You can say I'm young and green behind the ears way

too young to know the meaning of real tears I've lived in

government projects for more than half my life the stories

they're all true I've managed to survive. "What did you say

about,where I live it rains bullets in this environment What I

know didn't just come to me I'm a witness

to civil war mentality" the first time I saw death man I was only

5 the young hood lay on the ground this picture changed my life

"I ain't gonna go out that way!!" "I ain't gonna go out that way!!"

frustrated frustrated where I'm gonna go nobody knows

frustrated will they shoot me to death or will they stab me

instead well I just don't know

everybody knows "I ain't gonna' go out that way" "I ain't gonna

go out that way!!" "what did you say about where i' live it rains

bullets in this environments what I know didn't just come to me

i'm a witness to civil war mentality"
