[Intro: Honey The Hippie] There was like, I knew a dude named D From Compton, California, And Uh Let me give you a little story about D, Yeah [Verse 1: Honey The Hippie] He was like, Eff school who needs straight A's I'm the teacher on these streets up in L.A I'm the one getting paid to sell high grade And i pledge allegiance to the pocket where my flag hangs So it's illegal for me to go and gang-bang Well in the army they doing the same thing Because you live for flag, die for a flag A dude threatens you put him in a body bag Middle East, nah the war is in these streets And uh, money is the root of all evil And the government the one who plant the seed Give us no shades and no growth in our people Rock buying, cop sirens, shots firing Moms crying, sons dying, bad timing The cycle of life if you trying to survive in [Hook] I hang with n***as on the Dodgers I came with hoes and they squabbin' I hang with n***as that'll ride for me So you don't want no problems [Verse 2: Honey The Hippie] Dude's at 25, with no father figure Figure to follow n***as doing 25 to life Pay attention to the n***as in the penitentiary'll Be his pen pal not the one that he writes Die young, live fast Your times ticking, do the math A dime-bag plus a 9 millimeter equals 19 years or dead in a blood bath Bullet holes should be tattooed to your soul You lost control, of how your future's told You tattoo your tears, you're too ashamed And you're thinking this rain can, hide the pain in your eyes Too scared to cry And your damn flags, ain't nothing but disguise And shooting, and k**ing yourself with these colors No longer, black and whites become crippled and blooded But I, can remember crayon boxes being segregated We used to paint rainbows, we used to paint faces Bibles were called prophets now we selling crosses just to make profits To rock cannabis stems, then we chop it To get, high hopes cause (?) But gunshots have kidnapped blocks So NBA and NFL dreams are being dropped [Hook]
