Verse 1
in abundance
Dirty guns and, the pungent smell,
of those who fell
Bodies, like commodoties, ready to sell
Take you around the world for
a hundred dollars
Meanwhile, a little baby hollers
Hopin that she doesn't follow
in her mother's footsteps
of drugs and sex, every day,
more thugs to arrest
gets out alive
The trick is to see, how long,
you can survive
We deprived of our basic needs
Sufferin at the hands of a racist greed
In the black wo- man's
where I place my seed
When they grow, will they know,
that I tried to make it better for them?
Will I be dead or inside of a
federal pen?
Verse 2
walk through the
valley of dry bones
Death from, New York to Cali,
the shit hits homes
Niggaz with 40 calibers,
that'll split ya bone
Other niggaz with silencers,
with gats that's chrome
It seems the violence only
escalates, I'm concerned
When the slug penetrate your flesh,
see it burn
Livin with the constant threat,
that it could be yo' turn
F
Am
niggaz just won't learn
Verse 3
He don't even know the type
of problems he gon' have
He facin obstacles, greed,
it's the large city need
Remember when he ain't smoke weed
Jail hold's raw, spittin seed
In the Polo Grounds,
in 89 we dodged steed
All the slaves ain't freed
Make him the captain,
Em
F
muh'fucker we'll lead
Em
Am
Shoot him in the chest
muh'fucker will bleed
Cause way he's goin he's
gon' need God- speed
I seen a man die,
gettin shot in the eye
And then leave this earth with a sigh
I wish I had a dollar for every funeral parlor
that I been to, and I ain't tryin to end to
I've been a friend to a lot of dead niggaz
Am
Now
Verse 4
Em
F
little
Am
shorties don't have a chance
Cause hard times be comin
down like a avalanche
We play the streets until we
carried on a ambulance
Day by day we be the victims
of the circumstance
See the poison has us movin at a steady flow
It filters through your radio and your video
You ever once stop to think
and wonder why it's so?
Em
F
We don't know cause we blinded by the fog of 'dro,
We dedicate our whole careers
to save our dyin nation
Cause what we facin is the
process of elimination
So busy chasin that our
history begins erasin
A savage nation that is
headin for anihilation
Time out - put the killin to a drought
And shorty stop runnin around
puttin all them dicks in yo' mouth
I be concerned cause we burn baby burn
Em
F
and we just don't, learn
