Je score:
Such a shame, such a shame Critical... You're living foul, things are getting wild It's difficult to raise a child Cause growin up in a lost environment Every day becomes a new experiment Now we are faced with problems But if we come together we can solve them Before we start to solving, here's a sample Who's coming foward to set the example Inflation, starvation Surviving takes a strong nation Those who like to bring about static Be aware of the true Asiatic What you see was predicted before We were already warned of this bloody drug war Wherever you sell it wherever you go Ya still being clocked by the cops, ya know You're paid by the hours, they see time flies While your brain's being showered by a bunch of lies You say I'm no slave where's the lock and chain Hmmm, on your ignorant brain Skip to ya loo with your High Pro Glow Ya not stim off life, ya stimulated off blow Or the new improved, ask beaming Jack Criza, criza, crack Chorus: You're living foul, living foul My people you were forced then brought Stripped from your jewels brainwashed and then taught To hate, deceive and dislike each other Separating themselves, you're not my brother Sit up at home for a mystery Face-valuing things that you can't see Can't taste can't smell, hear or feel But senses prove everything is real I'm here to present a positive way If strong you'll accord if weak you'll stray Drug users are stuck in the mud Another 20th century modern day chud These cannibal humanoid undernourished dwellers Just took your check to the heroin cellar Dope addicts, that walk and roam Might have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome AIDS, doesn't come from me Cause I've studied and learned my history It had to be something evil to bring that about This is showing and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt Chorus: You're living foul, living foul When you wake up, to a brand new day And you think about your salary or your pay You think of negative things, should I get involved Caught in crime, serving time, that's problems to solve So you think about it, say that you must quit Smoke a blunt, then you do the same old shhhh And while ya high you don't truly know why You spent your cash so that you can buy Some herb (word) and some Old E (yeah) A fifty cent Philly so the herb can be Rolled up modern style to what we call a blunt Know the facts is true don't try to front Or stray away from the positive message in the song That's only showing and proving you're not strong And the strong is what we need today Why? They go the opposite way Chorus: Of living foul, you're living foul The words right now flowing off my tongue Is for the old, the young, the one's that's strong Those who are worshippers of diamonds and gold You should not be bought and you should not be sold Those who always want but does not need Is slightly controlled by the hands of greed If you rob, steal, backstab and abduct Sooner or later you will self-destruct Chorus: You're living foul
