Chorus:
You aint that tough ya
Choose the right friends
You aint that tough now
Dont make your life end
You walk around the town like you a big man
But you never know now that theres always a bigger man
You sling the m-16 and flash the m-1
But you dont know what youre doing never learned to handle one
But true! all you friend thinking you a gangster
While your mother tried to warn you from certain danger
So when you in your room you playing with your mac-10
Fully loaded automatic, just you and a friend
You posing aw dey mirror like you a gangster clown
But the mac-10 go off and you friend go down
Uh oh! what you gonna do now?
Uh oh! they gonna blame you somehow
Uh oh! tell me what you gonna say
Uh oh! look, they cutting you away
Your father telling you now son just go to school
Dont go acting like a fool and dont go acting too cool
You get to the school and meet up with the right bunch
Just a group of kids with no names taking people lunch
You join the click because you wanna meet some girls
And you want a little prestige in you little school world
One day youre walking with your crew along the road
And a member of your crew pull out a gun and unload
He shoot a parked car and all you run far
You and your friends laughing like you a superstar
And you get home and you thinking it was fresh
And a cop meet you there with a warrant for your arrest
Them ask, who shot the gut why you walking down the street
Didnt you see the little boy there in the back seat sleep?
Now the boy dead we want to know from you
Who shot the car up, are we gonna take you?
Uh oh! now what you gonna do now?
Uh oh! boy, them gonna blame you
Uh oh! now tell me what you gonna say
Uh oh! look, they cutting you away
Chorus
White kids! you living in the whitest part of town
You are a white kid but you know you hang around
So you and your friends thinking that you are all of that
When you see a youth walk by and yes the youth is black
One kid say hey, what you doing on the block
We dont want no niggers here unless he is a cop
So the kid pull out a big baseball bat
And them him slap with the bat becasue the kid is black
Now then the kid fell down but still alive
So he reach in his pants and pull out a four-five
Pop! one friend drop and everyone run
Out of all the white kids now you the only one
You start cry, cause now you gonna die
And its all because what your friends did to this guy
Uh oh! what you gonna do now?
Uh oh! he gonna blame you somehow
Uh oh! what you think you gonna say?
Uh oh! now them cutting you away
Check!
