It’s Time

Things seem so unfair the way the cards fall Don’t have a yard much less the whole nine yards with every black that gets the dough to start moving up you see the whites packing up to move away from us And now the suburbs are the ghettos and the inner cities is renovated with lofts and looking nice and pretty Because our ghettos really all inside our minds yo If we can sort it out its crazy what we’ll find yo rewind yo There’s no way I’m gonna Give up right now We gotta push thru some way & some how I wanna live for good in every way And start a new slate with every day I ask God for the meaning of life Out in the streets It’s like were rollin’ the dice It seems our heroes are dying away And so it’s time it’s time! I’ve been around for minute now I Seen you go I see you come and see you hanging out People living to die until they it the pavement The Bigger they head the less need for steady aiming We see the hood and the need for some major changing We see the church and the need for some rearranging On every corner there’s one but still cant see the sun If he was walking amongst us would he walk in one the dumpsters is where he hung and drunkards is who he won Daughters and sons being raised by TV and they streets ain’t sesame they young kids are wrestling with who they are it’s our duty to address there things I’m not trying to diss but we all got to deal this Radio play this realness things is killing us you feeling us? There’s no way I’m gonna Give up right now We gotta push thru some way & some how I wanna live for good in every way And start a new slate with every day I ask God for the meaning of life Out in the streets It’s like were rollin’ the dice It seems our heroes are dying away And so it’s time it’s time! Thugs writing love letters up in Detention homes To the girl dat at the time they only used to bone. But now they see her in a different light a different way Cuz steel bars tend to turn your mind to different things Decisions are like bills that we all have to pay Can speak loud on credit but debts a breath away! Cuz when your rep is like confetti it’s messy Next day dey repossessing yo nest eggs
