Another stick up kid takes another life today
Monkey on his back crackpipe in the ashtray
Sweet little girl dumps her baby in the alley
Got knocked up by a rapist in the valley
Hooker on the corner dressed in drag got robbed out
Stabbed 40 times by a psycho that was down and out
Just when I try to relax and think it's alright
I hear a gunshot and a siren in the dead of night
War on the streets - it's crazy out there
War - and the cops dno't care
War on the streets - it ain't safe at night
War - got you runnin for your life
Imminent danger of a never ending race war
Rich b**h wanna terminate the poor
Watch us k** each other lookin down from their penthouse
Now they're running scared cause they can't escape the madhouse
No one's safe from the violence and madness
k**in each other's just never ending sadness
Crack dealer on the corner played the fool
The other day he shot a kid on his way to school
Are we at war?
