Jermaine Dupri - It's A Shame lyrics

[Verse 1/Daddy Mac] Hey yo, here's a real scoop, homie loc Dumb fools around my way gettin' high off gunsmoke And I ain't talkin' about the high like Indo The kind of high that make you call your kinfolks And tell them Oh, Johnny's dead A fourteen-year-old kid put a nine to his head All because he wanted that gear he was sporting" Gimme that, while you're at it, gimme them Jordans Johnny tryin' to jet, homie wasn't hearing that Johnny tryin' to run and got gatted in the back Now tell me what happens to the way things used to be?
