[Verse 2:]
Man the kids always getting lectured But what do you expect when they have no direction Father in jail, mother strung out No curfew, late nights, hung out Getting money on the zone, now its a problem, cause they selling white rocks, carrying a revolver Errbody gotta eat, somehow, someway Wishin they'll make it out, somehow someday They can put the drugs down, and pick up the books, Theres only a few good cops, cause most of them crooks Suppossed to protect and serve, but now they got the nerve They want criminals up off of the curb Its a cold as* world, especially for male, they filling up more than half of all jails The government got the world understood, I dedicate this to the ones who love the hood
[Chorus:]
