Life

[Intro: TV News cast]
"In breaking news, 7 people dead, 35 wounded after another suicide bomber strikes at a bus stop in Northern Jerusalem"
"Anthrax was found [?]"
"Breaking news, The Twin Towers of Manhattan have just collapsed after being struck buy two unidentified planes"

[Dogmatic]
Ghetto children
It's a different world
It's more scandalous everyday
But they dont really care about us

[Verse 1: Dogmatic]
No more picket fences, no more green grass
No more children playing outside, no more mom and dad
Things are different, no more birthday gifts and good deeds that
People do for nothing, It's all about something
Is it drugs? Is it sex, is it money? (I don't know)
Is real life television supposed to be funny?
Yo' it's funny what we find to entertain ourselves
Yo' it's funny how we got here and changed ourselves
Are we going to Hell or are we already here? (Damn)
Locked down in the cell with 10 tattooed tears niggas
Swallow your fears, we in the present building a future
Can't go back to yesterday, now I gots to shoot ya
They say its politics but it's streets shit to me
"Its all about politics" You can't tell that shit to a G
Nigga please, my dogs ain't eating, we in the trenches
With dope fiends, killers, haters and scandalous bitches

[Verse 2: Proof]
My mind has evolved with time, a problem sign
Watch the preacher preach and eating God with swine
I was fine until daddy bust
It was all family love up in daddy's nuts
But momma had to push, dropped me 10/02
Now I bear witness, watch the evil men do
Ain't no window caught, oppurtunity
Its like there's only one plan, it gots to ruin me
Minority crisis to fight this stock exchange
While you flood out blocks with 'cane for pocket change
The illest sight of my life, a crackhead with morning sickness
Tell me why that baby gotta be born addicted
In this cold world where sin thrives in daylight
How the fuck we got gay rights and them have slave rights?
Today might be my last, glad I might see my ass
The first straight bastard, think i hate fags
I dont hate fags, I just hate people
That break equal ties, make secret lies
I can't sleep through one night, my life was dead wrong
Surrounded by internet perverts and kid porn
My shit's warm and now I'm pissing hot
Kids get popped by all these fucking twisted cops
This shit gon' stop in the days of truth
Jumping of the highest horse, trying to save the youth

[Chorus x2: China]
Murdering human beings, no regards for anything
Dope fiends, coke kings, neighbourhood molting
Open me, close me, hold me, scold me
Daddy didn't mold me, Momma never told me

[Verse 3: King Gordy]
Kerosene heaters heat the house up
Borrow water from my neighbours just so I can wash up
Using candles to see my way through the crib
Its eight of us, thats the way that we live, can't tell you when I last ate a meal
Stomach growling, nigga hungry than a motherfucker
Momma stop smoking that and please put some groceries in this motherfucker
Thats why I chill at crackhouses and get ganged
They pushing weight, I make a hundred fucking dollars a day
There go blunts and Coney Islands, can't take it living in vacants
Sleeping with a scarf [?] a first down and three blankets
Hoping police raid us, take us away
I wait for the day, to have a warm place for us to stay
And I've been shot at, beat the fuck down and swung on
I even cocked back, heat for some clowns and bust chrome
I'm from the ghetto, unemployed, dropped out at age eleven
With a wife and three kids, ah shit I'm James Evans

[Chorus x2: China]
Murdering human beings, no regards for anything
Dope fiends, coke kings, neighbourhood molting
Open me, close me, hold me, scold me
Daddy didn't mold me, Momma never told me
