People
The world today is in a very difficult situation
And we all know it
Because we`re the ones who created it
What`s wrong with our future
What`s wrong with our future
What`s wrong with our future
What`s wrong with our future
Bust this
How long will this last
A friend to the end a memory in the past
You think you`re big cause you walk with a shotgun
I got new for you your days are numbered son
Why don`t you get yourself a job
When your kid grows up do you want him to rob
Look at your mother teardrops
She just received a phone call from the cops
Your son will do life `cause he wigged a man`s wife
Shot her with a gun and stabbed her with a knife or
Take a look at your mother`s heart torn
She just received a phone-call from the morgue
Your son is dead from three shots to the head
The killer left a note and this is what the note said
Never be bigger than you are
Never try to pose like you`re a superstar
Next time you rob somebody and you give him the death-wish
When you pull the trigger nigga don`t miss
Is this how you wanna be
Dead on the street or locked in a penetentiary
It`s cool to be free
And it`s alright for you to be you and for me to be me
Look at you 15 years old
Coolin on the corner with a can of Old Gold
Whatever happened to school
Yeah sure you go to school but you go to be cool
To sport sneakers that you took from somebody
To talk about the kid that you bucked at some party
Life is a gamble and you`re losin
Before it`s too late brother you better start choosin
Left from right right from wrong
Or you`ll be singin that old blues song
Yo you gotta buck em or else you`re soft
Some I knew thought the same now they`re way up North
You ain`t soft cause you didn`t buck a shot
Put the pistol down throw up your hands see what ya got
Old Johnny Walker from around the block
Was livin` rather large `till he got knocked
He had Livin` Large on his Jeep plates
Livin` Large on his real estate
He even bought a diamond Livin` Large name plate
He used to look at cops and smile in their face
Drive a BMW and pump the bass
One day he made a move for a friend
The f-r-iend the voice said Yo I need ten Johnny said When
Later on that day Johnny went to play the game he normally plays
To do a favour for a chum
You see a friend is a friend but then some are none
Cause when he got to the spot they were supposed to meet
All he found was a police-infested street
I guess havin a friend is rough
Cause now Johnny`s up north doin push-ups gettin buffed
You see this chain I`ve got I`ve got it honestly
You see the clothes I wear I`ve got it honestly
You see the Jeep I drive I`ve got it honestly
I work hard it ain`t easy being me
Never had an excuse for life
Just did what I did now what I do I do it right
Jumbo Jumbo they cry on the block
50 50 lay low here comes the cops
Man your lifestyle is petro
On your knees again because Jumbo said so
Free Mandela you cried
But you still sell dope to brothers and sisters outside
Martin Luther King had a dream ooh yeah
That`s exactly what turned his dream into a nightmare
Malcolm X said By any means necessary
He didn`t mean just for you brother he meant for everybody
Maybe if we were still slaves we`ll be closer however
Pickin cotton was bad but we picked it together
I pray for you and you pray for me
Sincerely yours the overweight lover Heavy D
