Mamas raising boys to men
17 and a young one - ten
She wants for them what she don't have
Baby keeps on listening, brother keeps on being bad
Who told him, that this is what to do, young man?
Surely not that mama, she's left feeling sad
When the news comes, that her son
Died from being on the wrong side of a gun, ooh

Look at how we're living, look at how we're living
Look at how we're living our lives

Candy's watching videos
Thinking that's how love goes
You give it up, or be called a tease
Now she got a couple of babies and a strange disease

Look at how we're living, look at how we're living
Look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living, are we really living
Look at how we're living to die

And children did you believe like I
That only natural human rite is to be paralyzed
Don't let the sun set on you darlin'
Come on rise, baby, rise it's gonna be alright

Look at how we're living, check out how we're living
Are you living, are you living, are you living
Just wanna say, 2 wrongs never make a right
The only victims here are you and I baby

Look at how we're living, look at how we're living, hey
Look at how we're living, look at how we're living
Look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living, are we really living
Look at how we're living to die

Look at how we're living, look at how we're living in
Look at how we're living our lives
Is this really living, are we really living in
Look at how we're living to die

Look at how we're living, look at how we're living
Check your world y'all, we are
