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