[00:20.02]Sing it 'em to real quick, yo
[03:12.50][01:47.19][00:21.90]Like to keep my head up to the sky
[03:16.26][01:50.96][00:25.81]And ask myself, why, it has to be this way
[03:42.95][03:21.78][02:17.44][01:56.09][00:52.31][00:30.82]I'd like to live my life in peace
[03:46.74][03:25.33][02:21.18][01:59.93][00:55.93][00:34.66]And have, not to worry about
[03:50.23][03:27.89][02:24.65][02:03.71][00:59.60][00:37.93]All the drama, I can't take
[03:32.54][02:07.24][00:42.17]Cuz we strive for luxury
[03:35.68][02:10.21][00:44.94]And try to feed our families
[03:38.77][02:12.86][00:47.51]It always seems that someone seen our way
[01:03.33]I met a young brother, about 28
[01:06.73]Who seemed intelligent and rather quite straight
[01:09.51]I greeted him, and struck a conversation
[01:12.17]To see if the youngster had some self motivation
[01:14.77]Peace brother, whats your name? How you be?
[01:18.10](I'm Rugged Monk and I'm all about the currency)
[01:20.45]You mean gettin' paid?
[01:21.66]Yeah like my man's brother
[01:23.36]Who has a condo, he shares with his baby mother
[01:25.63]You know a condo beats my apartment
[01:28.36]With no lights, no gas and backed up rent
[01:31.10]No hot water or heat, infested with plenty rats
[01:34.29]That'll eat up the average alley cat
[01:36.63](I'm like damn, homey, thats poverty, he's like)
[01:40.17]Word O.G. that bothers me
[01:41.94]Plus I'm about to be a new father, G
[01:44.92](We need to wise up and change the hood policy)
[02:28.45]Yo, why you fear the devil, as a grown man?
[02:32.28]Why you not out there trying to make your own plan?
[02:34.93]See we are a victim, of a situation
[02:37.69]Where a wicked man, separated the nation
[02:40.76]And got us killin' off one another
[02:43.09]Black on black, they pit brother on brother
[02:45.55]It's gettin' hot, hotter than July
[02:48.18]See the murder and crime rate is risin' to the sky
[02:50.84](For example, in my neighborhood it's so hot
[02:53.66]I'm often woke up, from the alarming sounding of a shot, so I'm thinking what)
[02:56.92]Is your neighborhood a trap?
[02:59.04]{Could this be the place marked X on the map?}
[03:01.59](And I'm spotted like a target in a shooting gallery
[03:04.29]So I strive to seek for a better salary
[03:06.93]So I can escape from where? From this ghetto life area
[03:09.98]{Cuz everyday it gets scarier}
