Canarsie high


(Verse)
Young mother smoke crack while her baby cries
Young brother sell crack, carry baby knives
Baby-face taxes, while out, commit crazy crimes
Taking anything they want without say my pride
Stray bullet hit a pregnant mom in Bedstock
Let fly, final destination, her death arrives
Was she in the wrong place or was she meant to die?
And whoever’s responsible they’ll never find
Fuck flippin burgers, serving milkshakes and fries
Kids committing murders, living in these last days and times
White kids, brat kids, anyway suppliers
Shooting up they high-schools, say it in they minds

(Bridge)
We see everything and yet we forever blind
Society turn away and protect yo eyes
Like a horror movie but you can’t press rewind
Bear witness to reality, you step aside

(Hook x2)
Are we learning how to live or learning how to die?
Building nuclear weapons and learning how to fly
I never graduated high-school,
I got my GED in the 10th grade, the winner of Canarsie High

(Verse)
Yong baby girl gave birth to baby girl
13, brought a little baby in this crazy world
I see the same story every block, every borough
Every town same situation, very thorough
Very sad, baby girl never knew her dad
Broken home, broken soul, ready to attack
Young dad doesn’t even know that he a father
And some dude but don’t care or care to even bother
Plenty good parents too but bad situations
Young dad went to war in a distant nation
Proud American and wanted to participate
Sat home in a box or in a cripple state

(Bridge)
We see everything and yet we forever blind
Society turn away and protect yo eyes
Like a horror movie but you can’t press rewind
Bear witness to reality, you step aside

(Hook x2)
Are we learning how to live or learning how to die?
Building nuclear weapons and learning how to fly
I never graduated high-school,
I got my GED in the 10th grade, the winner of Canarsie High

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
