Times goes by Giving but denied Cause living in this ghetto is a crime And you know that got me It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble It got me crazy how my people live to struggle (What my people sing?) Born and raised I was a victim of the streets While torn and crazed inside this system that we see See I struggled for days to try to set my people free But in so many ways that mountain high and way too steep Because the ghetto be the creek for our people to bleed There is a higher-powered breach to keep our people in need They say my music is a mischief, sanction of hate That's why they turn the other cheek, in the wake of my say Specific candor of words, foreclosed homes Jobs being shifted out of state solely gone But yet we're killing up our own, so who can you blame? A genocide that's clearly shown we need our people to change In a strange range turn of events, they tried to circumvent The underlying plan to make our people extinct It's not a racist underhand I'm sourcing skill with the facts So maybe now you'll understand, how it feels to be black I sing... Times goes by Giving but denied Cause living in this ghetto is a crime And you know that got me It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble It got me crazy how my people live to struggle Times goes by Giving but denied Cause living in this ghetto is a crime And you know that got me It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble It got me crazy how my people live to struggle Sometimes you never know what they pitch I struggled so hard all my life, so I deserve to be rich It's such a bitch when you're looking in the mirror and the fear hit YA It's a curse to be real and that's the clear picture Took some time to heal living through my broken past When I think about the childhood that I never truly had Never knew my dad and I never knew my mom So I choose the pen and pad when I want to ease & calm Cause the ghetto is a prison for the children of god You see that kid selling dope he has no fear in his heart... I write my music in further scope, I'm not teaching to kill They're not wanting us to hope and I'm just keeping it real So I put a gun up to my throat and I solemnly swear That every word from Rio's quote, was only because I truly cared Hoping god can hear my prayers I don't think he knows it's me A conscious mind that's unprepared & right before I go to sleep I scream Times goes by Giving but denied Cause living in this ghetto is a crime And you know that got me It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble It got me crazy how my people live to struggle (What my people sing?) Times goes by Giving but denied Cause living in this ghetto is a crime And you know that got me It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble It got me crazy how my people live to struggle I sold my soul to the devil and my gain was cheap And yo it's cold on this level, but I retained my reach The freedom in America to speak to the youth Ayo it's right there in front of you I stick to the truth You see the guns being sold in the hood And more & more liquor stores opening in the hood And more fried chicken stores opening in the hood The three deadly cores that don't do our people good Now they're moving all the poor to the burbs, Another crime is getting served Another yellow tape line that they cling on the curve Hoping you can sing my words, that is the real strategy You already heard being black is such a tragedy It steady rattles me I'll write a song to the beast So you can hear it playing all over these streets It's not a racist underhand I'm sourcing skill with the facts So maybe now you'll understand, how it feels to be black I'm saying Times goes by Giving but denied Cause living in this ghetto is a crime And you know that got me It got me crazy how this evil gives us trouble It got me crazy how my people live to struggle (What my people sing?) Dedicated to my people in Chicago, good old folks!
