herb and couple vials of coke |
|
And he don't sweat it out cause the fine's a joke |
|
In a matter of time it was a real done deal |
|
It's back to the burbs because the shit ain't real |
|
But the truth hurts, the truth hurts, |
|
And fairy tales are written like a book |
|
The truth hurts, the truth hurts,just open your eyes and take a look, son |
