作曲 : Nesler I dont have a lot, but Im proud of what Ive got I cant complain cause I see people hangin round, on the city streets downtown Living on pocket change Therere times Ive been confused, felt that I was born to lose Oh but I survived Unlike the ones who pray and feel more than blessed each day To just be still alive Is there something we can do Seems the odds against survival are a million to one The only hope they have will die In the hearts of you and I if nothings ever done I cant save them by myself Oh but God forbid that I just turn my head And walk on by Dont let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than i Seems that old golden rule, that I learned back in school Has lost its shine Its a crying shame, and I wonder could the blame Be yours and mine Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough But the times were good cause no one ever found one single child shot down In the neighborhood Is there something we can do Seems the odds against survival are a million to one cause every day that passes by Another street gang victim dies And still theres nothing done I cant save them by myself Oh but God forbid that I just run away somewhere and hide From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than i Lord dont let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than i
