Mama hold her head and cry
Cause her son had been shut down on the streets and died
Oh why oh why?
Is what she cries She cries.
The biggest problems in the cities
Is them daddies ain't there
And if it ain't about the money
Then nobody don't care
And then I spoke to an OG trying ment to me said boy
these streets s** the love right out your heart
So don't believe that bullsh**.
You know god damn well these n***az won't show up
(oh no no noo)
know god damn well These b**hes will grow up
I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos We can't get no lower
So I' m askin' God How we can dig ourselves out?
We can't afford a shovel
If there's a problem in the hood everybody comes together Just to solve that problem
But that's the problem in the hood No one comes together unless she involved violence
Cause we were taught to be the tough guys And we were told just to remake silence
The you got them n***az telling on the next guys Stand and tell them what it takes to solve them
Is there a problem that I don't know about?
Is there a problem that I haven't heard about?
Sad sick kids are robbin each other Prostitues and drug dealers
We won't get much further unless we start helping each other
But they're none believers will say
You know god damn well That these n***az won't show up You know god damn well that these b**hes won't grow up I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos We can't get no lower
So I' m asking God How we can dig ourselves out? We can't afford a shovel

Rule 16, brothers with no fathers around

You know god damn well That these n***az won't show up You know god damn well that these b**hes won't grow up I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos We can't get no love up
So I' m askin' God How we can dig ourselves out? We can't afford a shovel.
