(Either they don't know, don't show, or don't care about what's going on in the hood)
[Intro - Chingy]:
Uh huh, yeah
Uh, yeah, yeah this your boy chingaling man
Need to talk to the world real quick, talk to em man
You know we got a lot of problems going on in the inner city, in the ghetto, in the hood
They ain't hearin you, ain't nobody touchin on
Democrats, Republicans, all those folks
You know they don't care what's going on in the ghetto anyway
[Verse 1 - Chingy]:
Errday I wake up with a regular mentality
But I'm a target on the street and that's just reality
Cats in the ghetto ain't never had a high salary
Except makin deals and selling blow in the alley
See the system was made for us to fail,
Look at the jails
Overpopulated with Mexicans and young black males
I ain't tellin the tale, so we choose heaven or hell
Don't care about letters from school, we'd rather get street mail
I been a witness to some murders, snitchin I do without it
But then I wonder why the damn police don't do nothing about it
Go to the unemployment office, hell yeah it's crowded
Our hoods takin wrong turns now it's time to reroute it
I know a lil dude, 13, carry a burner
Dropped out of school teacher, said he wasn't a fast learner
Sometimes I wonder in 20 years I wonder where we gon be
When I say we, I mean my black community, ya digg
[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]:
They don't know, how it feels to hurt so long
Cause they never walked in these shoes
And they never had to cry these blues
How many men, turn their back on us so long
Always say what they gon do, but they never seem to come through
[Verse 2 - Chingy]:
Pardon my French but I don't think we ready for a lady president
It's evident that it's a mans world so that's irrelevant
The system think we all niggas and we not intellegent
But Martin Luther and Malcolm taught me before I'm heavensent
The girls havin kids and they still some kids
Poppin them out one after another like that's what it is
It's innocent cats doin bizz, they just tryin to live
And the police don't even know if the crime they did
It's got my brain in a twist, so I'm twistin a leaf
On my balcony smokin and drinkin trying to see some relief
If I can change our neighborhoods I would, put that on me
This world messed up, and that Stevie Wonder can see
So to my dawgs locked down set ya mind free
Cause you and I don't even believe you can get your degree
Sometimes I wonder in 20 years where we gon be
And when I say we, I mean my black community, let's go
[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]:
They don't know, how it feels to hurt so long
Cause they never walked in these shoes
And they never had to cry these blues
How many men, turn their back on us so long
Always say what they gon do, but they never seem to come through
[Verse 3 - Chingy]:
I twist the cap off the bottle
Take a sip and see tomorrow
Like Pac, wash away the sorrow
While police hit the block, I be up all night, askin god for the truth
He told me thinking translated in my own words in the booth
Try to reach the youth,
Cause that's what matters today
I ain't too religious but I get on my knees and pray
Sometimes I wonder in 20 years where we gon be
I ain't gotta wonder no more, my people rollin with me, yeah
[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]:
They don't know, how it feels to hurt so long
Cause they never walked in these shoes
And they never had to cry these blues
How many men, turn their back on us so long
Always say what they gon do, but they never seem to come through
[Outro]:
Yeah, they'll never come through (wo oh oh)
They don't know about this thing
