It's Going Down
Rap! Lyrics

Yo' let me holla at y'all for a minute
I want to talk to everyone for a minute

It's like when, I was in the ghetto
I know what it's like when you're in the ghetto

I was never in the ghetto, because my mind was elsewhere
Although I lived in the ghetto, I always had my mind on other things

And if I was locked down, I would invision myself being free
If I was ever in prison, I would imagine myself being free

But God, I got so many questions
I have a lot of questions for God

I just want you to anwser
I just want God to answer my questions

Help Me Out...
I need God's help

I wish that God would talk to me (Talk to me)
I wish God would speak to me

About all the pain that I've seen (I know you seen it too)
I want answers from God about all the pain I've experienced

Move on, coming out right
Things will get better with time

Cracked out Mother got nerve to be crying
My mother, who is addicted to crack, has the nerve to cry when I have to deal with so much pain

All my friends seem to pass away (Rest in peace, all y'all rest in peace)
Many of my friends have died and I hope they rest in peace

I heard one say, that's the only way (No it ain't)
One person said that dying is the only way out, but that's not true

But I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain

I wish I'd rain, I wish I'd rain, so it could wash away all my pain
I wish the rain would wash away all my pain

It's going around outside
There's pain all around us

I wish I'd rain, I wish I'd rain, so it could wash away all this pain
I wish the rain would wash away all the pain

My best friend's house payments behind
My best friend is behind on their house payments

Now he lives in the park outside
Now my friend lives in the park

Mary complains about the money she makes
Mary complains about her income

I see some more people dying of AIDS (I feel ya dog, I feel ya)
I see more people dying of AIDS and it's painful

Trying to make the whole world invision my pain (invision my pain)
I'm trying to make everyone understand my pain

Trying to pretend that the ghetto was all good
I tried to pretend that the ghetto was good, but it's not

Ya' know what I really wish for change
I really wish for change

But it seems killas and drug-dealas
But there are still people who kill and deal drugs

But they stereo-type me as a thug
But people stereotype me as a thug

Hard to see clear
It's hard to see things clearly

Supposed to be one-night stand, I ain't supposed to be here, Mom and Dad never was in love
I was supposed to just be a one-night stand, so it's weird that I'm here. My parents were never in love

It seems domestic violence is always the problem
Domestic violence seems to always be a problem

When I go home (Go gome)
When I go home

Hoping once in my life that Mom and Dad would get along
I hope that, just once, my parents could get along when I'm home

See my grandfather died in the war
My grandfather died in the war

And all he ever got was medals, and my grandmother got a letter
My grandfather only got medals for his service and my grandmother just got a letter

Only things my kids ever GOT!?
The only thing my kids have ever received is a trip to the ghetto

Was a trip to the ghetto
I've only been able to take my kids to the ghetto

Have you ever seen a crackbaby? Or someone die of AIDS?!
Have you ever seen a baby born addicted to crack or someone die from AIDS?

Watch them suffer and with all this money I got They can't be saved
I can see people suffer but, even though I have money, I can't save them

We all hustle so fuck the color, white or black
We all hustle, so why does it matter what color we are?

We all struggle, we act like We better then each other, we're supposed to be all sistas and brothas
We all struggle, but we act like we're better than each other. We're supposed to be brothers and sisters supporting one another

Feel my pain
Feel my pain

It's better that you know
It's better that you know my pain

But don't feel sorry for me, even though I lived hard and rough I lived better than most
Don't feel sorry for me, although I've lived a hard life. I've lived better than most

Knowin' one day I gotta go, and I can't buy time
I know that one day I will die and I can't buy time

I gotta homie that's doing 99
I have a friend who is serving a 99-year sentence in prison

He sending me pictures and letters like it's all fine
He sends me pictures and letters as if everything is okay

I know it's not
But I know that it's not okay

And ya' know what? It's even worse
And you know what? It's even worse

They got us killin' over turfs
People are killing each other over neighborhoods

I don't know when the last time I went to church
I don't remember the last time I went to church

Can't sleep, doin' too much dirt
I can't sleep because I'm doing too much illegal activity

In the middle of the ghetto, just wishin' for clout (wishin' for clout)
In the middle of the ghetto, I'm wishing for influence and power

Ladies forget having babies by these fake playas and shady bustas
Women shouldn't have children with fake and shady men

Thinkin' they can get you out
These men think that having a child with a woman will get them out of their situation

See now my quest to live hard, a quest to live large
My goal is to live hard and live large

God I have a question Why's it so hard?! (Feel my pain, feel my pain...feel that?)
God, I have a question. Why is life so hard? Can you feel my pain?

Ya' know what I'm sayin'
Do you understand what I'm saying?

Killin' over dolla bills, paper
People are killing each other over money

Fightin' over turfs, when none of it don't belong to us
People are fighting over neighborhoods, which don't even belong to them

And racism?! Still exist, but ME?! I'm color-blind
Racism still exists, but I don't see color

We gotta realize we gotta problem
We need to realize that we have a problem

And the government? The only time they care, is election time
The government only cares about our problems during elections

And they seem to think the only solution is Build more prisons to throw us in...it's not right
The government's solution to our problems is to build more prisons, which is not right

But I got homies dyin' over nothing (Rest in peace Biggie, rest in peace Pac)
I have friends who are dying for no reason. Rest in peace Biggie and Tupac

And all the fallen soldiers
And all the people who have lost their lives

Ya' know what, it used to be in my community...drugs and violence
In my community, there used to be a lot of drugs and violence

Now it's going around, now it's going around...it's going around
Now the problem is spreading to other communities

Soon to be in your spot, if it's not there already
The problem will soon be in your community, if it's not already there

I'm out
I'm done speaking

(It's going around outside)
The problem is spreading outside
