I've seen people steal
to pay a bill
I've seen people kill
then take a seat to chill
I've seen young black sistas become whores
because the money they make is not enough they need more
I've seen young black brothas drop out to hussel
Don't like their girl so they curse her
I've seen one block of gov't cheese passed along a family that was poor
Got seven children they need more
I've seen whole families have to sleep on the floor
But no that problem is not even the core
I've seen fathers have to go out to rob
To provide for his family because he ain't got no job
And while a mother scraps the last penny in her pocket
Her daughter being electrocuted playing with the electrical socket
So I tell you this to say
That even though you don't get your way
Don't walk around with a frown
Because there's always someone less fortunate than you around
to pay a bill
I've seen people kill
