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