Just ’cause you’re in the ghetto doesn’t mean you can’t grow
And they say it’s the white man I should fear
But it’s my own kind doing all the killing here
I’d rather die like a man than live like a coward
Somebody help me, tell me where to go from here
‘Cause even thugs cry, but do the Lord care?
No more hesitation, each and every black male’s trapped
And they wonder why we suicidal running ’round strapped
Mr. Police, please try to see
That there’s a million motherfuckers stressin’ just like me
It ain’t about black or white, ’cause we human
I hope we see the light before it’s ruined
Exposed foes with my hocus-pocus flows, they froze
Now suckers idolize my chosen blows
Lord have mercy, father help us all
