A poor black ghetto child

The police and the courts wanna run him out

He's so cold and the po po hate 'em all

He ain't seen his daddy since back in '84

But oh well, so it be, now he's in jail

So the story goes on
There's no glory and the worry takes a toll on

His whole body but his buddies wanna roll on

It's all bloody when the cops come to a stop

The police with their big Glocks pull 'em out

They say "freeze" but there's only one comin' out

verse 3
C Am
So one day when it's all said and done
F C
My life will be the bluest rap song ever sung
Am
My verses will be curses to the rich
F
And all sorts of authority will cease to exist
C Am
My daughters will be free of wars in my honor. Your fist
F
Will raise in the air
Like the silence of revolution My face will appear
C Am
Like the vision of a prisoner with his last beer
F C
This song is a poem and this whole poem is a tear
Dropped to your ear

Outro
C Am
So why do kids cry when they're born?
Am
Ever ask yourself that?
Am C C
I mean, there's no scientifical reason explaining that.
Am F C
Well, it is said that Satan stabs a child at birth
C Am
As an introduction to pain.
F C
You know, welcome to the world, right?
