Rock Wright - Inner City Wars lyrics

Inner City Wars (Chorus) Another gang shootout, inner city wars And I was just on that block ten minutes before Now I'm paranoid, will I live til twenty-five? My mother's only prayer is that I make it home alive (Post Hook) Mama I'll make it home tonight Mama I'll make it home alright These inner city wars won't change my life Mama I'll make it home tonight Mama I'll make it home alright -These inner city wars won't Take my life (Verse) It's a war out here mom, but you already knew that It's a war out here, I got the battle wounds to prove it It's cold out here, still got that crack house on our corner It's so cold out here, I'm trying not to catch pneumonia Living in a land where ruthless k**ers run up on ya And tote that Glock with no pity, good kid maad city It's a jungle out here literally- Surprised I made it this far considering The amount of traps they plant so that a black man can't Ever fun the light out of these dark roads Where you'll find a bullet hole before you'll find hope Product of our environment We weren't born violent The city required us to be that way From what fitted cap you rock, to where your grandma stay So don't ask me bout Hollywood, cuz it's a war in L.A. I've lost homies, my boy AP died in my arms Ya I know who shot him, drive by, and we knew the car Even though it felt like- I had nothing to lose With more blood on my clothes than a hundred Pirus I'd be a fortune's fool to make a move Cuz I won't be another black boy to die in vain You shot my bro, I shoot you, your bro shoot me Ain't nothing change I'm from the nation of retaliation, feel my pain I'm tired of losing brothers, man I'm ready for change Mom I'm tired of you being afraid when I walk outdoors I'm tired of these toxic Inner City Wars ~On God! (Post Hook) Mama I'll make it home tonight Mama I'll make it home alright These inner city wars won't change my life Mama I'll make it home tonight Mama I'll make it home alright -These inner city wars won't Take my life
