inner city blues

INNER CITY BLUES IS A STRUGGLE I SING ABOUT
IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIVED THE LIFE
WHEN YOU LIVE IN INNER CITY BLUES
YOU SEE DOPE DEALERS AND DOPE FIENDS,LITTLE CHILDREN WITH BIG DREAMS
AND SOME CHILDREN HAVE NO DREAMS AND NO HOPE FOR NO-THINGS
YOUR EVERY DAY LIFE IS A STRUGGLE IN THE HOOD
YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE IS A HUSTLE IN THE HOOD
SOMETIMES I KNEEL AND PRAY, THAT JESUS WOULD ,COME BACK  ANDTAKE HEAVEN
FROM THE SKY AND MOVE IT A BLOCK AWAY
THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE FAR TO GO WHEN WE DIE-
INNER CITY BLUES
IS SOMETHING EVERYONE IN THE GHETTO PROJECTS KNOW ABOUT
IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIVED THE LIFE
PROSTITUES ON EVERY CORNER,PIMPS ON EVERY CORNER
AND IT DOSENT MATTER WHICH ONE THEY'RE STILL GONNA GET YOUR DAUGHTER
I WONDER SOMETIMES HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE
WHEN WE HAVE A LIQUOR STORE AND DRUG DEALER ON EVERY CORNER.
AND IT'S EASY FOR THE GOVERNMENT YOU SEE-BECAUSE THEY TRY AND MAKE US BELIEVE TAHT THIS COUNTRY
ISN'T RUINED BY THEIR  GOVERNMENTAL AND PRESIDENTIAL GREED AND
EVERY DAY WE BLEED IN THIS COUNTRY NOT REALIZING THAT AMERICA IS DYING -SILENTELY AND VIOLENTELY
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE GOD EYES ISNT WATCHING ME.
I PRAY FOR THE DAY TO COME WHEN GOD SHINES HIS LIGHT ON MY LIFE
BUT INNER CITY BLUES IS A STRUGGLE I SING ABOUT
IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT IT'S BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIVED THE LIFE






WHILE WE ARE REMEMBERING
LET'S NOT FORGET THE GHETTO PROJECTS
IN THIS COUNTRY
WE NEED TO SURVIVE TOO
WE DIE EVERY DAY AND THERE IS NOONE TO SAVE US AND
IT'S A SAD REALITY THAT WE CANT EVEN SAVE OURSELVES
