My homie lost his family and snapped, shot up half the block to bring them back.

Mama raised a hellraiser why cry, That's just life in the ghetto, do or die.

Support me... If you don't understand me don't write about me

So many other things for us to see, Things to be, Our history so full of tragedy and misery.

You can't disrespect the love. You can't disrespect the peace treaty.

All B.S. aside, it all comes down to... we got to survive. I mean, even warriors put their spears down on Sundays. We got to survive here in this country... 'cause I'm not going back to Africa. We got to survive here. And for us to survive here-White folks, Black folks, Korean folks, Mexican folks, Puerto Ricans-we got to understand each other.

Heaven ain't hard to find; all you gotta do is look.
