(. i think underground is
whatever
your mood or your feelings might be at the time
so long as it's the truth. truth. truth.)
i could tell the pimped-est story
about street homicide
and make it sound gory
cause you know
shit be happenin everyday
and then on the weekends twice as much shit comes into play
so i better watch my back or
i might get caught up
in a fuckin crack war
so i use the back door
cause the front ain't safe
seven different brothers got stuck and i don't wanna be the eighth
don't make no sense
walkin through my own neighborhood i feel tense
don't wanna carry no gun
cause the cops be stoppin us
and pattin us down just for fun
so
the only protection i got
is my smitties
but how many kids get shot
fuckin that throw up your hands shit
and fight like a man but he don't get to land shit
not one punch
the only hit
was when his head hit the concrete
got knocked clean off his feet
got a lot of blood on they shoes
but they got that rolex
and jumped in the cruise
late model sedan
either blue or black
was the only description
no plates in the back
i know one thing
they ain't from around here
but what block would dare to come down here
stickin up shit
must be new jacks
trying to get a rep
they better watch they backs
)
they better watch they backs!
cause my man shiloh
is out on the prowl
with some east medina
brothers that's foul
lookin to protect
the streets that our mothers
have to walk on
from black young brothers
it's bad enough
that if i walk through a white
neighborhood
that
i gotta be prepared for a fight
why should i be scared of the dark?
scared on a brother that be lurkin in the park
i oughta be safe in a black neighborhood
but someone's always up to no good
niggas ain't never gonna make no progress
killin one another
but you know i guess
i'm feelin thirsty
i'm goin to the store
if anybody calls
i went to the store!
walkin down the
