Wordsworth - What We Gonna Do? lyrics

Yeah Let's get into it... For my people around the way (way, way) For my people around the way (way) Yo New York, Brooklyn born, mornin' to evening Whether warm or its freezin', people stay schemin' all season Walls with graffiti, homeless rush your car with a squeegee Ask you with signs, and try to pump your gas for a dime Worse places, sinners that hold church sacred And curse Satan, praying they do their dirt safest Pretenders, worst cases, friends since first-graders Turned traitors, talkin on TV with blurred faces But women had Words anxious, before I knew what first or second or third base is Words was flirtatious Bus trips, Six Flags, Blueberry common Looks change they outlooks, readin' books that's Islamic Acquire knowledge, and haters stay looking to comment Cuz you make moves and they on the stoop cuz they ain't do what they promised Health issues got you scared, so you don't wanna go To the the doctor, cuz if you got something, you don't wanna know (I ain't gonna get checked out) White tees long like dresses, you booked and questioned Shook witnesses, don't get good looks they guessin' Old-timers, radio with the Commodores jammin' Playing checkers, chess, backgammon, domino slammin' In the shade, negativity is normal on the news And your parents been here so long they don't wanna move From these harbors a girl whose father that used to harm her will write a saga And be the next best selling author (Hook) Headlines Knicks lose, drug bust, city gets sued Kid shoots up a school, what we gonna do? Headlines Suicides, less jobs, government lies Kids crime on the rise, what we gonna do? Headlines War overseas, man mugged on the train Kid stabbed for his chain, what we gonna do? Headlines Lord knows, the kids have gotten out of control What we gonna do? Barely news, kids missin', bodies are found Kids babysittin' kids til the apartment burns down You fifteen, look twenty, twenty, look thirty Lips purple, smokin' eyes with dark circles lookin' worried Bodegas let you slide, owin' a quarter, the new order At the window after closin' the store up Loosies and liquor House parties, you out front watching the women Cuz anything with food the block trying to get in Got on a suit, had an interview At a funeral a jersey and some tennis shoes Depends on what they meant to you, jeans and some winter boots None of us invincible, somehow its sensible You hard from them fingerprintin' you Females mature faster than men And they mom would think they behind From how they clothes attach to they skin Underage guys give them caskets a spin Security maximum, pens practice Its all happening then Headlines Knicks lose, drug bust, city gets sued Kid shoots up a school, what we gonna do? Headlines Suicides, less jobs, government lies Kids crime on the rise, what we gonna do? Headlines War overseas, man mugged on the train Kid stabbed for his chain, what we gonna do? Headlines Lord knows, the kids have gotten out of control What we gonna do?
