What are you doing Let me ask you something. If the kids are the future, Tell me why you Can get more for being C.O., Than you can for being a teacher.
Tell me why it means More to the government To pay the people Who got to watch over the prisoners, More than the people Who got to keep the children From becoming prisoners.
That make sense? Tell me why 9 ounces Of crack will get you more time Than a rape right now.
Tell me why them crazy white boys Can tote a gun But I can't right now.

I ain't ever ran in no public place With no pistol shooting No innocent people. I ain't never ran in no school, Killing no kids.
