parallel 1 - victim of the hood lyrics

[verse 1]
i already prayed had to follow-up
seen a lot of rain just growing up
n-gg-s die trying to get their dollars up
like a fresh haircut had to line it up
dealing with stress keep it bottled up
storm clouds in the sky and they’re ominous
i try to do good but its not enough
fireworks for the opps if they come at us
fireworks for the opps if they come at us
aim it then blaze it and light em up
this town’s not big enough for both of us
devils and demons surrounding us
society doesn’t think much of us
not much protection for all of us
even police they murder us
for 400 years you slaughtered us
you taught us we’re nothing
made slaves of our mothers
you raped and you hung us
yet somehow you wonder
why were so troubled
swear you taught us good
so now in the hood
we go at each other
were desperate to come up
road to success we’re so far behind
we l-st for the things that money can buy
in toxic environments trying to survive
you wanna see pain just look in my eyes
17 i was ready to die
and i’m still not scarred to take a life
shooting guns before i learned to drive
you wonder why all these kids are getting high
they can’t articulate what they feel inside
maybe one day i’ll have a child
if i fail just tell em i tried, (shui)

[chorus]
please don’t let me fall out here i’m cursed anyway
we’re already scared don’t make a worst bruise
please don’t let me fall out here i’m cursed anyway
were already scared don’t make a worst bruise
please don’t let me fall out here like so many do
its already hard don’t make a worst move
please don’t let me fall out here like so many do
its already hard

[verse 2]
was messing up in school everyday now
started not to care about the grades now
if we die young then whats the payout
hatas try to test i pull a blade out
no plans living day to day now
hair was always cut i grew my braids out
just an outcast(outkast) singing “hey ya”
had a couple dreams and watched em fade out
girlfriend going both ways now
somewhere with her best friend getting ate out
hopeless you can see it on my face now
out of town with gangstas startin’ to hang out
lost my skateboard don’t even skate now
my whoa used to study out of state now
he just wants some rims and candy paint now
parents hurt not knowing what to say now
you know that my life was out of order
clean me up and wash me in your waters
save my soul from h-ll and all its horrors
bless me with a wife and sons daughters
had a couple issues in new orleans
life expectancy’s a little shorter
scratch my opps names out with a marker
if i start slacking i’ll go harder
kids fight at school and get expelled
13 screaming f-ck 12
girls raising children by themselves
f-cking grow men since she was 12
now her bodys’ all she has to sell
all the ogs locked in jail
homie had pounds on the shelf
chop it like a black karate belt

[ending]
please don’t let me fall out here i’m cursed anyway
we’re already scared don’t make a worst bruise
please don’t let me fall out here i’m cursed anyway
were already scared don’t make a worst bruise
sometimes i felt like god had found somebody new
’cause he doesn’t treat us how he used to
