A place that the whites refer to as a hood
Growing up not learning wrong from good
Not being able to see the evil in people
Man what a world, man what a world, uh yeah
You're Just a young boy, staring at the stars
Wondering if there's any life out there on Mars, just wondering, yeah
But you just gotta take it day by day
Never know when some bastard could blast you away
So that's why I say, uh
Life is crazy, life has so much misery and suffering
And it seems like my God never answers me when I'm calling

Should he know by seven or eight?
'Cause usually by thirteen or fourteen it's late, It's too late!
