作曲 : Blueprint, RJD Two | |
Chorus: [x4] | |
That's the look of pain | |
You never want to see | |
When a ghetto youth finds out | |
His dreams my never be | |
Verse One: | |
I've seen crack sales in broad daylight on park benches | |
Old folks watch it from the windows in they kitchens | |
Convinced the police don't care and won't listen | |
Hopin' that they got some under covers takin' pictures | |
They ain't tryin' to be the ones that gotta save the system | |
For every five thugs, maybe one will go to prison | |
The other four are left to intimidate the witness | |
Go to trail against them and you might come up missin' | |
Lookin' at the odds it's a no brain decision | |
Unless you wanna jeopardize your family and children | |
And so they keep their eyes closed, continue feedin' kittens | |
And open up their blinds again, when the sale is finished | |
They hope that dope don't invade their fam | |
But how would you cope if your moms was smokin' grams? | |
See that's what I be thinkin' when I bump into my man | |
Gave him a bear hug and shook his cold hand | |
Asked about the future, if he had a plan | |
Aside from the hustlin' and corner store scams | |
He said, "Life is hard", I said, "I understand" | |
The weight of his home life was more than he could stand | |
The oldest of four seeds, he's only fifteen | |
But everybody lookin' towards him to make the cream | |
He said, enroll in college might help him to change things | |
Managin' a smile while he spoke so painfully | |
Then he started to choke up | |
As if he woke up | |
And realized that whatever he made his mom would smoke up | |
Chorus | |
Verse Two: | |
It's hard to stay optimistic as a ghetto youth | |
When you can't anticipate the days ahead of you | |
It's like, dope fiend next to you | |
Gangs keep stressin' you | |
Pharmacists operate the block makin' revenue | |
They never get caught cause they know the cops schedules | |
And every time you come home it's like your mom questions you | |
She don't wanna see you on the street corner gettin' loot | |
You told her that was something you would never do | |
You concentrate on school | |
Your grades exceptional | |
You visualize yourself as a black professional | |
Plus your girlfriend is in the same class as you | |
But it's drama when you walk her home after school | |
These knuckleheads on the block they be harassin' you | |
You say, "Chill" | |
That you just passin' through | |
You used to be cool with 'em but now they actin' new | |
You crack jokes but they gettin' more mad at you | |
Now they puttin' up their dukes so they can scrap with you | |
And when it's over | |
You leave 'em ALL black and blue | |
Now they talkin' about blastin' you | |
Now they got guns chasin' after you | |
You didn't think that they would pull it | |
But now you find yourself runnin' from the sound of stray bullets | |
You get closer to the crib and start smilin' | |
Felt somethin' in your back it was a bullet in a spinal column | |
Now you startin' to bleed | |
You blackin' out, it's gettin' harder to see | |
