1991
|
Can't leave the house without packin my gun
|
Cause nowadays thangs ain't so clean
|
You're either dope-dealin or bein a fiend
|
Too much stress on a young man's brain
|
Smokin that dank to deal with the pain
|
Much love for the brothers in the crew
|
But who in the crew will be here in '92?
|
Every damn day I see funk
|
Brothers gettin killed, throwin in a trunk
|
Dopefiend mothers sellin sex
|
Welfare mothers waitin for checks
|
Pops in the bathroom shootin hop
|
Tell it my brother when does it stop
|
I gotta get a grip, can't let it faze me
|
I'm standin strong cause times are gettin crazy
|
|
Brothers search hard for that perfect life
|
Five-bedroom home, two kids and a wife
|
Dog in the back by the swimming pool
|
Everybody wants to be living cool
|
But to have these things you must have hope, mayne
|
Can't get wrapped up in the dope game
|
It ain't cool, you better stay far
|
Life is much more than rings and a car
|
Girls gettin pregnant before it's time
|
Havin babies and don't have a dime
|
Think baby, don't be a fool
|
You better wait till things get cool
|
Keep a hat for yo man's jimmy
|
Safe sex - but you don't hear me
|
Wake up, you can't be lazy
|
Cause times are gettin crazy
|
|
Children - from the black minority
|
Locked down in the Youth Authority
|
DeWitt Nelson, Washington Ridge
|
These are places they lock down kids
|
It ain't right, it wasn't meant to be
|
We don't belong in no penitentiary
|
You got a talent? You better use it
|
Pick up a pen and write some music
|
And if not, boy, play sports
|
Get to hoop-ballin', hit the courts
|
The dope game just ain't cool
|
You better try and stay in school
|
