...I'm sick of these ghetto stories on Maury
I said, I'm sick of these ghetto stories on Maury
5 babie's daddies and sadly not no person mentions AIDS
No one mentions how HIV is putting Black bodies in graves
'Cause all I hear in these rappers verses
is gun clapping, more Black bodies in hearsts
The truth is y'all, the state is not handing out numbers,
they handing out letters
Judge is not afraid to L I F E, life your behind
I bet you won't be thinking about Jeezy or 50 Cents
while you sitting in a cell watching your life go behind...
With these words I want to light your path
With the heart of an angel and the soul of a rebel...
