REMEMBER WHEN KIDS COULD BE KIDS SEE THEM HOLDING EACH
OTHERS HAND, PLAYING IN THE PARK WIT SHOES OFF TOES IN THE
SAND//
OR WHEN THE ICE CREAM TRUCK WAS NEAR YOU HEARD HIS SONG WHAT
A TUNE, AND BEFORE HE HIT YOUR CORNER YOU WERE RUNNING UP TO
YOUR ROOM//
OR EATING DINNER EARLY....MATTER OF FACT THE SUN WAS STILL
OUT,YOU ATE YA FOOD QUICK SO YOU COULD RUN BACK OUT OF THE
HOUSE//
HOW ABOUT THE FIRE HYDRANT...I KNOW YA'LL CAT'S CAN
REFLECT,WHEN IT HAD OPENED DA NEIGHBORHOOD WAS OUT...DA
STREETS BECAME PACKED//
NOW IT'S A NEW DAY...A NEW STAGE WERE NEW GAMES HAVE BEEN
PLAYED,WEED AND CRACK ARE ON THE CORNERS THESE DAYS FOR KIDS
ARE NOT SAFE//
IT SEEM LIKE PEOPLE JUST DON'T CARE, NO THEY DON'T CARE
ANYMORE, NO NEED TO DIE OUTSIDE YOUR HOME NOW BULLETS FLY
THROUGH YOUR DOOR//
NOW A DAYS YOU JUST MIGHT DIE FOR WHAT COMES OUT OF YA
MOUTH, AND FIRE HYDRANTS ONLY OPEN WHEN THEY PUT OUT A
HOUSE//
WHEN WILL THIS MADNESS END I PRAY THIS SHIT WILL BE OVER,
IT'S LIKE A BULLET IN MY HEART IT'S TO MUCH PAIN TO BE
SOBER//
IF WE DON'T CHANGE THIS SHIT TELL ME WHO THE FUCK'S GONNA DO
IT,IT NOT THAT HARD TO CHANGE ALL WE GOTTA DO IS PURSUE IT//

I JUST WANNA TAKE IT BACK TO WHEN EVERYTHING WAS ALL
GOOD,SIMPLY MISUNDERSTOOD I WROTE THIS PIECE FOR THE HOOD//
