Street Life pt.2

by Ariangela   Nov 23, 2003


Its a tough world out there today
It hurts to see what people face
Some see things they shouldn't see
They are in places they shouldn't be
Kids grow up in a world with violence in their life
A world with a lot of non stop crime
People think it's good then go do that sh**!
Then they cry to sleep cuz they are fed up with it!
Kids think life is just a simple walk
but it ain't that simple you could die by the way you like to talk
Girls see rapers in the streets and it makes them sick
Crying and saying "why on us you've got to pick?!"
People owe man money yet they have to pay bills
And if they don't pay that money back they could get killed
Motherless children roam the sreets
While they beg for food and a place to sleep
Yet no one cares they just shut the door
Why do you have to go do that for?!
Imagine you waz in their shoes?!
Wouldn't you like some sort of shelter, clothes, a place to rest to?!
Mothers work and raise their children the best way they can
Cuz the guy who's the father can't take responsiblility, doesn't know who to step up and be a man!
If you didn't want a child you should have worn protection!
Cuz every child needs a father figure, so they will walk down the right direction
I admit I did alot of stup** sh** in my life
But now i'm just trying to make things right
I want to sit down and talk to these kids
And make sure none of them do the things many others did
So every morning when they wake up they'll only think about doing good
Instead of chilling with them crackheads in their neighborhood
We need kids that know how to use thier brains, that do't commit many sins
Don't wait till later right now is the time to begin.
