Dead Presidents Freestle

The streets like living in hell
Fuck knows what living in jails like
I'm living alright so I can help, right?
I felt like I was set up just to fail, right?
But I'm the truth
The media they love to tell lies
I still write about all the shit I seen too
Unfortunate, kids lost parents and
Forced to quit
School just to hold the fam down
Be the man now
Money's too slow fuck waiting for handouts
That's the long and short of it
But people only see the crime
Don't see the cause of it
Misunderstood so we lift up
Our hoods to rebel, like fuck the government
The teens
All they really need is some encouragement
Don't give, then they'll take it
An attitude defilement created
But I'll agree that really ain't the way kid
But if I can see, why can't they say?
I ain't saying I should lead
But why can't they?
I'm out for the Queens head to represent me
But for the mean time
These lines will represent the streets
I'm out for Jesus to represent me
Cause I see what the police
Did to Pac and BIG
Don't shoot the messenger I just
Deliver the harsh lines
Do you really think paper can
Erase all the hard times?
As if racism is just a thing of the past time
I still get hassled when
The business class line
