They don't notice the youth
unless the youth is shootin'
the youth is usin'
ecstasy, hennessy
the youth's abusin'
Say it's cuz we listen to music
Bullshit cuz lil' kids
grow wit no love and get no hugs
now shortys a thug
and hes walkin down his block
freely givin' them slugs
we don't worry bout the man above
when push comes to shove
do what you gotta do to survive
and sometimes we wanna cry
but the shoulders not there
so we hold back tears
and years later snap
a schools attacked,
little Roe got a hold of the mack
now that, could all happen
scrappin's how the problems are solved
you aint gotta set a balls
they'll push you to the wall
its called, bein' a man
but some don't understand
cuz they aint have a dad
to give a helpin hand and man
don't tell me bout plans
cuz it can't be fixed
I try to do it myself
but i eventually give
and it, will remain for days cuz
kids aint raised the way
they should be raised
