[00:00:00] Written by：Pete Rock/Heavy D

[00:00:07] People

[00:00:11] The world today is in a very difficult situation

[00:00:16] And we all know it

[00:00:18] Because we're the ones who created it

[00:00:21] What's wrong with our future

[00:00:26] What's wrong with our future

[00:00:31] What's wrong with our future

[00:00:36] What's wrong with our future

[00:00:40] Bust this

[00:00:41] How long will this last

[00:00:44] A friend to the end a memory in the past

[00:00:46] You think you're big 'cause you walk with a shotgun

[00:00:49] I got new for you your days are numbered son

[00:00:52] Why don't you get yourself a job

[00:00:54] When your kid grows up do you want him to rob

[00:00:57] Look at your mother tear drops

[00:00:59] She just received a phone call from the cops

[00:01:02] Your son will do life 'cause he wigged a man's wife

[00:01:04] Shot her with a gun and stabbed her with a knife or

[00:01:08] Take a look at your mother's heart torn

[00:01:10] She just received a phone call from the morgue

[00:01:12] Your son is dead from three shots to the head

[00:01:15] The killer left a note and this is what the note said

[00:01:18] Never be bigger than you are

[00:01:20] Never try to pose like you're a superstar

[00:01:23] Next time you rob somebody and

[00:01:24] You give him the death wish

[00:01:25] When you pull the trigger ni**a don't miss

[00:01:28] Is this how you wanna be

[00:01:31] Dead on the street or locked in a penetentiary

[00:01:33] It's cool to be free

[00:01:35] And it's alright for you to be you and for me to be me

[00:01:38] Look at you 15 years old

[00:01:41] Coolin on the corner with a can of old gold

[00:01:44] Whatever happened to school

[00:01:46] Yeah sure you go to school but you go to be cool

[00:01:49] To sport sneakers that you took from somebody

[00:01:51] To talk about the kid that you bucked at some party

[00:01:54] Life is a gamble and you're losin

[00:01:57] Before it's too late brother you better start choosin

[00:02:00] Left from right right from wrong

[00:02:02] Or you'll be singin that old blues song

[00:02:05] Yo you gotta buck em or else you're soft

[00:02:07] Some I knew thought the same now they're way up north

[00:02:10] You ain't soft 'cause you didn't buck a shot

[00:02:12] Put the pistol down throw up your hands see what ya got

[00:02:15] Old Johnny walker from around the block

[00:02:17] Was livin' rather large 'till he got knocked

[00:02:20] He had livin' large on his Jeep plates

[00:02:22] Livin' large on his real estate

[00:02:23] He even bought a diamond livin' large name plate

[00:02:25] He used to look at cops and smile in their face

[00:02:28] Drive a BMW and pump the bass

[00:02:31] One day he made a move for a friend

[00:02:33] The friend the voice said

[00:02:34] Yo I need ten Johnny said when

[00:02:36] Later on that day Johnny went to play the game

[00:02:40] He normally plays

[00:02:41] To do a favour for a chum

[00:02:43] You see a friend is a friend but then some are none

[00:02:46] 'Cause when he got to the spot they were supposed to meet

[00:02:49] All he found was a police infested street

[00:02:52] I guess havin a friend is rough

[00:02:54] 'Cause now Johnny's up north doin push ups gettin buffed

[00:02:57] You see this chain I've got I've got it honestly

[00:03:00] You see the clothes I wear I've got it honestly

[00:03:02] You see the Jeep I drive I've got it honestly

[00:03:05] I work hard it ain't easy being me

[00:03:07] Never had an excuse for life

[00:03:09] Just did what I did now what I do I do it right

[00:03:12] Jumbo Jumbo they cry on the block

[00:03:15] 5 0 5 0 lay low here comes the cops

[00:03:18] Man your lifestyle is petro

[00:03:20] On your knees again because Jumbo said so

[00:03:23] Free Mandela you cried

[00:03:25] But you still sell d**e to brothers and sisters outside

[00:03:28] Martin Luther king had a dream ooh yeah

[00:03:31] That's exactly what turned his dream into a nightmare

[00:03:33] Malcolm X said by any means necessary

[00:03:36] He didn't mean just for you brother he meant for everybody

[00:03:39] Maybe if we were still slaves we'll be closer however

[00:03:41] Pickin cotton was bad but we picked it together

[00:03:44] I pray for you and you pray for me

[00:03:46] Sincerely yours the overweight lover heavy D
