[00:37.42]A frustrated and confused young juvenile
[00:39.88]King of the project blues so
[00:41.64]I chooseTo take a piece of the action
[00:44.50]
[00:45.46]But my sober state of mind won't let it happen

[01:03.69]Most don't understand how it is
[01:05.45]In the world of today growin' up as a young black teen
[01:09.22]I used to dream of bein' a architect
[01:11.73]Easier said than done believe me it's hard to get
[01:14.38]Out of the projects without forgettin' where you came from
[01:17.85]My parents told me from day one
[01:19.78]Finish school and avoid all obstacles
[01:22.47]But my environment makes it so impossible
[01:24.79]For instance build a strong social life
[01:27.09]Without messing up still trying to live right
[01:29.88]
[01:30.40]Like in junior high
[01:31.72]I used to wonder why
[01:32.88]Certain females went out with certain guys
[01:35.73]Then one day it all dawned on me yo
[01:38.07]You gotta be down and have it goin' on see
[01:41.04]I wasn't down with the mainstream or
[01:42.91]Should I say their team now
[01:44.86]I'm gettin' steamed
[01:46.47]Gotta find a way to get accepted by my peers
[01:49.66]So now I'm sippin' on beers
[01:51.45]Buyin' new gear nothin' but the best
[01:53.98]Forget Levi's strictly
[01:55.55]Polo and Guess
[01:56.63]
[01:57.29]But how would
[01:57.80]I make the cash
[01:59.22]It gotta be easy and it gotta be fast
[02:02.18]

[02:28.82]Around my way there's a kid that most don't understand
[02:31.61]How he lives
[02:32.33]Is it negative or positive
[02:34.12]He has a grade
[02:35.25]A averageBut when he's on the streets with his friends he's a savage
[02:39.11]A freshman of high school daily attendant
[02:41.75]He never got in trouble never did he get suspended
[02:44.58]Good little
[02:45.27]Kenny who would believe
[02:47.04]He dropped out of school to start to smoke w**d
[02:50.01]I saw the signs but
[02:51.16]I didn't pay attention
[02:52.34]Because he got offended every time that
[02:54.28]I would mention
[02:55.00]The drinkin' the smokin' the low school grades
[02:57.59]And sleepin' in class laid back with his black shades
[03:00.64]Nowadays you catch
[03:01.79]Kenny hangin' in the hallways
[03:03.95]With his crew findin' more ways
[03:05.89]To break out of school and hit the block and get buck wild
[03:08.93]Stay out of the way of a mad child'
[03:11.20]Cause he's a product of hell
[03:13.14]
[03:13.66]Kenny never fell but he's gonna fall overall
[03:16.83]So let's take a trip to the ghetto
[03:18.85]Where Kenny got drunk and bought a burner off his man
[03:21.30]So he pulled the trigger and the suicide note readI'm glad it's finally over and I'm finally dead
[03:26.70]
[03:27.48]And no more do
[03:28.62]I have to feel lesser or
