In my upper hip
I guess it's time
Why couldn't they just let me be
And all my life has been this way
So he's all alone
One room shack
Didn't have to be here
Who'll make all things fair
Kind of sad
It's getting worser day by day
All your money's gone
Broken home
You junkie, mama cries, you know
I got a Jones
I got to take the pain away
While I was just a nothin' child
From across the track
I'm sorry son
On the alley-back
Would rip her, but I love her so
Thinkin' he's been had
Finance is all that he understands
Mama tired
Where is the mayor
Ghetto child
Runnin' through ma' bones
Can't reason with the pusher man
Control, I'm told
Painful rip
He lives outside
Kind of mad
You didn't have to love for me
Don't care what nobody say
To take another trip
Our polluted air
Let me be, let me be, let me be
You didn't have to love for me
While I was just a nothin' child
Why couldn't they just let me be
Watch a while
Let me be, let me be, let me be
Father gone
In the back of his mind he's sayin'
And I didn't have to be here
You see he never smiles
