late model sedan

Singer: masta ace

(. 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
