[Hook] Look at what is happening and what we have aloud People steady struggling and its hard to get around When your babies old enough make sure you tell your child That we dont live in America but instead we live in the wild [Verse 1] What the hell is going on? It seems like everyday it get worse Even though you cant see the tears you can hear the pain through my verse People out here is losing jobs, losing money, trying to do what they can To scratch for dimes, and young kids is losing lives to these senseless crimes So tell me what all this means, is this the American Dream? Or the higher ups, cause they the ones that got all the cream My generation is corrupted, and its been that way for a long time Yes slavery still exist, cause we are slaves in our own mind Shout out to the government cause they dont care about ya They just only care about the money and the power Lord please forgive us, for we know not what we do So here I pray for some better days, cause I know one day it will come true in the wild [Hook 2] Look at what is happening and what we have aloud People steady struggling and its hard to get around When your babies old enough make sure you tell your child That we dont live in America but instead we live in the wild Ooo wooah ooo wooah ooo wooah instead we live in the wild 2x [Verse 2] I knew this guy named Kevin, me and him both went to the same school He was 19, a theatre major, on top of all he was real cool Safe to say, he was one of those guys that only was trying to do good And did whatever it took in school to get himself out the hood We never really talk much though, I only saw him at a few events This morning I got some bad news and to me it just didnt make sense Last night he was on his way to the L to meet up with his friend Mike As he recalled, Kevin didnt want Mike walking by himself real late at night A car pulled up and fired shots and all Kevin could do was run Three to four shot rang out, and Kevin was a victim of the gun Mike ran to his body with a bullet right through its chest Another good young black man is dead, and all for what? No reason! [Hook 2]
wooah, kevin, ooo, wild, aloud
