| [00:05.117] |
feat. Anthony Hamilton Intro from Ice Cube |
| [00:06.667] |
Intro: |
| [00:07.116] |
Either they don' t know, don' t show, or don' t care about what' s going on in the hood. |
| [00:17.75] |
Uh Uh, yeah, uh yeah yeah this your boy chingaling man, |
| [00:23.136] |
need to talk to the world real quick, talk to em man, |
| [00:30.42] |
you know we got a lot of problems going on in the inner city, |
| [00:33.594] |
in the ghetto, in the hood, they ain' t hearin you, |
| [00:37.345] |
ain' t nobody touchin on, democrats, republicans, |
| [00:38.196] |
all those folks, you know they don' t care what' s going on in the ghetto anyway. |
| [00:41.852] |
Verse 1: |
| [00:42.903] |
Errday I wake up with a regular mentality, |
| [00:44.253] |
but I' m a target on the street and that' s just reality, |
| [00:46.804] |
cats in the ghetto ain' t never had a high salary, |
| [00:49.956] |
except makin deals and selling blow in the alley, |
| [00:55.608] |
see the system was made for us to fail, look at the jails, |
| [00:57.961] |
overpopulated with mexicans and young black males, |
| [00:59.412] |
I ain' t tellin the tale, so we choose heaven or hell, |
| [01:03.563] |
don' t care about letters from school, we' d rather get street mail, |
| [01:06.713] |
I been a witness to some murders snitchin I do without it, |
| [01:09.66] |
but then I wonder why the damn police don' t do nothing about it, |
| [01:12.72] |
go to the unemployment office, hell yeah it' s crowded, |
| [01:14.273] |
our hoods takin wrong turns now it' s time to reroute it, |
| [01:16.774] |
I know a lil dude 13, carry a burner dropped out of school, |
| [01:21.725] |
teacher said he wasn' t a fast learner, |
| [01:24.175] |
sometimes I wonder in 20years I wonder where we gon be, |
| [01:26.826] |
when I say we, I mean my black community, ya digg. |
| [01:28.577] |
Chorus: |
| [01:29.177] |
They don' t know, how it feels to hurt so long, |
| [01:35.937] |
cause they never walked in these shoes, |
| [01:38.988] |
and they never had to cry these blues, how many men, |
| [01:42.540] |
turn their back on us so long, always say what they gon do, |
| [01:47.743] |
but they never seem to come through. |
| [01:48.895] |
Verse 2: |
| [01:54.63] |
Pardon my french but I don' t think we ready for a lady president, |
| [01:55.921] |
it' s evident that it' s a mans world so that' s irrelevant, |
| [01:59.426] |
the system think we all niggas and we not intellegent, |
| [02:00.976] |
but martin luther and malcolm taught me before I' m heavensent, |
| [02:03.328] |
the girls havin kids and they still some kids, |
| [02:08.337] |
poppin them out one after another like that' s what it is, |
| [02:11.138] |
it' s innocent cats doin bizz, they just tryin to life, |
| [02:13.39] |
and the police don' t even know if the crime they did, |
| [02:16.840] |
it' s got my brain in a twist, so I' m twistin a eaf, |
| [02:19.890] |
on my balcony smokin and drinkin trying to see some relief, |
| [02:21.990] |
if I can change our neighborhoods I would, put that on me, |
| [02:24.742] |
this world messed up, and that stevie wonder can see, |
| [02:27.694] |
so to my dogs locked down set ya mind free, |
| [02:31.396] |
cause you and I don' t even believe you can get your degree, |
| [02:33.998] |
sometimes I wonder in 20years where we gon be, |
| [02:37.455] |
and when I say we I mean my black community, let' s go. |
| [02:40.707] |
Chorus: |
| [02:40.858] |
They don' t know, how it feels to hurt so long, |
| [02:45.259] |
cause they never walked in these shoes, and they never had to cry these blues, |
| [02:53.113] |
how many men, turn their back on us so long, always say what they gon do, |
| [02:57.321] |
but they never seem to come through. |
| [02:59.730] |
Verse 3: |
| [03:00.581] |
I twist the cap off the bottle, take a sip and see tomorrow, |
| [03:05.883] |
like pac, wash away the sorrow while police hit the block, |
| [03:09.786] |
I be up all night, askin god for the truth, |
| [03:12.753] |
he told me thinking translated in my own words in the booth, |
| [03:15.356] |
try to reach the youth, cause that' s what matters today, |
| [03:17.159] |
I' m ain' t too religious but I get on my knees and pray, |
| [03:21.759] |
sometimes I wonder in 20years where we gon be, |
| [03:24.221] |
I ain' t gotta wonder no more, my people rollin with me, yeah. |
| [03:26.471] |
Chorus: |
| [03:27.171] |
They don' t know, how it feels to hurt so long, |
| [03:30.922] |
cause they never walked in these shoes, |
| [03:36.182] |
and they never had to cry these blues, how many men, |
| [03:41.487] |
turn their back on us so long, always say what they gon do, |
| [03:48.399] |
but they never seem to come through. |
| [03:49.849] |
Outro: |

| [03:54.65] |
