Been 'round the world, songs are all the Sometimes when I'm I still call your name Back when I was young I used to dream of Now they all point they fingers sayin' to blame
Mothers put girls into pigtail curls Fathers teach their sons how to shoot guns They say, "Boy never cry control your emotions Just take it like a man, make stand"
say, "Sex and violence go hand in hand" For man blessed there got to be ten damned Expand the depths of space and time Standin' three eyes on the firing line
Word to my man divine, come too far, "La ilaha Allah" Twelve rakats short on my day's prayer Just that the lord got some mercy to spare They go one for the Ummah, two for the

Hands need washin' all the dirty dealin' From the floor to the ceilin', the stage to the door From the and the queens and the slaves and the whores For every lost cause where the martyrs are

Put your lights on, put down crosses It's to tally up your wins and your losses They go one for La Rock, two for Pac and B.I.G. And for all the mothers who got graves to dig
For all the mothers who got to dig For all the who got graves to dig
