Ugly Truth

 Take the guns and drugs away from my neighborhood and then you leave us with nothing.Cause that's the only thing we know how to do is tote guns, sell drugs, pimpin and thuggin.

Every corner on the block, theres a kid sellin rocks, black vans with glocks, shooting up every little shop we got. Police always riding around cause the streets are hot.

And the white man just laughing at us for killing our own kind, cause we're so twisted in the mind.

Feeling like a puppet and the devil is Geppeto and he lead us to the ghetto.Tossed us trains filled with guns and ammo.

Took all the fathers and now ther's no one to raise the sons and stop them from shooting each other with the same weapons that the slave masters used to kill us with when we tried to run.

We've been free so why are we still be treated like slave with shackles on our feet, Cutting our mothers pay and now she can't provide food for us to eat. So now we out here in the street, splitting into groups by colors and starting beef. Leaving another mom to cry cause you took her sons life, and now the government has you incarcerated and labled as a thief.

Now you in jail recruiting goons sounds like slaves to me. And your there master thats why they calling you OG.

You got kids the age of 12 strapped up with AK's around their body. Banana clips in their hand, snatching old lady purses as they hobby. Kids busting out in gang fights in the middle of the school lobby. Crack feinds known for getting beat and now they walking around with tommys.

Breakking Windows, kicking down doors, not knowing which is worst the gunshots at night or the roach infested floors. Or the fact that you got young girls walking the streets at night trying to fill the life of being a whore. Cause that's the only way she know how to get money, selliong her body cause her familys poor.

Alcoholic dads beating on kids they wish they never had. 2 weeks later kids on the news shooting up schools cause they were so sad.

Sagging pants, baggy clothes, posted out in front of liquor stores. Homeless people walking cause they have no where else to go.

This is what you'll find in a black neighborhood, cause the government treats us like chickens in a coop. And we never get to share our story, so the government tells lies. And were forced to live with the 'Ugly Truth"
