[Intro:] 

This goes out to all the brothers and sisters in america 

And all overseas, Trapped in this place we call the ghetto 

Why me? Reason why we say why me mane, Cause we ain't ask to be here 

Man, Why me? Livin in a hell on earth 



[Verse 1:] 

Born into a world of sin, Hopped out the womb of my mama 

Lil innocent child, Trapped off in a world of drama 

Didn't know what color I was till they called me a nigga 

Hell on earth, But I ain't never asked to come here 

Gotta be better up there cause people dyin down here 

A lotta cryin down here, But we tryin down here 

So God, Please hear us through this song 

Show us the right way cause everybody in the wrong 

Plus, It's almost the end, Got me thinkin about it daily 

The ghetto's got me crazy, Ain't no future for our babies 

Livin in nineteen ninety shady, Trapped in the land of the lost 

Demons'll tempt ya daily and police'll take ya out without a doube 

Got niggaz callin us niggaz 

Uh, Uh, I'm plottin and schemin to reach those big time figgas 

Quick to sip on some liquor, Situation got me stressed 

Pacin back and forth, I fell on my knees and asked for help, God 



[Chorus: x2] 

Why me? Livin in this hell on earth 

Why me? Born into a world of sin cursed since birth 

Why me? 

[Oh lord, Dear God, Why me?] 



[Verse 2:] 

He was raised a savage, His name was lil billy 

Always had dreams of bein a big time willy 

Dropped outta school cause his grades wasn't that lavish 

He flunked every class, But he seem to pass mathematics 

This point in time, Tired of watchin mama struggle 

That's when lil billy learned to spread his hustle 

Went to the streets, Now he's turnin over bundles 

He thought he had pahtnas, But they just wanted to see him crumble 

He thought it was a play thang, But the game got real 

Cause flame's strikin and traded the purchase of the steel 

Cause suckers got jealous of the convertible stain gold grill 

And purchased his mama a fat house on the hill 

But now they comin after him, You know them suckers been watchin 

Watchin every move he make and dollars steady clockin 

Caught em at a red light strip and the end of drama 

Before his last breath, He said I love you mama 

But God 



[Chorus x2] 



[Verse 3:] 

He's goin through problems wit his family, Fightin wit his wife 

Can't sleep at night, Cause he's strung out on the pipe 

Closet smokin, But he don't want them to know 

Plus he got 2 daughters to feed, Only 9 years old 

Oh lord have mercy on my family, Prayers from his wife 

Cause he knew and she knew the situation wasn't right 

He smoked everythang, From the cars to the wedding rang 

Sendin his family through pain, Victim of the caine 

Till 1 day his wife got tired of goin through all this 

Skipped town while he was out gettin his everyday hit 

Came home to an empty house and a letter 

That read don't come lookin for us, We moved to alabama 

She put all her faith in God to get her and her kids established 

She lost her family, Stuck wit a pipe and a habit 

Started off a good time when he first hit that grimmy 

But now he on his knees beggin God to forgive him 



[Chorus x4]
