INNER CITY STORIES

In my streets people would rather trust a gang member than a cop

In my streets people would rather not go to school and instead sell that roc

In my streets people would rather be cool than be smart

In my streets kids missed out on the manners

They should have been taught

 

In my streets everything we have, we fought for

And although we did a lot, we should have fought more

In my streets people have nothing to lose, even though they have choices

They hate to have to choose
