It combines money, school, politics, and masculinity.
As the burning rain falls
It trickles
Down the faces of those, depressed
Oppressed by The Man
Uncle Sam is the name
Fifty states encompassed with three pals
Ex, Legi, and Jud
A friendship by all
For all?
Laws made against
Substances here by them
What happened?
I see you lost control
Now bills ratified
To lower the use of
Your crop...
Abusers at the whim of the producers
Like Jews love Jesus
Little boys in the hood
Grow up learning
The ways of the world of the street
'Yo lemme get a nic, umma pay you back. Please man, I need it...'
In school...
'I need a job man, only reason I'm here.'
Dropout
The life of a dealer
Dangerous, but
'I got the biggest cajones out here'
Pursues music
Gotta grow up, got a child yo
But not too much
I got bitches and hoes
"I love it when you call me big poppa"
And pop off nigga
"I been out doin' it for years, since elementary
Real good relationship with guns and drugs"
Fuck a bitch, shoot a nigga, get money
That's how life comes
Then I wake up
But it's not a dream
Many are distressed
Slaves of the modern world
The government is the headmaster
Lots have no say in
Gang bangin', drug slingin'
Born in the life
"Dropout rates risin', so what are they learnin'?"
Snitches get stitches and thrown into ditches
No pussies allowed
The burning rain returns
