[00:21.440]Yo yo
[00:22.480]Welcome to the home of brotherly love
[00:24.670]Brothers covered in blood
[00:26.000]The man's office is covered in bugs
[00:27.950]The youth dreams cut short swept under the rug
[00:30.740]Love for self is outweighed by the love for the ***
[00:33.640]Go Eagles McNabb and T O
[00:35.850]We ain't hard to find homey
[00:37.690]Just follow the w**d smoke
[00:39.070]We eat rolls of greased beef soaked
[00:41.630]Overweight and evil
[00:42.520]A city of justice unequal
[00:44.590]The shadow of New York we still under
[00:46.760]So we gotta kill 'em every summer walk a little tougher
[00:50.160]Guns bustin' how we chose to fight
[00:52.120]When you can go from bein'
[00:53.310]A star to a scumbag overnight
[00:55.940]Streets often deserted on the coldest nights
[00:58.620]All hair trigger thunderbirds show you're right
[01:01.440]Cops don't ask if ya know your rights
[01:03.660]Hopeless hypes smokin' pipes
[01:04.790]Pavement gamblers rollin' dice
[01:06.530]Short sentence describe your whole life
[01:09.150]Low expectancy at a low price for a low life
[01:12.500]The mind of many years shines soul so bright
[01:15.080]But they could give a f**k in their crib no lights
[01:17.660]Everybody rhyme and they
[01:19.880]Claim they don't write--it down

[01:53.626]Hood gossip never news from the newspaper
[01:56.246]Don't ask me for sh*t we never do favors
[01:58.776]The elders are now just a bunch of reclused neighbors
[02:01.826]Tax dollars go to prisons new judges new chambers

[02:18.116]What do you expect from--kids who need respect
[02:20.786]Cuz no one was at home for them to learn respect from
[02:23.516]We respect guns we respect funds
[02:26.356]Let's face it my future don't look like the Jetsons
[02:28.776]Don't ask the government for help cause we expect none
[02:31.806]Our heroes get murdered and replaced with the next one
