Rock stars


Ah yeah
It's real
Gonna put it down
All these little crime thangs
Homeless the world is crazy boy
It's like this
It's the way it is
Heavy out there, it's heavy

Was I really such a bad child that I deserved to get hit with boards
And whooped with extension cords?
Did you forget that I was your creation
And all I wanted from you all was love hope and motivation?

Son, you're disrespectful and you're talking back, get out my face
Kicked me out the house and wouldn't even let me plead my case
Now, I'm homeless and I'm freezing like the morgue
The only thing keeping me alive is the Lord

Needless to say it's times like this I'd rather be locked up then
Drinkin' water out my hands and eatin' out of garbage cans
Can I come back home, huh could I?
Son, you're on your own, why should I?

Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
When will we ever learn?

Huh, three years from now, I think I'm gon be straight
I put my name on the list for section 8
Tried out for the army but I was flat footed
Didn't do no harm to me, 'cause I was used to it

If I apply for some work, let's make a bet
I'll get the nine 'cause I don't know about the Internet
What do you think we need to do to change about this nation?
Need to provide more jobs and better education

Nuclear weapons, puh, should be stopping crimes
Already got enough to blow the world up a thousand times
The birds and the bees, deadly disease
Teenage pregnancies, STDs

Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
When will we ever learn?

A wait, a wait a minute, I hear sirens
Oh, that's the couple down the street
Domestic violence either them or the little girl in 306
She's always telling everyone that she gon slice her wrists

I guess that's the way it is in the life of sin
Where you'll prolly end up dead, or in the pen
But my family ain't no better than the next
My auntie Brenda turned her own sister in for writing bad checks

And save folks try to hit you where it hurts
Knowin' they the biggest hypocrites in the church
We need to give our minds a bath and do some scrubbin'
Stop the hate and start the lovin'

Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
When will we ever learn?

Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
Nobody's even concerned
Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
When will we ever learn?
Learn, learn, learn, learn

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
