Lyrics

[00:29.24] Sometimes words are enough to kill over
[00:31.43] Thanksgiving didn't give
[00:32.81] So what should I hope for
[00:34.62] I keep on looking for job
[00:36.49] But job seems not to like me
[00:37.93] What else my doors kick off the hedges
[00:39.56] Somebody just fill they Christmas list
[00:41.31] Off me and tha family
[00:42.93] And damn I just miss them
[00:44.49] Felt like I've been raped
[00:45.87] A figures been through my drawers
[00:47.24] Always read tha times in between tha black
[00:49.43] Spent my summers in that country
[00:51.12] So I consider myself a Jack
[00:52.49] Some left this world by putting bullets in they head
[00:54.68] But little Johnnie across the street
[00:55.99] hung hisself from his bunk-bed
[00:57.06] Had to go to court in tha mornin'
[00:59.12] Nothing hard about it
[01:01.18] My little partner was just scared
[01:03.50] How scared Gipp that scared
[01:06.00] When I was B-gee
[01:07.24] Used to think I couldn't be hit
[01:08.68] None of my homies carried guns
[01:10.12] All I had was a stick
[01:11.56] Coming out hard was the way from day one
[01:13.87] One of the smallest muthafuckers in the crew
[01:15.93] But you knew and feel the type of niggas that kill
[01:18.06] Be the ones that's out to prove something
[01:19.56] To them other niggers cause
[01:20.87] They already know the outcome
[01:22.00] What's going down at the party
[01:23.50] So many fine hoes nobody knows why
[01:26.18] We buck, I guess we up in a rut
[01:28.62] Looking for but at the same time
[01:30.12] Up in the Flame supporting girls up in the game
[01:32.37] Out to get a piece of what the system
[01:34.43] Has designed black folks to struggle for
[01:36.12] So I bust, so much to deal with
[01:38.06] Can't feel what's real from fake
[01:39.37] For my sake I stay close to home
[01:41.06] So them crackers don't take and
[01:42.43] Never give back to my hood
[01:43.93] In desperate need of change
[01:45.12] Be this way to
[01:46.00] We arrage it to be fit me
[01:47.81] Growing up on Sesame Street
[01:49.25] Can you feel, what I feel?
[01:51.31] Can you hear, what I hear?
[01:53.18] Can you see what I see?

[02:10.81] Georgia Power wants to put me in the dark
[02:12.74] But one spark
[02:13.62] I see Sammy streak to ma spot
[02:15.56] In this red Fred Sanford truck undercover
[02:17.68] But he geela folks fo da class "A" substances narcotics
[02:21.06] Ole shought stopping ask?
[02:22.49] Can be "shock-ca-locka"?
[02:23.06] Um to mad to be scared
[02:24.81] So for the price if you go it
[02:26.31] Like that to be the boss you gladly pay it
[02:28.31] An arm and a leg I'd be lying if I say I ain't
[02:31.37] Need no help, can't do it by myself
[02:33.18] It's raining sesame
[02:34.87] Cause it's only so much time left in this crazy world
[02:37.81] Mates in prison guards life with a hamma
[02:39.99] So excuse ma grammar
[02:41.50] Behind the walls of Atlanta, Federal Penn
[02:43.93] The tait on "Fred Stock" the cell blox wit no C.O.'s
[02:46.93] Equipped with radios
[02:47.75] The system is fraud and the security camera
[02:50.87] Now have we an eyeball on it yet
[02:53.24] The second stage denied
[02:54.37] I wonder if I get another trial
[02:58.43] Remember me from way back in the days
[03:00.87] Lived right around the corner from Benjamin Mays
[03:03.62] I'm amazed that we made it this far
[03:06.12] A po black family is all that we are
[03:08.62] Wishing upon a star
[03:09.68] For a trace of happiness
[03:10.87] My mama do her best but she ain't making no progresss
[03:13.81] Maybe it's a test that we all gotta pass
[03:16.43] My situations making me grow too fast
[03:18.18] 13 and a half years old standing at the bus stop
[03:22.68] Alone in the cold on my way to be degraded
[03:26.56] For a fee to help get my family off this streeet called Sesame
[03:29.75] Can you feel, what I feel?
[03:32.00] Can you hear, what I hear?
[03:34.00] Can you see what I see?
[03:35.81] When ma feet hit the streets
[03:37.56] What chu know?
[03:38.44] What chu know?
[03:40.25] Can you feel, what I feel?
