(Spoken Introduction)<\/p>\n

I Couldn\u2019t Believe My Eyes One Night<\/em><\/p>\n

When I Was Strolling Down the Hood and Gangs<\/em><\/p>\n

And I Stopped By To Say \u201cHi\u201d And He Said \u201cHey Hommie<\/p>\n

What Are You Doing In This Neighborhood?\u201d<\/p>\n

(I\u2019m being True To Myse<\/em>lf)<\/em><\/p>\n

I Turned Around and Took A Quick Glance<\/p>\n

And I Seen A Young Man \u2018Bout Eight Years Old<\/p>\n

Riding down The Street with a Bicycle<\/p>\n

With Something Bulging Out Of the Back of His Shirt<\/p>\n

Starrin\u2019 Down the Hood, Looking At Every Alley<\/p>\n

And Doorway and Across the Street in the Park<\/p>\n

I Seen Him Lookin\u2019 At another Young Man<\/p>\n

About The Same Kind of Guy<\/p>\n

Verse 1<\/p>\n

I Feel Like a Martian From Outer Space<\/p>\n

I Feel, As I Don\u2019t Belong In This Place<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve Got Problems from My Feet up To My Head<\/p>\n

But All I Really Think About Is If I Were Dead<\/p>\n

I Feel Lost, Confused, Disengaged<\/p>\n

I Feel As Though My Head Is Screamin\u2019 In a Rage<\/p>\n

You Can\u2019t Think About Suicide In These Days<\/p>\n

Because I\u2019ve tried To Commit It, and In Many Ways<\/p>\n

Everyone Stops Me, I Don\u2019t Know Why<\/p>\n

All I Really Want To Do Is Lay Back and Die<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve Done Crystal, Coke, Even Speed<\/p>\n

Alcohol Pot and Lsd, Uppers<\/p>\n

Downers and Around The Clock Counters<\/p>\n

But Nothin\u2019 I\u2019ve Tried, Seems To Make Me Die<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve Tried Russian Roulette, But That Didn\u2019t Work<\/p>\n

Because The Person That Shot Himself<\/p>\n

Is One Big fuckin\u2019 Jerk<\/p>\n

I Know You Don\u2019t Believe Me, But This Is True<\/p>\n

Give Me A Gun, I\u2019ll Show You<\/p>\n

I Go Around All the Time Saying, “Fuck This World ”<\/p>\n

Then I Do A Drug And It Takes Me For A Whirl<\/p>\n

And The Question That Always Comes To Mind<\/p>\n

Why Be Nice, Why Do Something Kind<\/p>\n

Then I Ask Myself The Question Why?<\/p>\n

And All I Ever Come Up With, Is That Wanna<\/em> Die<\/p>\n

(Spoken Conclusion)<\/em><\/p>\n

Then To My Surprise<\/em><\/p>\n

I Turned Around And I Saw Across The Street In The Park<\/em><\/p>\n

That Little Eight-Year-Old Child Shoot Another Young Man With His Gun<\/em><\/p>\n

A Generation Lost Baby, You Need To Be Found<\/em><\/p>\n

Be True To Yourself, Be True To Yourself<\/em><\/p>\n

Be True To Yourself, Be True To Yourself<\/em><\/p>\n
