(*talking*)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me tell you something (let me tell you)
About life in these streets (yeah, yeah) yeah
[Hook]
Let me tell you something
About life, in the streets
Let me tell you something
Trying to make, ends meet
Let me tell you something
With no shoes on your feet
Let me tell you something
[Ronnie Spencer]
Now I know, what brothers be talking about
On the streets, enough to make you scream and shout
I can look deep, into my brother's eyes
And see his life, is so full of lies
What's the game, what's the plan
Who's to say, what makes a man
What's a constant struggle, mind blowing decisions
Mistakes been made, they got my brother in prison
(Bridge)
It's your son, that you're missing
It's the cycle, it's the system
That hurt his father, now his son
Now there's something, got to be done
[Hook]
[Ronnie Spencer]
It's a shame, what a man's got to do
To keep a family fed, in a descent roof
They spend a billion dollars
Sending a man, to Mars
In a world of ghettos, where our children starve
Brothers hustle, trying to go legit
But when things get hard, he tend to forget
Putting dope in his draws, trying to avoid the laws
Just to feed his family y'all
What's the game, what's the plan
Who's to say, what makes a man
It's a constant struggle, mind blowing decisions
Mistakes been made, they got my brother in prison
(Bridge)
It's your son, that you're missing
It's the cycle, it's the system
That hurt his father, now his son
Now there's something, got to be done
[Hook]
[Ronnie Spencer]
When things go wrong, what do we do
Break down on our knees, you know where we go to
Jesus Christ, you know we need ya
What's the game, what's the plan
Who's to say, what makes a man
Let me tell you something
