E-town Concrete - Do You Know What It's Like? lyrics

Lessen programs promoting contraception If it means protection in the next election Religious groups will keep sending those checks in So we can start wars and keep sending those jets in Exactly just what kinda sh** did we step in? Exactly just what kinda message we sending? It don't matter if you condemn condoms It ain't your problem It's the type of thing that only happens in Harlem Happens in Compton, happens in Newark It happens in Houston, I think we got a problem, Houston Invoke God to camouflage your true sins Poke and prod, private life intrusions You say it's for our safety when you spy our movements Huh well, I don't buy it doofus I ain't stupid, this is my two cents You don't know what it's like to pray You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like to pray For God to turn the night to day You don't know what it's like to pray You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like to pray For God to turn the night to day Let's spend some real money on real life improvements Instead of moon men and booing same s** unions We need to take a look at why society is losing One room shack, a single mother with two kids They share the same bed and the walls are too thin So they hear every fight Fourth grade kids who cant read or write And all they ever hear is mommy beat at night They cant sleep at night, they cant catch no Z's So what the f** they care about the ABC's It's crazy, kids in grades 1,2,3 Trying to decide whether to be a B or C Their stomachs are empty, theres not enough MD's But we can spend millions chasing WMD's Or we can just build a pipeline in the Mid-East And when the bill comes, send it to me You don't know what it's like to pray You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like to pray For God to turn the night to day You don't know what it's like to pray You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like to pray For God to turn the night to day
