[00:21.73] Time to question our lifestyle, look how we live

[00:24.18] Smokin' weed like it ain't no thang, so even kids

[00:26.95] Wanna try now, they lie down and get ran through

[00:30.21] Nobody watches 'em clockin' the evil man do

[00:32.71] Faced with the demons, addicted to hearin' victims screamin'

[00:35.41] Guess we was evil since birth, product of cursed semens

[00:38.46] 'Cause even our birthdays is cursed days

[00:40.66] A born thug in the first place, the worst ways

[00:43.43] I'd love to see the block in peace

[00:45.42] With no more dealers and crooked cops, the only way to stop the beast

[00:48.98] And only we can change

[00:50.17] It's up to us to clean up the streets, it ain't the same

[00:52.92] Too many murders, too many funerals and too many tears

[00:55.69] Just seen another brother buried plus I knew him for years

[00:59.41] Pa**ed by his family, but what could I say?

[01:01.44] Keep yo' head up and try to keep the faith

[01:03.69] And pray for better days

[01:05.91] Better days, better days, hey!

[01:18.92] Hey! Better days

[01:22.41] Got me thinkin' about better days

[01:25.18] Thinkin' back as an adolescent, who would've guessed

[01:27.70] That in my future years, I'd be stressin'

[01:30.19] Some say the ghetto's sick and corrupted

[01:32.19] Plus my P.O. won't let me hang with the brothers I grew up with

[01:35.44] Tryin' to keep my head up and stay strong

[01:37.68] All my homies slangin' llello all day long, but they wrong

[01:40.93] So I'm solo and so broke

[01:43.18] Savin' up for some Jordan's, 'cause they dope

[01:45.66] I got a girl and I love her but she broke too, and so am I

[01:48.65] I can't take her to the place she wanna go to

[01:51.40] So we argue and play fight, all day and night

[01:54.43] Makin' pa**ionate love 'til the daylight

[01:56.93] Plus we about to get evicted, can't pay the rent

[01:59.21] Guess it's time to see who really is yo' friend

[02:02.18] Tell me you pregnant and I'm amazed
