[00:16.54] today in los angeles another youth loses his life. gunshot wound to
[00:19.60] The head. street violence is at an all-time high)
[00:23.66] No jokin, Im sleepin with my eyes open
[00:25.46] Wanted for a homicide ride, the guns still smokin
[00:27.21] Didnt know what I was doin but did it anyway
[00:29.15] Now the posses on my trail, they say Im gonna pay (run!)
[00:31.77] I had a gun, its mine and I packed it
[00:33.76] Out with my crew, the boys caught some static
[00:35.57] Me and this sucker punk went at it
[00:37.32] Bang! nine automatic
[00:39.82] Hunted child
[00:43.25] Im the childhunted
[00:44.04] (sources say the assailant was 17-years old and lives in south-central
[00:51.15] Los angeles)
[00:55.09] Now Im on a hideout tip cos theyre after me
[00:57.14] Lapd says theyre gonna capture me
[00:58.33] Was I crazy? I guess I had to be
[01:01.07] Cos once you kill its instant catastrophe
[01:03.01] Your whole life is over (through!)
[01:05.20] Forget about your girl your (crew!)
[01:07.07] Nowhere to run, so what you gonna do?
[01:08.69] Be glad its me, homeboy, and not you
[01:10.81] The hunted child
[01:14.24] Im the hunted child
[01:18.55] Hunted child
[01:22.04] Im the hunted child
[01:41.96] Im only 17, I didnt mean to kill, man
[01:44.09] But I was slangin and bangin for the thrill, man
[01:46.10] When they said (kill!) I felt chill, man
[01:48.03] But once I pulled the trigger, boy, then things got ill, man
[01:50.34] My homeboys dipped out the back fast
[01:51.71] Left me alone in the echo of the gun blast
[01:53.59] Everybody saw my face, I didnt wear a mask
[01:55.46] You wanna know my name? just ask
[01:57.52] The hunted child
[02:01.14] Im the hunted child
[02:05.44] Hunted child
[02:08.94] Im the hunted child
[02:09.81] (the science of capitalism which you teach to the youth on the streets
[02:16.99] Today with the ends justifying the means mentality aint happenin)
[02:44.57] Im sweatin heavy cos my face is on tv
[02:46.50] Everybody in this whole worlds after me
[02:48.25] Since I was young I never had a damned thing
[02:50.18] At christmas time Id hate to hear the bells ring
[02:52.18] Cos in the ghetto santa aint got a dime
[02:53.99] Your mothers standin in the welfare line
[02:55.36] The way the youth survive is crime
[02:57.92] My life is over so I might as well speak my mind
[03:00.35] I killed a brother cos this system had me geared to kill
[03:02.73] Cos what I call home you call hell
[03:04.29] My ghetto quarters aint no better than a jail cell
[03:06.15] But theres a message in this story that Im tryna tell
[03:08.27] Were just brothers on the streets killin brothers
[03:09.83] This system has us geared to kill one another
[03:11.33] Sellin dope to poison each other
[03:12.39] The plan of the man, word to the mother
[03:15.70] But Im a sucker cos I fell into their plan
[03:17.69] 187, I killed a brother man
[03:18.69] My life on earth was hell, you understand?
[03:20.75] But when I die Im goin to hell again
[03:24.43] Im the hunted child Im the hunted child Im the hunted child the
[03:30.73] Hunted child
[03:45.10] Im the hunted child
[04:17.09] Im the hunted child
