Left the city  my mama  she said don't come back home
These kids round killing each other  they lost their minds  they gone
They quitting school  making babies  and can barely read
Some gone on to their fall
Lord have mercy on them
1 2 3 4  your cousin's here round here selling dope
While they daddy  your uncle  is working round  strung out
Babies with babies  and they just keep burning

While their dreams go down the drain now

(While their dreams go down the drain now)
Are we really living  or just walking dead now
(Are we walking dead now )

Or dreaming of the hopes riding in the wings of angels

The way we live  the way we die
What a tragedy  I'm so terrified

Daydreamers please wake up
We can't sleep no more

Love  don't make no sense
Ask your neighbor

The winds have changed  it seems
That they've abandoned us
The truth hurts  and so does yesterday

What good is love  if it burns bright explosion flames

Are we really living  or just walking dead now

(Are we walking dead now )

Or dreaming of the hopes round in the wings of angels

The way we live  the way we die
What a tragedy  I'm so terrified

Daydreamers please wake up
We can't sleep no more

I've seen them shooting up funerals in their Sunday clothes (Ya )
And spending money on spinners  but won't pay college funds (Ya )
And all you gangers and bangers
Rolling dice and taking lives in a smoky dark
Lord have mercy on them (Ya )
Teacher  teacher  please reach those girls in them videos (Live your life)
The little girl's just broke  and Queens's confusing bling for soul
Danger  there's danger
When you take off your clothes
All your dreams go down the drain  girl

Are we really living  or just walking dead now

Or dreaming of the hopes round in the wings of angels

The way we live  the way we die
What a tragedy  I'm so terrified

Daydreamers please wake up
We can't sleep no more
