[Hook:Kwanelletary (singing)]
Mhhh! What's going on in the streets
I'm always steady hoping for change
Sometimes I wish I wish I had Strength
Yes I wish I Had strength
[Verse 1:Kwanelletary]
Something's really wrong,I feel it in the air
And I can't pretend,so let me say
All the things that really make me sad
And all the things dat I'm feelin have changed
I don't know,maybe it's the parents
Maybe we ain't worried,future of the country
What about the young kids? growing up and watching
Seeing all the nonsense,dat we do in public
What is wrong about it?
Have you noticed that young kids be falling pregnant at young age?
Having babies at young age has become every girl's occupation
What about boys who' smoking d**? comitting crimes and jerkin us?
Why you think we don't even walk at night?
Why you think they all walk around with knifes?
What about your lil' sister,dat be dating with dat old mister?
Twice her age,who ran from his wife
She ain't even questioning why,is it foolishness or small mind?
Is it ignorance or their rights?
Parents sitting back on the side,some be encouraging that life
Where are parents that will say no? though some parents tried to say so
They got tired,Heaven they go,some are still believing there's hope
Neighbors keep on laughing next door,instead of trynna help the lost souls
Someone tell me why is that so? Why confusing that with your jokes?
[Hook:Kwanelletary]
Mhhh! What's going on in the streets
I'm always steady hoping for change
Sometimes I wish I wish I had Strength
Yes I wish I Had strength
Mhhh! The empty souls that I see
I'm hoping there's somebody out there
Who can a**ist em to change,can a**ist em to change
[Verse 2: Kwanelletary]
I'm not a saint,I'm jus only saved,the holy spirit's controlling me
I sold my soul to Jesus Christ,guess you can say he's possessing me
The life I'm livin you can call it trill
The people around me looking up to me
I'm hustlin hard to get to my degree
That's why I'm hardly found even on the streets
Still trust nobody,but my next to kin
That's still my mother always next to me
As for my father,Just wanna thank him for his only contribution when breeding me
Back in 93 and gave rise to this,independent rapper that represents Town-P
Still I got love for them younger kids,headed to school to achieve their dreams
What about those single mothers? headed to work,steady chasing the Mandelas
Feeding their kids,trynna make their lives better
Where's their men? disappearing like Hitler
What's the cause? Must have found some mamasitas
But the Lord is watching while you steady make her
Sweat the tears,steady hoping for the better
Question is,Is you feeling super better?
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Kwanelletary]
Woke up this morning and I received a call
It was from my mother,she could hardly talk
She was very shocked about what she saw
On her way to work she jus saw this boy
He was hanging on the tree,tied up by a rope
Police all over the place,looking at the corpse
I wonder what gave him dat kinda thought
But I still believe suicide is really wrong
Let this case to be the last case
We all shocked and hurting so deeply
Condolences to his whole family
I know what you going through,been there
Put your faith in God,cuz there's healing
Keep your heads up high on the ceiling
Life keeps going on jus keep living
This will come to pa** jus believe me
What about those Christians,who be holding grudges on Christians?
Who be looking down on their neighbors?
Who be praying loud in the churches
Yet be judging others like they are,holy angels living in Heaven
I'm not trynna say that I'm better,But I'm jus concerned cuz I'm Christian
[Hook]
[Outro : Kwanelletary]
Yeaaah! It's Kwanelletary]
