You see it's hard to be the man that never gives up Life, weight, and soul but ain't nobody made it but us See dedications a must Having hope is a must And a little trust is more than enough You see Little Johnny is eleven years old Watching Tom and Jerry Tommy and Cole an innocent soul At fifteen a man put a gun in his hand Little homie had started loosing control Now he's living life daily up on a run Thinking when that day gone come and when he's under the sun And on his eighteenth birthday that day did come Now he's dead It ain't nowhere to run I can't relax gotta thank God I can't sit back gotta thank God Thank God that he open up my eyes Realize that my work here is better than my job I can't relax gotta thank God I can't sit back gotta thank God Thank God that he open up my eyes Realize that my work here is better than my job See people in Nickerson Gardens it was the hardest Battle to survive survivin' to stay starving The world Is dis-alarming Kids thinking they can be nothing just another statistic born into the system Boys ran into the block and they slang out Pick up a deuce deuce for the hood and they bang out The homies get laid down The only way to get out is to get rich or die trying to change route When I met Jamal and his cousin Niko Who's parents stay in long beach inside the Carmelitos He told me I had a nice hat I gave him my hat Immediately he told me thanks and started rocking it back And that a time I will never regret A possible role model he will never forget I told him yes he can aim for success and be the best He don't have to be another victim of the people threat I can't relax gotta thank God I can't sit back gotta thank God Thank God that he open up my eyes Realize that my work here is better than my job I can't relax gotta thank God I can't sit back gotta thank God Thank God that he open up my eyes Realize that my work here is better than my job In Compton I felt I had the higher chance Of being dead on the streets than the noble man And the streets did comprehend But they didn't want to get involved turning the community Back from mice to men I didn't notice it My mind start exposing it No matter how close I get their acknowledgement start exposing it These voices are voiceless So Imma use mine with every opportunity of a choice I get We been pulled into complacency I'll be fierce if I sit back act like the system care for me Or should I sat us Black America stand up We are free and we are more than enough I'm kinda like an activist It's not a matter if you're back or white Who cares if I'm matching with This is for my youngins I insist What coexist because I am philosophically passionate I can't relax gotta thank God I can't sit back gotta thank God Thank God that he open up my eyes Realize that my work here is better than my job I can't relax gotta thank God I can't sit back gotta thank God Thank God that he opened up my eyes Realize that my work here is better than my job
