Poem
Everything ain't all good with these boyzn the hood They speacialize in weapons like teachers give lessons Like post convicts master deception It's "A Time To Kill" on "2300 Jackson street" And these situations repeat and they "Die Hard" Children on drugs suffering from wounds and scars Daddy and mommy behind bars And it's a "Nightmare on Elm Street" Right up the street from "Dawsons creek" Just around the corner from "one tree hill" Not nearly near any of those places but still Cause these places prolly don't have people with masked faces Running and escaping from someone they just killed Back in the hood they went from poor to poorer people afraid to go to the corner store because of the horror Robbing and shooting crazy people looting To hatred they're constantly saluting Drug black people so this pain gets deeper than the "deep blue sea" parents leaving their children "home alone" While they watch MTV it's some sort of "obsession" In other parts of the country While children in the ghetto are hungry Daddy ain't home anymore so they're lonely Little infant child has no food so he's bony So she can't deal with it and so she finds a way to deal wit it It's either buy it or steal it in her mindset it's legitimate But that's what you get when they put us in positions where we automatically forfeit We live in cities where there is broken asphalt and concrete Life would be so sweet if we lived in a place like "sesame street" Cause I bet that street never reeks Where love is filled up to the top And it never leaks Meanwhile back at the projects got sophisticated criminals And most of the time their crime is never at the minimal They're so evil they will even try to rob God Open wide and taste the truth it's no longer homicide It's genocide
