Innocent Youth

“Time to lay down. Time to lay down...”
Look, riding through my city with no windows up
Pistol by the gut, okay, my ***** keep it tucked
He don't give no ****, for me any one can touch
I try to keep the peace
The street s*it that he loves, Lord
Put a prez out for niggers, them out
So his momma don't worry about his where abouts
Cuz the police don't see the kid now
You get shot with your hands in the air now
Whats it to question his body with holes
Had the potential to stop where he goes
Devil paid cash for all of our souls
These are the losin they dine'n on your bro
Whoah
Back in this *****
He was sold, if gonna get stacked or get rich
Hustle'n drugs by bottles and clubs but ****** don't know that they can lay in the
ditch
Plead'n the fifth like he wouldn't snitch
Never would know how evil it gets
Locked in his cell, feed'n the fists, at this point in time he's eating the s*it
Uh, im lookin out for the young ******
The ones who got dreams of being drug dealers
Start ****** O.Gs showin love *****
You get hyped so you start thinkin' they was with you
Wrong, all part of the game, thats they get for the hunger of pay
Never take slugs that are sold in your name
These young kids lost, its a god damn shame my *****
(I know they can feel it in their souls baby)
(Ain't no love cuz the hood is so cold baby)
(Sneaking out cuz I just want them to know baby)
(Now they know baby)
(Yeah, yeah, money all on their minds, they just try'n to get rich)
(See it all the time, man im so tired of this s*it, okay)
(Money all on their minds they just try'n to get rich)
(See it all the time, man im so tired of this s*it my nigger)
Think'n bout my niece she take my pain away
Lord I'm pray'n through these hard times I don't fade away
You can go like any day, ****** know and they afraid
I didn't had enough im a say to my amazing grace, yeah
I hear it now, I hear it now
Are you livin' in the hood are you around, you around?
Do you see it nigger when it's goin' down, goin' down?
And I heard they start'n up, just quit it now, quit it now
No way
Feel like im pen'n a new testiment
Only God can judge, **** yall ****** and yall settlements
Devil knock'n on my door, few times had to let him in
Them ****** know my daddy's phone
It's time to go to hell again
Yeah, cuz when I see them it's not safe, Imma run up give 'em two
Leave 'em bruised by the park lights
Now im not think'n right, shouldn't take the risk
But im just a young nigger thats trapped in the abyss
One time
(I know they can feel it in their souls baby)
(Ain't no love cuz the hood is so cold baby)
(Sneaking out just cuz I want them to know baby)
(Now they know baby)
(Yeah, yeah, money all on their minds, they just try'n to get rich)
(See it all the time, man im so tired of this s*it, okay)
(Money all on their minds, they just try'n to get rich)
(See it all the time, man im so tired of this s*it my ******)
