Dear God
Oh why, does it have to be this way
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?
If I die before I wake
Oh why, does it have to be this way
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
Oh why, children send your child off to die
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin'
Let the children hear when thugs cry
God is gone, when thugs cry, too much is hard
I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all
Niggaz I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
Leavin motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood
To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Oh why, children send your child off to die
Don't get along with yo' Pop, and plus your Moms is gone
But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
I got a line on the DA 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary
Dear God
I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone
They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all
Makin yo' people disappear, you wonderin' where they went?
Smoke a pound of Marijuana, so I know it ain't long
Big money clutchin', bustin' while evadin' cocaine busts
Oh why, does it have to be this way
'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don
Addicted to these streets, never find true peace I'm told
Dear God, oh why
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?
They even raped so we blazed they pad
Regulate my area, the terror I represent
See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry
They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
Clownin' takin' pictures later
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Laugh bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches
I'll probably be an old man before I understand why
Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer
But still homie keep it real, how does it feel
Our children of today won't stay wise
Dear God
The coppers wanna see me buried, I ain't worried
And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures
So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams
Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up
Dear God, oh why
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
Oh why, children send your child off to die
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Our children of today won't stay wise
Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Where is the love? never quit my ambition to thug
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Lost all my homies over cocaine, man
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Let the children hear when thugs cry
You all alone, no communication, block on the phone
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry
Heh, maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'
Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family
Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?
We went from brothers and sisters, to niggaz and bitches
Our children of today won't stay wise
Our children of today won't stay wise
In the streets of chalk where they lie
They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin'
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Oh why, does it have to be this way
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
In the streets of chalk where they lie
We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches
Dear God, oh why
Dear God
Oh why, children send your child off to die
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song
Bustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures
Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?
My pulse rushin', send my pulses into insanity
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad
