[intro: stat quo]
yea’! uh, uh, uh!
uh, uh, uh uh uh uh!
sing the song now, uh!
yea’!
hah’!
all my n-gg-z in the muhf-ckin’ struggle…
uh, uh!
let me talk to you!
[stat quo (antonio mclendon):]
we from the ghetto. – born in the bullsh-t.
preacher in the pulpit, granny need a lil’ fix. (whooohhhooohhhoooo!)
blood pressure high, work a job, no benefit! (oooh, yeeah!)
whip repo’d, now it’s back to the dealership. (yeeah, yeeah!)
tryna play the game, gettin played like instruments (yeeeah, yeeeah!)
on the fence in my defense, make a mile out an inch. (oggg, yeeah!)
momma said the devil in my soul, i should repent;
my dawg lost his daughter, say he ain’t seen god since! (ohhhhhohhh!)
said: “look, bro’! – listen, bro’! – ya ain’t makin’ sense! ”
he replied: “you’re right.” – pockets full of lint. (ohhhh!)
willie lynch hung sh-t, hint hint. (ohhhhh!)
the root of all evil, now i know what they meant!
to my dawgs in flint hustlin’ to pay they rent (yeeeeahhhhhhhhh!)
thomasville heights all night in a trench (yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh!)
f-ckin’ with the junkies or 9-2-5 on a bench,
clockin in’, clockin’ out, like: “where time went? ” – d-mn… yea’!
[chorus: antonio mclendon {stat quo}]
i come up haaard. – hard, baby.
but what don’t kill you makes you stroonger!
but i come too faar! (faaar!) far, baby.
to watch tears drop from yo’ hunger. (huunger!)
as long as we keep on grindin’. (ohhhh!) – keep on tryin’! (ohhh!)
wishing’s not enough! (wishing’s not enouuugh!)
to change our situation {uh!} – time is wastin’! {ghetto u.s.a.!}
we got to come up! (we got to come uuuup!)
[stat quo:]
i keep tryna get ahead – but the fact still remain (oooh, oooooh!)
every dime i make it take half of my change! (wooooooo!)
ain’t nuttin change, same fight, same ring, (yeeeah!)
but it ain’t pay-per-view, it’s a survival thing. (ooooh, baby!)
some slang green pills, crank and ‘caine
some b-tches strip and gold-dig’ and wh-r- to maintain! (oooooohhhh-oooooohhh, yeeeeeah!)
my aunt just lost her job, here this sh-t go again!
couldn’t pay her bills, she put a bullet in her brain! (ooooh, oooohhh!)
her chil’en in the same house livin’ with the stains
on the wall – can’t afford to move, what a shame! (ooohhh, oooohh, oooooooohhhhhhhh!)
sh-t done drove my uncle insane,
he talkin’ to himself thinkin he the one to blame! (hhmmmmm!)
got seduced by the boy, shootin trouble in his veins. (uh-oooohh!)
wanted the pleasure, became a slave to the pain! (ooohhh!)
livin’ in the streets, died drowned by the rain
his life down in two’s, his blood flowin through the drains. – d-mn… yea’!
[chorus: antonio mclendon {stat quo}]
i come up haaard. – hard, baby.
but what don’t kill you makes you stroonger!
but i come too faar! (faaar!) far, baby.
to watch tears drop from yo’ hunger. (huunger!) {yeeeeah!}
as long as we keep on grindin’. (ohhhh!) – keep on tryin’! (ohhh!) {let’s go!}
wishing’s not enough! (wishing’s not enouuugh!)
to change our situation {uh!} – time is wastin’!
we got to come up! (we got to come uuuup!)
[outro: stat quo]
now or never!
now… and forever!
yeah!
every n-gg- in the struggle!
ohh!
yea’!
