Lyrics:
SPECIALLY YOU
WRITER RICK BERESFORD
COPYRIGHT 1981
I see the rainbow in your eyes, I see the colors pass me by
I sure like the things my eyes can
about
But I can't help but worry in the back of my mind That I'll turn out just like you
Kids with bright future become adults with dark secrets
I used
Wommer!
ARTHUR: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God
with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for
the night he can
many kids grew up sad but not glad (Like us)
How many
How many
How many
Ohh
How many kids just like me
Had a step daddy (Yes you did yes you did)
cnd
Let me be, let me live, okay
I live my biz who I'm with, what I did
What I did
Why you can't let me live
Just let me live
How you gon hate on a kid
bitch)
These are the tales that I tell so well (Short Dog)
I'm thinking way back, it's been a long long time
In 1980 I wrote my first rhyme
I like
the tales that I tell so well
(Short Dog)
I'm thinkin' way back, it's been a long, long time
In 1980 I wrote my first rhyme
I like to spit a lot of game
But
wheels here
You trying to cut our lights out like we don't live here
Look what was handed us, fathers abandoned us
When we get them hammers, go on call
You ain't living how I live sucka
That's why I flex on niggas
They never did love us
I'm putting checks on niggas
Even my kid's mother
And you ain't
like I care, but I don't really care
Now I live in a new buildin' with amenities
I got a new ceilin' with a chimney
I got a few n- wanna finish me
I
frustrated, cause they want to live like us
Don't want to ride the bus
So with the tail pipe draggin
They choose to ride the wagon
Of a band of rappers who like
me what the race is
It's surreal
They're not real
I put them by their places
See it
They used to call me tricky-kid
I live the life they wish
or fuzz
Why is it, they treat us like dryer lint?
We just want a safe environment for our kids
But can't escape the sirens
Don't take a scientist to see
you too but please dont force us
Mama told me one day imma live it like I am royalty
Looked up and said "bet that by the time you out your fourties"
of redemptive violence ain't taught us much.
We mask it with a banner, of 'In God We Trust'
Never stopping to ask what would it be like if it were us
Truthfully
wheels here
You trying to cut our lights out like we don't live here
Look what was handed us, fathers abandoned us
When we get them hammers, go on call
like us
Say they ready for the funk, but I don't think they knowin'
Straight to the depths of Hell is where those cowards goin'
Well, are you still
like us
Say they ready for the funk, but I don't think they knowin'
Straight to the depths of Hell is where those cowards goin'
Well, are you still
a halt or
Their society aborts
1981 President Reagan and the pope face assassins'
Bullets and escape with their lives.
But in Cairo Sadat dies in a hail
than 2 seats
Teach dem kids how to behave
And we them to believe
I'ma Dad!
Round da clock 24 / 7
I'm dat D A DD Y
My code name I live by
They be like
And are making some nice figures like a gym will do And like Sandra Bland, my band be changing lanes Without a signal at all, now you want us to hang? You
kids too (I want kids too)
She want kids
I want kids too (I want kids too)
You know what I'm saying like
You wanna live I wanna live
You wanna have kids
Life, what the fuck is life for niggas like us?
Been waking up to another muthafuckin' day
I'm the type of soldier,
A nigga that seen
Life, what the f*** is life for n****s like us?
Been waking up to another muthaf***in' day
I'm the type of soldier,
A n**** that seen
