EVERYDAY LIVINÃ?Â?
Lyrics by Sean Rasul
VERSE:
See that young man
Standing on the block
Somebody shook his hand
Gave him cash for a rock
HeÃ?Â?s got his eyes open
Looking out for the cops
Check itÃ?Â?
He wants to quit
But he canÃ?Â?t stop
Cuz his little girl
Needs a pair of shoes & socks
And heÃ?Â?d better bring some food home
At six oÃ?Â?clock
Cuz baby girl ainÃ?Â?t old enough
To understand
Why her daddy canÃ?Â?t seem to stop
The stomach cramps
CHORUS:
Yall donÃ?Â?t know what we go through
Everyday livinÃ?Â? in the ghetto
Everyday livinÃ?Â? in the ghetto
Everyday livinÃ?Â? in the ghetto
VERSE:
See that old lady
On her way to church
SheÃ?Â?s praying everyday
Asking God to stop the hurt
SomethingÃ?Â?s wrong with her only son
She can tell
Just turned twenty-one
And he ainÃ?Â?t looking well
Check itÃ?Â?
Now if youÃ?Â?re looking at him
Let me know
DonÃ?Â?t it look like
HomeboyÃ?Â?s tripping off some blow?
But mama keeps praying
And she wonÃ?Â?t stop
Until her baby boy
Gets off the crack rock
(Hook)
Look at baby girl over there
On her way home
Boyfriend never showed up
Now heÃ?Â?s all alone
Gets off the bus on the block
SomethingÃ?Â?s wrong
Walks to the scene
Trying to see whatÃ?Â?s going on
Who is that young man
Laying there in the street
Could it be her babyÃ?Â?s daddy
Underneath the white sheet?
Panic sets in, followed by relief
There he is with her daughter
Coming up the street
CHORUS
VERSE:
Look at little sister over there
On her way home
Boyfriend never showed up
Now heÃ?Â?s all alone
Gets off the bus on the block
SomethingÃ?Â?s wrong
Walks to the scene
Trying to see whatÃ?Â?s going on
Who is that young man
Laying there in the street
Could it be her babyÃ?Â?s daddy
Underneath the white sheet?
Panic sets in, followed by relief
There he is with her daughter
Coming up the street
CHORUS
Everday LivinÃ?Â? (Cont.)
POEM:
Once upon a time
We were draped in chains
Locked in shackles
With no hope
We swung from the rope
Freedom was like
Wishing for a trillion dollars
And now years after
The cotton field hollers
We use the rope to hang ourselves
Shackled by the ghetto
We are not yet freeÃ?Â?ya dig?
CHORUS
