(FLAVA)
i just want you to listen,
troubled minds of the troubled times,
keep yourself together,
don't listen to other peeps,
cause a lot can happen on the streets,
and peer pressure is a killer,
so listen to these wise words that i preach
it aint safe out there,
i know this from experience
cause this is serious,
and that's how lives get messed up,
i took this time,
just eight bars to explain,
to the kids what's up,
(KENZIE)
you're living in dangerous minds,
dangerous times,
thug life,
you're growing up on the street
all that crime
i've been there before
i've been through it
i realise the pain, i'm drawn to it
it feels terrible
when you're on another level
to the rest of them
trainers, clothes,
you're not in with the trend,
it's just a teenage beef
that's bothering you,
it's just a phase in life
you'll have to go through
(CHORUS)
you know i never will amount to you,
but is it pain you gotta put me through
you know i never will live up to you
and all that you do
and all that you do,
you never tell your enemies from friends
and life will never be the same again
you never know where the story ends,
that's right my friend
and that's where the story ends
(KRAZY)
i hear these things again and again
and again
dress to impress for a friend
all it ever does
everytime i hear
will it ever stop
it just sends me round the bend
it ain't easy to be a teenager
i should know it puts your life in danger
do you ever really think that it will stop
all the muggings and the bullys
and the weapons, i think not
