Jus another emcee comin from the SoCal! Jus doin this all as a hobby and for the love of the art.
i do this stuff from home. my first few songs i just used already made beats, stuff from smilez & southstar, the liks, etc. but the new ones, im trying to find time to actually composed the beat to it as well as just writing the song.
Story behind the song
things that ive learned since my car accident taught me that live is too short to live in a negative way.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
when things get so hard you dont wanna go on
you should think that your lucky waking up in mornin
you coulda died list night in your sleep
dont take that granted, cuz life aint cheap
people live and die each and every day
mothers and fathers without even the chance to say
that they love their kids, before they pass
cuz life aint a brick, its a piece of glass
so fragile, so thin, so why the fuck we play around
slangin rocks on the corner, spreadin blood on the ground
shootin motha fuckas cuz they from a different hood?
its juss so wrong, but its not understood.
what kinda life is that, livin on the streets?
slangin and bangin, juss to get a little bit to eat
if this is the land of the free and opportunity?
y so many out there, holdin us down, you and me? (and its...)
Chorus:
so wrong... people dying in the streets
so wrong... children with no where to sleep
so wrong... hustlas sellin to you and me
so wrong... elders with nothin to eat
so wrong... businesses runnin underground
so wrong... terrorism still all around
so wrong... innocents buried in the ground
so wrong... really makes my heart wanna pound
Verse 2:
if lifes so great, then y the fuck we do the things we do?
i guess to appreciate, the worst gotta come to you.
we all one people here on this ground
though as one, we seem lost and not found
you my friend, you my sista, you my brotha
you my enemy, you my fatha, you my motha
you my comrade, you my partna, you my closest kin
everybody is the same, no matter the skin
so y the fuck we look at people and prejudice?
why the fuck every bullet juss cant miss?
why the fuck we got our people livin like this?
why the fuck cant we all juss look for happiness?
i tell you why, juss take one look around
pick anyone from the street, do you think with you they gon be down?
nah, hell nah, because thats the nature of man
human nature is fucked up, but yo i got a plan
Chorus:
so wrong... people dying in the streets
so wrong... children with no where to sleep
so wrong... hustlas sellin to you and me
so wrong... elders with nothin to eat
so wrong... businesses runnin underground
so wrong... terrorism still all around
so wrong... innocents buried in the ground
so wrong... really makes my heart wanna pound
Verse 3:
back when i looked through the eyes of a young child
i remember things were juss so innocent, not so wild
i never knew about the bullshit in life
i never knew about rocks in glass pipes
i never knew that shit was so bad
i never knew people grew up with no dads
i never knew otha nations are fallin apart
but see, as a kid, you juss have a clean start
we gotta keep it this way, we gotta educate
we gotta show our young ones how to live juse a better way
we gotta let em know that this shits so real
and we gotta know let em know juss how to deal
teach them right from wrong, teach them how to get along
teach them to prevail in life, you gotta be strong
teach them about the real world, but show em how to make it better
and teach em that we really gotta work together
Chorus:
so wrong... people dying in the streets
so wrong... children with no where to sleep
so wrong... hustlas sellin to you and me
so wrong... elders with nothin to eat
so wrong... businesses runnin underground
so wrong... terrorism still all around
so wrong... innocents buried in the ground
so wrong... really makes my heart wanna pound
Verse 4:
see, the kids in this world, they gonna grow up
so aint it better to have a childhood that wasnt tore up?
cuz they gonna be the ones to keep our people goin
they gonna be the ones to keep our planet growin
now, i dont knoe about you, but somethin's gotta change
sooner or later, fuck, i dont care, its juss gotta change
and i aint talkin bout our cities and towns
im talkin bout the whole world, all the way around
we got, wars in iraq and mad terrorism
and even in our day and age, terrible racism
we got
