Brotha Whatchu Tryin' For

Brotha whatchu tryin' for
Whatchu dyin' for
Whatchu fightin' for
Tell me brotha
Brotha whatchu tryin' for
Whatchu dyin' for
Tell me brotha please

It's half past death in the naked city
Can't even enumerate the reasons why his life is shitty
Dealin' downtown in the nitty gritty
Don't you ask a brotha for a dime, ain't got no pity
The cash is fast the streets are cold and wet with blood
From those who got what they can get
Just another stat within the game of life
The center is rotten
Outside the fruit is lookin' ripe

Brotha whatchu tryin' for
Whatchu dyin' for
Whatchu fightin' for
Tell me brotha
Brotha whatchu tryin for
Whatchu dyin' for
Tell me brotha please

It's long past time for him to get a job
Inducted for his service
Never nervous in the ghetto mob
Strollin' uptown for the steal & rob
Equate back to surroundings that familiar
For the slobadon
Dreams have died
The light is on fade to black
The slowest cascade and still
There ain't no turnin' back
Just another con within' the milk & honey
Future is bleak, right at your peak
Now ain't that funny

In twilight earthly souls uncover many lessons
Least of which for sure is to say and count your blessings
Convoluted ideology will keep you guessin'
The winner takes it all, leave nothin' left and
The dream is dashed
Life is cashed and out
For those unknown there will always be a doubt
Just another spark within the sea of light
The flicker is fadin' and now it's time to say goodnight

Brotha whatchu tryin' for
Whatchu dyin' for
Whatchu fightin' for
Tell me brotha
Brotha whatchu tryin' for
Whatchu dyin' for
Tell me brotha please

Brotha whatchu tryin' for
Whatchu dyin' for
Whatchu fightin' for
Tell me brotha
Brotha whatchu tryin for
Whatchu dyin' for
Tell me brotha please

Sista what I'm tryin' for
What I'm strivin' for
What I'm dyin' for
I ain't really sure
Brotha what I'm tryin' for
What I'm dyin' for
I ain't really sure

Sista what I'm tryin' for
What I'm strivin' for
What I'm dyin' for
I ain't really sure
Brotha what I'm tryin' for
What I'm dyin' for
I ain't really sure
