Five Fingers of Funk - The Mindstraights lyrics
Kids are caught going the wrong way Mindstraights tapping you Worried in a flurry about the clout and kids capping you Only thirteen another dream seems unreachable Reality's a salary morality's unreachable Look at his environment what stimulates learning A look in a book or real cash money earning Yearning for a fast break papes and all that Hard work is for jerks what kind of life do you call that? He takes a look around the neighborhood is good and run down Last night a kid got gunned down 'cause there's money after sundown Wants to get his share so he dares to take a bold step Knowing where he's going showing a grill a right and a cold left He doesn't need school to act a fool and create cash Getting juice like Tropicana clocking a grand and a fan with each flash And smoke from the flamer gaining game at a high rate Now he spends all his time on a climb to a high state The Mindstraights A brief look around reveals the reason for the Mindstraights Conditioned by living a life that's given to find papes The only indication of respect success happiness And if they don't find that they find stress The quest for the look pollutes the young mind quick "I've got a target on my back and a gun on my hip" There's no peel under my heel and I'm not trying to slip He's straight fighting tooth and nail just to get that grip He came equipped and flipped on the next one Gun to face laying waste or just to test one Run scadaddle or battle and show some heart kid Or come to where I live and get torn apart quick It takes just a second of thought to get a knot or shot Or get caught by a rock or be taught The rules of respect step the hard not the kind way He's baffled when he's gaffled by the judge and assigned days |
