What About Us?

Lyrics

[Chorus] (What about us?) What about my niggas still out on the street? (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? (What about us?) What about my niggas still on the street? (Still on the streets) (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? [Verse: Layzie Bone] This for my, incarcerated niggas That's stuck in the pen they coming home Gotta stay strong cause you ain't alone Remember you always got love from home But still it's pain and may not know it I'm a boy and I gotta show it And I hear the cries from the babies That wish they had a chance and don't wanna blow it For the unemployed, all of them little girls and boys You got'sa, love your mom and daddy And maybe one day you can give them toys Oh boy, its getting deeper, more expensive, then never cheaper But what about that little nigga running the streets Making a living through his beeper What about these whack ass politicians Don't care if we live or die What about them elderly barely breathing, gotta survive off SSI They say America, the land of the free and the home of the brave It's mass hysteria, so bring your needs and hope you get paid And if they bury us, at least we can live as we believe Dog, they never can break our pride Ain't nothing they do can keep us weak And all of my soldiers come together Get on your feet, be ready to bust What about the war they fighting on terrorism? (fuck that) What about this war against us? [Chorus] (What about us?) What about my niggas still out on the street? (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? (What about us?) What about my niggas still on the street? (Still on the streets) (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? [Verse: Wish Bone] What about them thugs that's dead and gone What about them thugs that ain't even grown What about them thugs that's out here lost And ain't gon' never find their way home Suspicion got you furious, so grab your shit and go on listen to us It's violence, but violence is the only way they gonna respect us Resist system, with a ghetto background, wrong place, wrong time You'll be domed, how they sleep at night when they know they be lying? This shit we deal wit', we young black and fearless Living in the ghetto, they gave us the ghetto so the ghetto is all that we know They beat us down for dumb shit, then they lock us up for dumb shit Find out that I'm innocent and still gotta fight for money they owe me And they wonder why we riot in the damn streets They can't hold us down we getting it now, That money And watch what I tell ya, everybody wants some How they get it they don't care Try to kick it when you spittin' real smooth But they listening in my business trying to fuck up my move [Chorus] (What about us?) What about my niggas still out on the street? (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? (What about us?) What about my niggas still on the street? (Still on the streets) (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? [Verse: Bizzy Bone] Dead niggas I've been to war with Toured with, (huh) I seen it all Like soap operas on ghetto skulls I can tell when rappers getting bored with it Sometimes she a bitch, sometimes my lady And at times, when niggas died, she held me like I was a baby The simplest things in life was always the best Breathing your last breath of fresh chronic in your chest Hey somebody call my momma! and hold me one more time Before I die my momma she carried me no karma Niggas bitches and drama I can recollect walking and stoppin' Pops not even checking on me, juvenile delinquent And baby, jail was beckonin' me The P.O. injected me in a runaway slave And fuck a Latch Key Kid Can't wait for pops to see all the shit that I did Like spittin' on them foxies skied up In the pot with my nigs This ain't the life that I love It's the life that I live And it's a life full of lust nigga [Chorus] (What about us?) What about my niggas still out on the street? (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? (What about us?) What about my niggas still on the street? (Still on the streets) (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? [Verse: Krayzie Bone] My partner called me after court He said they got 25 to life just for slingin' some dope Then making some cheese just to feed his folks Now daylight come, but he won't go home Its sad cause it was a setup for us to get caught up and trapped by po-po fo sho' What about our boys and young girls In their wicked young world Coming to school wit' heaters bustin' their teachers Whatever happened to family and the humanity we posses What about our babies, that struggling in this mess, don't strees What about the crooked coppers scaring these niggas off in the hood What about them niggas that be getting blown off the block if they good? See most of my niggas still on the street Still struggling, hustlin' trying to get something eat Some of them resting in piece, still some will never get free Bone Thug gotta show love, keep it trill, really real And let 'em know about us [Chorus] (What about us?) What about my niggas still out on the street? (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? (What about us?) What about my niggas still on the street? (Still on the streets) (What about us?) What about my partners doin' time? (What about us?) What about this harrassment from the police? (What about us?) What about my young thugs dying? What about us? (Repeat till end)
