[00:22.12]And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by
[00:25.17]And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives
[00:27.58]I never did cry, and even though I had
[00:30.33]pain in my heart, I was hopeless from the start
[00:32.73]They couldn't tell me nothin, they all tried to help to help me
[00:36.34]The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn't healthy
[00:38.39]I travelled places, caught cases, what a ill year
[00:41.14]I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here
[00:43.89]Never did like the police, let the whole world know
[00:46.44]Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down
[00:49.00]And facin me now, what do I do?

[01:33.93]These is the worst days, sometimes it hurts to pray
[01:36.68]And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth
[01:39.23]I know that ain't the truth, sometimes I look for proof
[01:41.84]I wonder if heaven got a ghetto, and if it does
[01:44.54]Does it matter if you blood or you cuz
[01:46.64]Remember how it was, the picnics and the parties in the projects
[01:49.55]Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies
