Where You Live By Gun (Where You Die By Gun)
*****************************************
my baby girl asked me
why do they do those things
why do they grow so cruel and uncaring
and I said
it is the poverty baby
be thankful you do not have to understand
because you can not imagine
how it would be to live in the hood
where you live by gun
where you die by gun
until your life is done
where the thought of future's hopeless baby
Where you live in the shadow of the darkness
where to survive you must be heartless
living in a constant alerteness
trying to make it by regardless.
the pain
the sorrow
that never
goes away
where you live by the gun
where you die by the gun
in run down homes
in homeless shelters
with the ones
who fell through the cracks
trying to ease the pain
by getting high
with no money to spare
they know their plight
walking in the dark
in the middle of day
with the shakes from hell
and the help is "just pray"
where you live by gun
where you die by gun
in dilapitated houses
that should have been torn down
years ago
it is the poverty baby
be thankful you do not have to understand
because you can not imagine
how it would be to live in the hood
where you live by gun
where you die by gun
until your life is done
where the thought of future's hopeless baby
Where you live in the shadow of the darkness
where to survive you must be heartless
living in a constant alerteness
trying to make it by regardless.
as the politicians preach on the tv
and accuse you of everything
while raising their own wages
and playing golf in distant country clubs
and everybody around you
is slowly going crazy
because they can not take the pain
but they know there is easy way out
for a little while
getting high
where you live by the gun
where you die by the gun
until your life
is done
where the thought of future's
hopeless
