And the tears fall from
the doctor's eyes
E
Because in this room, on this day
The Good Lord has giveth,
and taketh away, huh!
E
The gift of life really means a lot
And in the ghetto your life is all you got
E
So you take to the streets,
In the trash and slime of a world like this
E
What you watch on TV tells you
what life is supposed to be
E
But when you look outside
the only thing you see
Is the poverty stricken reality,
Heh!
E
Abandoned places, angry faces
Much hate and hunger
throughout the races
E
You say, "I'm grown and I'm on my own
So why don't everybody just
leave me alone!"
Doin' ninety miles an hour
in the fifty mile zone
They never took the time
to tell you ?bout sex
So you had to learn about
it in the discotheques
Nine months later, the baby is there
And the Nigga that did it said,
"I don't care!"
You don't have enough
E
Em
money to help feed two
So you have to choose
between the baby and you
E
The sky was crying, rain and hail
When you put your baby
in the garbage pail
E
Then you kissed the kid and put down the lid
And you tried to forget
what you just did, Huh!
Em
The muffled screams of a dying baby
Was enough to drive the
young mother crazy
So she ran in the rain trying to
ease the pain
Huh huh, And she drove herself insane
