Welcome to the world of a kid named |
|
MikeyWho had only one reason to be hated be whitey |
|
Raised on a farm outside of |
|
South Bend |
|
Where they hated on him cause he was |
|
African American |
|
But three years later, |
|
Mikey was the town pride |
|
Basketball |
|
Mikey went and got himself a bull ride |
|
Earned his acceptance on the hardwood floor |
|
And that's something white |
|
America would never ignore |
|
Stop, hey, what's that sound |
|
Everybody look what's goin' down |
|
Stop, hey, what's that sound |
|
Everybody look what's goin' down |
|

|
You wanna know just what's goin' down |
|
What's goin' down |
|
I'll tell ya what's goin' down |
|
You wanna know just what's goin' down |
|
Take a look around |
|
Everything is comin' down |
|
Do you hear the subtle sounds |
|
Of our morality slippin' |
|
People on the go |
|
We'll be reapin' what we sow |
|
Yeah we say we want to know |
|
But I got my suspicions |
|
Welcome to the world of a girl named |
|
SusieSusie's only crime was that she was born a cutie |
|
Physically abused by her uncle and his friends |
|
Alcohol let 'em all leave the house with grins |
|
But Susie couldn't shake off the memories |
|
Forced to find her own kind of remedy |
|
A man-eater for the rest of her days |
|
Three kids, three men, no daddies by eleventh grade[CHORUS] |
|
What be goin' diggy down |
|
When you find what you lost |
|
But you lose what you found |
