So we all got children, products of the ghetto
Momma us soup, daddy did the yelling
Uncle was a drunk, was a felon
When he got pitched, he told them he wasn't tellin'
Auntie was a cook, her husband was a crook
Cause job he had they be payin' him off the books
university, knowledge is all it took
In a tenement I was listenin' to the hook
Change gon' come, the spirit of Sam Cook
When the comin', everybody get shook
Now we doin' life and Martin
On the gang, I was into the coffin
The and the rats, heroin and the cracks
Couldn't blame me, I'm just giving the facts
Tryna hit the top, the bottom ain't where it's at
Everybody got a past but you can never go back
Sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)...
Tellin' you like it is, how we ever gon' live?
If we ain't gettin' money, how we feedin' the kids?
It's a revolving door, where be doin' bids
I know it sound wrong but the door will be what it is
Survival of the fittest, this poor girl the illest
Broke parents and black give me heebie-geebies
Life seems hard but nothin' ever comes easy
Whatever's in the dark, can always become the light
If you ain't in a battle, how you gon' win the fight?
Gotta speak the truth when I'm up in the booth
The be flyin' birds but don't be on the roof
Poverty is a pain like you pullin' a tooth
the streets don't let me go like I'm Bishop in Juice
The roaches and the rats, heroin and the cracks
Couldn't me, I'm just giving the facts
Tryna hit the top, the ain't where it's at
Everybody got a but you can go back
Sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
