I cannot get over legitimately, the reality Of my surroundings do not point to the sky So why should I even try (when there's nuthin' out there to be) I cannot grow up to be the president Where only drug dealers own Mercedes Benz If you tell me otherwise it will only look like lies (when there's Nothing out there for me) Your education will do me no good In my neighborhood All that I see is scrapin' and scrounging In my neighborhood If you can show me how to do good In my neighborhood Maybe I discontinue my lounging in my neighborhood So many millions feel this strong All these people can't be wrong
You should surely know this was a long time coming, You should Know the effects were numbing you should know that yesterday
You may have had a chance to stop things before they start You may have had a chance but it's too late because it's fallen apart

You beat me, mistreat me and you beat me Rip my heart out please and then you get angry when I die It's a pile of shit in your sugar shack And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting So I can drag it more all across the floor
It's a pile of shit in the White House And I'm gonna step on in when I'm visiting So I can drag it more all across the flag
