Uh-huh (Yeah) Yo
It`s this little shorty, knowhaI`mean
It`s real (It`s like it`s rough)
What I`m supposed to do ya`know (It`s real rough baby)
Yo, (Hold ya head, hold ya head dunn) Yeah
[Havoc]
It`s bad enough I gotta grow up the fast way
These things going on got me thinkin they the last days
Tryin to come up, but shorty with a plan
Doin my best but can`t see the promise in my land
These older cats wildin out over turf dog
I`m caught in the middle and it can`t get worse
Just the other day I saw my homie wheeled off in a hearse
So used to it, it don`t even hurt
My heart`s numb, guess that`s the Dunn Dunn
Can`t speak on it, `less you been where I come from
Stuck like bubble gum with no help from anyone
Moms got four others -- my four younger brothers
We`re not supposed to do the tender age of ten
Dog, we`re in the same boat I can`t turn to my friends
Fore I lay me down to sleep pray to God that I`ll see the next day
and do my best, hope these streets don`t get me
CHORUS: Havoc (Prodigy) 2x
(It`s real) Keep that park open
Baby I just wanna play
(Uh-huh) Keep that park open
Baby I just wanna play
(No doubt) Keep that park open
Baby I just wanna play
(That`s right) Keep that park open
Baby I just wanna play
[Prodigy]
Yo` baby, I`m strugglin for crumbs, survivin the unheard of
Growin up amongst the violence and drugs
Growin up against the world and such (Uh-huh)
We the young black future of the world and plus
We the team that`ll crush anybody you bring
We the one that`s gon` hold it down, it`s no thing no sweat
It barely take no strength, you cowards ain`t built for this
(And it`s real) All we wanna do is hit the park
Play all day and night without a care in the world
But it`s drama in my hood, sho` it`s hard to chill
You gotta stay on point and sharp as hell
Dunn, we just wanna have fun
I just wanna be with my dawgs, cuz we all we got
Don`t why it is, but that`s how it is
I just wanna be with my clique cuz that`s where I fit
CHORUS
[Havoc]
(It`s real) Where do I turn to, who do I console in?
I know I`m just a shorty but I want my wrist frozen nice
As I sat and thought many a nights
I could do the right thing or get read my rights
It`s life, in the hood
Everything that look, it ain`t
I stole base, now I`m runnin from home plate
Runnin from jake, sweat runnin down my face
And I can pay for every move I make
[Prodigy]
Just enjoy your youth, you only live once
Lil` dunn control yourself, learn discipline
And show some respect for others
Shit is serious on the street, you playin with fire
Concentrate on yourself and don`t follow nobody
Hit them school books, so you ain`t gotta borrow no money
These is jewels for you that you gon` wear forever
From us to y`all, now listen up to pa
CHORUS 2x
[Woman singer]
Mothers child
Has to go and travel into the wild
Lord she had a heavenly sky
Sweet saint he Lord
Thank you God
[Repeat]
