Why does Juvenile gotta suffer so All this love in the hood keeps me in a Last night, me and the fellas almost got We gunshots and we said "we all broke" A 2 mile chase corners quick Thank god we and made it to the bricks Now I gotta carry a i guess These brothas try to my cap, so I gotta put em to rest Now is it really the fighting and fuss We killed one of them, killed one of us A teenage black male Gave em a brand new 40 and he got in jail They say how it's 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 this
Living inside ghetto is not a joke, not a I keep on seeing fellas from hood smoked Living inside ghetto is not a joke, not a I keep on seeing fellas hood getting smoked Living inside ghetto is not a joke, not a I keep on fellas from hood getting smoked Living inside ghetto is not a joke, not a I keep on seeing fellas from hood smoked
I wouldn't be alive if I say I'm the type of that praise everyday Brothas in the hood the same They got a gun and change Now they say I changed cause I'm making But I'm still in the hood out some chicken Teenage sistas getting happy 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, because I made it So I'm praying to the Lord, change me back
My family's not like they should be And I don't they ever will be My grandma is the only one that says she us So the reason for the everyday scream fuss just 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 wanna run when I hide Lord if I go, just sure I'm on your side
(Juvenile till end)
