“The hood is like a ghost town, haunted by souls who thought that time stood still.”

Time flies, don't it?

“Top down, night air blow her hair, sky black, stars glow, the face on the moon stare.”

“Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars.”

“Everybody had money, every summer was real ill
Four-finger rings, dope dealers, 'caine/Kane
No Half Steppin' with flat tops when Rakim reigned
Radios on card tables, Benetton, the Gods buildin'
Ask for today's mathematics, we Allah's children
And this was goin' on in every New York ghetto
Kids listened, Five Percenters said it's pork in Jell-o.”

“Ayo, we trapped in our own brain, fukk behind bars
We've already gone insane
We've already gave up, cut our own heads offs
Stab our own backs and dream too much
Without fulfilling reality; too greedy and
Can't have one or two chains, we need three of them
Can't have one or two guns without squeezing 'em.”

edit: had to clean up the pause

Just to make another generation - black zombies.”

“Homicidal feds on the blocks where I played b-ball
That's when I wondered was I here for the cause or because
'Cause Ray Charles could see the ghetto
Was told to stay strong and I could beat the devil.”
