[00:00.000] 作曲 : OG Boo Dirty/Akon
[00:16.561] Mama hold her head and cry
[00:21.712] 'Cause her son had been shot down in the streets and died
[00:28.167] "Oh why? Oh why?", is what she cry, she cry
[00:39.821] The biggest problems in the city
[00:42.791] Is them daddies ain't there
[00:45.570] And if it ain't about the money
[00:48.473] Then nobody don't care
[00:51.173] And then spoke to an OG
[00:53.249] He tried to mentor me, he said:
[00:55.082] "Boy, these streets will suck the love right out your heart
[00:59.412] So don't believe that bullshit"
[01:02.452] You know goddamn well this system ain't for us (Oh, no no no)
[01:08.211] And you know goddamn well the president don't love us (Oh, no no no)
[01:11.694] Sinking down to the ground on the ghettos and we can't get no lower
[01:17.172] So I'm askin' God how do we dig ourselves out if when we can't afford the shovel
[01:24.710] If there's a problem in the hood, everybody come together just to solve that problem
[01:30.419] But that's the problem in the hood, nobody comes together unless you involve violence
[01:36.055] 'Cause we was taught to be the tough guys and was told to just remain silent
[01:40.969] But then you got them niggas telling on the next guy
[01:43.772] Instead of tellin' 'em what it takes to solve it
[01:47.216] Is there a problem that I don't know about? (Oh, no no no)
[01:52.319] Is there a problem that I haven't heard about? (Oh, no no no)
[01:57.817] 'Cause I speak of kids robbing each other, pimps, prostitutes and drug dealers
[02:02.739] We won't get much further unless we start helping each other
[02:07.070] But them non believers will thank
[02:09.820] You know goddamn well this system ain't for us (Oh, no no no)
[02:15.204] And you know goddamn well the president don't love us (Oh, no no no)
[02:18.826] We're sinking down to the ground on the ghettos and we can't get no lower
[02:24.668] So I'm askin' God how do we dig ourselves out if when we can't afford the shovel
[02:31.498] We were 16 brothers with no father around
[02:34.300] I was 16, 14 robberies now
[02:37.055] Two went to school and got a degree
[02:39.931] One went to jail, the other ones' stuck in the streets
[02:42.752] Damn, so nobody really made it out
[02:45.407] [?] sell a brick just to build a house
[02:48.364] Momma working two jobs while babysitting hard
[02:50.800] Ain't even seen my dad when we was in a drill
[02:53.808] Like crazy can't dig since we don't have a shovel
[02:56.729] And now the hoes around digging me with no shovel
[02:59.509] [?]
[03:02.071] No Rihanna in the rain, somebody grab my umbrella, yeah
[03:04.456] Mama hold her head and cry
[03:09.961] 'Cause her son had been shot down by police and died
[03:16.741] "Oh why? Oh why?", is what she cry, she cry
[03:27.301] Mama hold her head and cry
[03:32.546] 'Cause her son had been shot down by police and died
