Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
In every hood young guns
Are drowning in there own blood
Poor out 40s blaze up a dub
When your showing your homies love
Heavy influence by thugs
Leads to distribution of drugs
When they sentence you it's unjust
Filling institutions with us
In los Angeles
My manuscripts can be found in
Abandon houses
Tagged by the hands of vandals
Read aloud by rotten scoundrels
While kids play in fields
Filled with murals like the sistine chapels
Ironic how their all surrounded
By flowers and catholic candles
Schools teach us to pledge allegiance
To red, white, and blue flags
At recess tag football teams
Split between red and blue rags
And fences surrounding playgrounds
Get more reminiscent of prisons
Many dream of making it out
Most won't see pass city limits
A very small percentage
Lead their families to success
Accede where others fail to excel
What's happening to the rest
Enough to drive someone insane
You tried to leave but was left
Strung out on drugs that numb the Pain
Of pipe dreams and regrets
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
We pray seeking truth from out god
Spend my days on this page
Separating the truth from the lies
Want to change what you do but it's hard
Another day you didn't hustle to get paid
Then you knew you would starve
When your deprived it's what you do to survive
If it's a crime then your forced to live
Your life institutionalized
This day and age is a lucrative time
A terrorist attack away
From waving the constitution goodbye
It's a shame what we do to our minds
Found a way to numb the pain
So we stay drinking booze getting high
Change our name just to prove who we are
Plot on way to get paid
Then we gaze up and shoot for the stars
Hit the stage with the truth in our hearts
Bring amazement you crave just to say
Something crucial and pause
It all come down to who will withdraw
And who will stay true to the cause
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Word has it half of the worlds gone bananas
Acting scandalous and taking advantage
Is how they manage
Worldly evil companions
Love to corrupt causing havoc
Easily provoke when unequal yoked
Creatures of habit
In every area you see
The burden carriers believe
The more the merrier
Till everyone's blazed and fiendish
Or maybe there is just
Too many shady characters
Ready to Barry us
With various ways of scheming
Various way of you believing lies
No one to blame but yourself open your eyes
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
Take a look and it's plain to see
That we're losing our life
Right along with the fight for our soul
And it seems so insane to me
Because we're living our life
Tying to survive in a world that's so cold
