WE DESERVE BETTER

The shootin in my hood again
Young men killing young men
They shootin in my hood again
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
But We Deserve Better
I live deep in the hood on the south side
Cant even let the kids play outside
With bullets flyin they run and hide
Cant take that chance so they stay inside.
They shootin in my hood again
Young men killin young men
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
But My kids deserve better
Bullets, they dont have a name
The Shooter, he dont have no shame
Everyday for him, its all the same
Doin what he do to stay in the game.
They shootin in my hood again
Young men Killin young men
They shootin in my hood again
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
But I deserve better
A single Mom and I work real hard
Live in a big house, have a big yard
Have a pitbull for a guard
Dont own a gun, wont play that card.
They shootin in my hood again
Young men killin young men
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
But they deserve better.
I have nightmares for my son
I fear the day he picks up a gun
A young man lookin out for number one
Just one shot and hes on the run
Or just one shot and his life is done.
They shooting in my hood again
Young men killin young men
They shootin in my hood again
And nobody cares
Nobody cares
But We Deserve Better.
