Why Juvenile gotta suffer so much All love in the hood keeps me in a fuss Last night, me and the fellas got smoked We heard gunshots and we "we all broke" A 2 mile hitting corners quick Thank god we alright and it to the bricks Now I gotta carry a nine i These brothas try to peel my cap, so I gotta put em to Now is it worth the fighting and fuss We killed one of them, they one of us A teenage black male Gave em a brand new 40 and he got in jail They say thats how supposed to be But I don't that kind of life was chosen for me So I send up the sin I To the Lord to To end all of hate
Living ghetto is not a joke, not a joke I keep on seeing fellas from getting smoked Living ghetto is not a joke, not a joke I keep on fellas from hood getting smoked inside ghetto is not a joke, not a joke I keep on seeing fellas from hood getting inside ghetto is not a joke, not a joke I keep on seeing fellas from getting smoked
I wouldn't be alive if I say I'm the type of that praise everyday Brothas in the ain't the same They got a gun and change Now they say I cause I'm making records But I'm still in the hood handing out chicken Teenage sistas getting drawls to be quiet, now she do it all It's hard to undertsand shit And everybody I say "life's a bitch" My life is a bitch, I made it that So I'm praying to the Lord, please change me
My family's not together they should be And I don't think they will be My is the only one that says she loves us So whats the reason for the scream fuss Daddy just got last week For my boy on the curb, may he rest in Then they and killed Teck Now I'm "is the Juv next?" I wanna run when I can't hide Lord if I go, just sure I'm on your side
