I been a lot of places seen a lot things
From the Homeless and half naked to million dollar bling
Kids begging mom for that white sox cap
Other kids with no shoes turn them white socks black/I seen hustlers move a brick then relax for a week/seen single mother working two jobs with cracks in her feet/Seen homies that pretend be straight/terrified of us judging them so they come to church a pretend to relate/I seen marriages dissolving other nothing/I even seen 24 years as good as gone all of a sudden/seen some of the same girls that I used to sing in choir with/switch up
Environments and get hired by a pimp/I hate seen these students graduate 12th
Grade staring at the letters on page sweating like they afraid/I sick of kids come up missing/you never see black come up missing cause its not on television everyday every hour its so much we shell shocked/while Laquita’s on a coupon that tucked in your mailbox/ this is what I see, But you wont see it on CNN/Worst part all I really don’t see an end/Lord Help us/
Verse 2
What ever happened to Love/whatever happened to having your brothers back when he was trapped in the mud/whatever happened to us spanking our kids/mom didn’t but dad did and honestly im thankfully he did/whatever happened to wearing blue and red/now a days you were blue or red and boom your dead and lose head/whatever happened to men respect our women/whatever happened to having date a minus the sex with our women/
Whatever happened prayer/now a days we rather pop a couple pill sit back and yak in a chair/(to perfect strangers) we ever happened to us/we call each niggaz like we still sit in the back of the bus/Tell me something whatever happened to smiling/the fact that don’t hug yo kids is why they have that habit of violence/whatever happened to the government/wont let the ten commandment is the court/but let two form a covenant/don’t hear it but you know this is the truth/Unless we shooting know one notices the youth/this is what I see and, But you wont see it on CNN/Worst part of all is I really don’t see and end/Lord Help us
Verse 3
This what see every single day
I know only God can save though I never though I’ve never seen his face
Someway somehow we gone make it out
(change gone come)
