| I'm Saying This Because Due 2 The Fact |
| Written by Lorenzo L. Anderson |
| Long nights looking at the stars |
| Cries from our souls seek |
| Going out to Mars |
| People corrupted in their own religion |
| But not focused on realist |
| Down you when you do good |
| How about more support for the hood |
| And you wonder why we people still here |
| Helping folks seem to be the real fear |
| If you haven't realized we need to work together to make things better |
| For the youth, so they better than a dealer, hoe, prisoner, or a gang-banger |
| Tired of seeing our own people underground and chained down |
| n |
| I'm saying this because ya'll need to hear this |
| World needs to change |
| Stop doing this dumb sh!t |
| They say we have freedom, but I still feel trapped |
| Racism still goes on and it is beyond the Blacks |
| We claim to be good, but won't step foot in a church door |
| Don't know why the rich won't help the poor |
| Tired seeing homeless people sleeping on the floor |
| You wonder why they ask for a quarter or more |
| Why the hell we still at war? |
| This place needs a change |
| We do what we need to do to make a little change |
| Hustling, selling rocks, hoeing, it's all the same |
| Schools fail to do their job |
| So we choose to gang-bang |
| To the ghettoes to the cities |
| This is what I see |
| We do what we can do for our families |
| Convicts can' t get no job |
| So they go back to the street, looking to rob |
| It's sad, but that's the way it is |
| Quick money, sirens, stress, that's the way we live |
| We're so divided it's all torn apart |
| It's hard to re-patch it with your eyes open in the dark |
| Government got all the money |
| How about giving some back to the families |
| If I ain"t speaking the truth than someone should smoke me |
| We fight over oil, as our country continues to spoil |
| We done invaded these people's homes |
| No telling when soldiers coming home |
| Billions, trillions of dollars to send people into space |
| All that money could be used to find a cure for AIDS |
| Or find a homeless person a place |
| Give it a brand new taste |
| How about changing a face |
| Of the young-ins in juve or the ol' heads in the pin |
| Give them an opportunity so they won't do it again |
| Turn my volume low |
| Five seconds, moment of silence |
| For those that Rest In Peace and those who can't see life no more |
