Poor Role Models

Yo! Your father was cop no wonder you just a snitch Growing up without a pops is humbling as it gets They rumbling up the block they hustling by the fence My cousin lives in a box my uncle back on the bricks My brother was busting zips down after six He dropped out of the schoolhouse to make a flip And guess what made him quit the basketball team Having a kid at 15 so I saw things that I shouldn't have seen A couple of bad teens who happened to have dreams but witnessing bad times they Turned into bad dreams For crack fiends we chopping up crack dimes My brother was last seen in the courtroom flipping the judge off Examples he end up leaving behind rubbed off Nail polish remover jail violence and shooters and mula We skipped school ain't no help out of a tutor Slap the hell out of Judah for crossing over Play both sides learn how to drive or park your motor I cant cry my tears dry my heart got colder Never seen Barcelona or traveled outside the hood Maybe cause I'm addicted to smoking my mama was Maybe cause half my niggas in prison for robbing plugs Selling designer drugs I'm used to that kinda love I had to go to certain foreign places to find a buzz What you know about a thug trying to get his rocks off What you know about a mug that's a permanent lock jaw I done seen plenty scrubs and hustlers pitching dubs Familiar with crips and bloods as a pup this what I saw What you See Poor role models We had Poor role models yea Poor role models poor role models poor role models Ain't no doctors or lawyers Just crack rock in the foil Turn on the pot then it boil and turn a zip to epollo Then watch the mixture recoil we got it out of the soil They taught us how to be loyal and move sicker than oil Black is king so you royal But I ain't find that out until later on Until inside of a cop car hearing my mama scream out my baby gone I maybe wrong but I made this song So you can just understand why you turned out the way you did And why you live like the way you live Brenda down the street got 80 kids That's what you seen as a teen so you got low self-esteem plus some baby twins With no father the cycle repeats itself Your own daughter will probably get beat herself By a man who ain't never had a man in his life doesn't understand what manhood is like Dysfunction it keeps pumping like it got it's own heartbeat Or something Yo these hard streets are munching on Little black boys and girls who need food you'll get lost in this world I've seen dudes use designer drugs What you know about a thug that's trying to get his rocks off What you know about a mug that's a permanent lock jaw Never got any hugs experienced empty love Familiar with crips and bloods growing up guess what I saw Poor role models we had poor role models Poor role models Poor role models Bounce Bounce
