Young City Boys and Girls

Young city boys and girls
Decide for yourself what's right or wrong c'mon
Don't let a rap song
tell you how you gotta act
You gotta use more brains than that

Young city boys and girls
Decide for yourself what's right or wrong child
Don't let a lifestyle that you caught up on the box
Go and tell you which way to rock

I grab mics so it's my obligation to make sure that there's no contamination,
no ill virus, can you dig it just like Cyrus
If your style is stank, you walk the plank 'cause I'm a pirate
why you violent?
Is it 'cause you're immature, insecure and childish
or is it 'cause it sells records and you think it's stylish
The kids around my way be blinded by that garbage
strange, we need to rearrange, something's got to change
Your mind's been conditioned, trained, take a listen to the people in the game,
take a look at what they do, 'cause what they claim is fake and the fame could be fatal
But you're born to make mistakes, flesh and blood only human,
go all the youth consuming, lies with no solution, guns and prostitution ain't the path to evolution,
cut the bullshitI pity that style that you're using,
'cause you choose to do what he does, not your own,
you're a follower following and the leader's always cheated,
believe it, whatever I say I live and breathe it

Young city boys and girls
Decide for yourself what's right or wrong c'mon
Don't let a rap song
tell you how you gotta act
You gotta use more brains than that

Young city boys and girls
Decide for yourself what's right or wrong child
Don't let a lifestyle that you caught up on the box
Go and tell you which way to rock

We grow like trees but the forest full of youth get chopped at the roots and that's the sad ass truth
It's an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
To the bullet, to the trigger, to the gun some shoot
And some get the boot while other got no couth
Some are living Buddhas and we be the living proof
Walking on the shores of truth without a clue
Tell me what do you do when no one understands you
You gain self hate or else you elevate
Frustrated, damning fate, illuminated, feeling great
Dominated by the papes, emancipated by the power of my own mind
Diamond like on the mic
Tonight this is dedicated to the children
Yesterday they killed one in my next door building
And the killer was too young to see the pen
He said I shot him 'cause he didn't represent
And the victim was barely pushing 10
Got shot because he didn't represent C'mon

Young city boys and girls
Decide for yourself what's right or wrong c'mon
Don't let a rap song
tell you how you gotta act
You gotta use more brains than that

Young city boys and girls
Decide for yourself what's right or wrong child
Don't let a lifestyle that you caught up on the box
Go and tell you which way to rock
Decide.
