作词 : Blackman, Lodett | |
Ah yeah..(ah yeah)..it's real. | |
Gonna put it down. all these little crime thangs, | |
Homeless, the world is crazy bwoy | |
It's like this | |
It's the way it is | |
Heavy out there.. it's 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, you're disrespectful and you're talking back, | |
Get out my face, kicked me out the house | |
And wouldn't even let me plead my case. | |
Now i'm homeless and i'm freezing like the morgue, | |
The only thing keepin me alive is the lord | |
Needless to say it's times like this i'd 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, you're on your own, why should i? | |
Chorus | |
Things'll never change, that's just the way it is | |
Nobody's even concerned | |
Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is | |
When will we ever learn? | |
Verse 2 | |
Huh. three years from now, i think i'm gon be straight, (straight) | |
I put my name on the list for section 8 | |
Tried out for the army but i was flat footed, | |
Didn't do no harm to me, cuz i was used to it | |
If i apply for some work, let's make a bet, | |
I'll get the nine | |
Cuz i don't 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, std's | |
Chorus | |
Verse 3 | |
A-wuh a wait a minute, i hear sirens | |
Oh that's the couple down the street | |
Domestic violence | |
Either them or the little girl in 306 | |
She's always telling everyone that she gon slice her wrists | |
I guess that's the way it is in the life of sin | |
Where you'll prolly end up dead, or in the pen | |
But my family ain't 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) |
