THESE KIDS TRAPPED IN
A STRUGGLE AND
KNOW WHERE THEY'RE
HEADING, NO
A HEAD FULL OF
TROUBLE IS ALL THAT
THEY'RE GETTING
AND NOBODY KNOWS
THE SUFFERING THEY

SO MANY SONGS, SO

THE WORLD HAD TO
HEAR SO MANY RHYMES
ABOUT HOW LIFE IS FOR
STRUGGLERS

YOUNG HOMIES TURN
HUSTLERS, STEALING
FOR MONEY
IT'S KINDA FUNNY HOW
THE CRIME RATE IS SO HIGH
IN SUBURBS WHERE
FAMILY TIES ARE LOW, 'N
SUICIDES ON THE RISE
OH WHY, SO MANY DIE
COZ IN THEIR EYES
THE MISTAKE THEY
MADE, CANT BE ERASED
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS
TO TAKE THEIR LIFE
AND IF THEY DON'T DO IT
SUDDEN THEN THEY'LL
DO IT SLOWLY
POLLUTING THEMSELVES
WITH DRUGS, BECAUSE
THEY ON THIS
WORLD LONELY
SO WE AS A NATION JUST
CLASS 'EM AS A WASTE
OF SPACE
AND IF THEY DON'T HELP
THE ECONOMY THEN
STRIP 'EM NAKED
PUT 'EM ON THE
STREETS 'N MAKE SURE
THE POLICE HATE 'EM
AND FEED THE PUBLIC
PHONY INFORMATION ON
THE EVENING NEWSKIDS
MAY BOMBSTATIONS,
TO GET AT
THE BOYS IN BLUE
