Ah yeah..(ah yeah)..it's real.

gonna put it down. all these little crime thangs,

homeless, the world is crazy bwoy

it's like this

it's the way it is

Heavy out there.. it's heavy.



Verse 1



Was I really such a bad child that I deserved to get hit with boards

and whooped with extension cords?

did you forget that I was your creation,

and all I wanted from you all was love, hope, and motivation?

son, you're disrespectful and you're talking back,

get out my face, kicked me out the house

and wouldn't even let me plead my case.

now I'm homeless and I'm freezing like the morgue,

the only thing keepin me alive is the Lord

needless to say it's times like this I'd rather be locked up then

drinkin water out my hands and eatin out of garbage cans

can I come back home, huh could I?

Son, you're on your own, why should I?



Chorus

Things'll never change, that's just the way it is

Nobody's even concerned

Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is

when will we ever learn?



Verse 2



Huh. three years from now, I think I'm gon be straight, (straight)

I put my name on the list for section 8

tried out for the army but I was flat footed,

didn't do no harm to me, cuz I was used to it

if I apply for some work, let's make a bet,

I'll get the nine

cuz I don't know about the internet

What do you think we need to do to change about this nation?

need to provide more jobs and better education

nuclear weapons (puh) should be stopping crimes,

already got enough to blow the world up

a thousand times

the birds and the bees, deadly disease,

teenage pregnancies, std's



Chorus
