I seen a lot of pain in my short time on earth
From birth my life's been nothing but struggle and strife
Young men go to war over city blocks, yellow tape
Screaming neighborhoods and ambulance cops
Got me asking God are you really there
Do you really care, 300 kids died last year
Sometimes I don't know cause the game's so cold
Brothers killing brothers and the tears of a mother
Tell me why
Last week this kid pulled his gat at me
And he shot my homie dead, now that's a double tragedy
Now the dead kid's mama, you see she was poor
And when she heard the news she went and threw herself on the floor
And screamed why God why cause the pain it hurts
She spent the next weeks on her knees in church
Hoping and praying that this is just part of the plan
And there's another life lost but that's on the other hand
There's another mama with a son in a cage
And another mama whose veins are running with rage
Damn, now she wants to employ a crew
And it makes her feel guilty enjoying the view
25 With the L on the highway to hell
There's no money for bail, she's sending letters from jail
Hoping to hell his mama's pain ends today
And I'm thinking about hopping over that fence today
And the dead kid's mama she can't really handle it
She's Catholic, she grieves and always keeps her candle lit
And just because a kid carried a gun
Another kid's mama she buried her son
See it's two lives lost, two lives crushed
Makes me wonder who I trust and who might bust
Damn, will it be my mama in a black dress
Is it my soul that holds heaven's address
It's madness but I heard a scream
And got a bird's eye view of a murder scene
I felt the cold pavement and I ain't lying
No more mothers crying, no more babies dying
I seen a lot of pain in my short time on earth
From birth my life's been nothing but struggle and strife
Young men go to war over city blocks, yellow tape
Screaming neighborhoods and ambulance cops
Got me asking God are you really there
Do you really care, 300 kids died last year
Sometimes I don't know cause the game's so cold
Brothers killing brothers and the tears of a mother
It's been a long time back before I started this rap
G's put me on the set and they hand me the strap
Said don't forget where you came, that's right where you at
And when your enemy bust, you always bust back
They said blast for your hood, represent your clique
Buck or bust him in the head and watch his ass backflip
I didn't know what I was doing, understand the ride
I didn't know that I was straight committing fratricide
Gang pride got me sagging what, waving my rag
Got tats on my chest of bullet holes and laughed
If you told me banging was wrong I'd have called you soft
If you moved on me too strong I'd have knocked you off
I would bail to the funerals, lay my homies to rest
Drinking 40s in the church, not to mention my vest
Hit my switches in the parking lot right next to the hearse
Leave the funeral, strap up and put in work
But one look at a mother clutching her dead son
Made me realize the evil that was held in my gun
And her face held the pain of a thousand deaths
And her screams as her baby took in his last breath
Made me feel like the low form of life I was
We gotta stop this gang killing, be you blood or cuz
Cause the streets lose two every time one drops
One gone off to heaven, one gone to the cops
Whether gang bang or jacking or slanging them rocks
We won't never have nothing till this mayhem stops
I seen a lot of pain in my short time on earth
From birth my life's been nothing but struggle and strife
Young men go to war over city blocks, yellow tape
Screaming neighborhoods and ambulance cops
Got me asking God are you really there
Do you really care, 300 kids died last year
Sometimes I don't know cause the game's so cold
Brothers killing brothers and the tears of a mother
