Thi'sl - Picture On A Shirt lyrics

{Speaking} I lay in my bed at night sometimes I can't even sleep cuz I hear the hood crying so loud. Every corner I hit, I see clothes… with teddy bears… Verse 1 I seen a crime scene as I ride by His baby momma scream and his momma ask why His boy like lord why my man had to die I wonder if my fam gonna live in the sky Sad just another young black boy dead The news people said he took two to the head Its sad ain't no telling who that boy coulda been With the influence of a few good men But instead he lived his whole life trapped in sin Tryna get some money and some 20 inch rims It's sad ain't no telling what that boy coulda been He coulda went to college coulda got a tight gig A shame we'll die tryna get ourselves a Benz But won't work a job just to take care our kids To see him on the ground man it made my heart hurt But now that boy gone he just another picture on a shirt Chorus I seen a crime scene as I ride by The blood on the ground made the concrete dry His baby momma screaming and his momma ask why my son had to die See we talk this is life in the hood We live life fast til we crash in the hood Teddy bears lie where we die in the hood another soul gone. (Picture on a shirt) Verse 2 Have you ever seen Lil Chris? He said he wants to blow like Ludacris He said its temporary that he doing this Soon as he get his deal man he through with this He said he only crack game Just to make some money for the rap game He said he's gonna take the whole street game And incorporate it to the rap game But one day in a dice game He had a phat stack and a phat chain This Lil dude tryna make himself a name Rob Chris and hit him with the thang It's sad ain't no telling what that boy coulda been But instead he lived his whole life trapped in sin To see him on the ground man it made my heart hurt But now Chris gone he just another picture on a shirt Chorus I seen a crime scene as I ride by The blood on the ground made the concrete dry His baby momma screaming and his momma ask why my son had to die See we talk this is life in the hood We live life fast til we crash in the hood Teddy bears lie where we die in the hood another soul gone. (Picture on a shirt) Verse 3 Lil Shanice she done put away the toys Now my girl got a thing for them trap boys She into high fashion and like tight car Could only see herself being with a hood star See Lil Shanice she didn't grow up in the hood Was brought up in a church taught to live life good When momma go to work now she headed to the hood Tryna get her vibe on and smoke on good See momma told her when you live life fast There's only one thing left to do and that's crash And one day she did and she flew through the gla** Found Lil Shanice dead lying in the gra** She the only person in the car died Her blood on ground made the concrete dry When I heard about her man it made my heart hurt But now that girl gone she just another picture on a shirt Chorus I seen a crime scene as I ride by The blood on the ground made the concrete dry His baby momma screaming and his momma ask why my son had to die See we talk this is life in the hood We live life fast til we crash in the hood Teddy bears lie where we die in the hood another soul gone. (Picture on a shirt) {Speaking}Man, God did not make us man so we could die in the hood, just to be a picture on a shirt man. God didn't make us just so we could end up dead with a bunch of teddy bears going across where we laid man. Jesus overcame man not just so we could overcome sin but so we could overcome the hood too. Man God loves you man. You don't have to look to the hood for love, because Jesus love you. And God loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you. It's time for change yall, too many of us dying every day, but God know you pain. We all scarred by those pictures on the T-shirts. It's time for healing man {voice fading}
