Talkin bout drama
2
I met a young brother, how young about eight
3
He seemed intelligent and rather quite straight
4
I greeted him, and struck a conversation
5
To see if the youngster had some self-motivation
6
Peace brother, what's your name, and how ya be
7
He said I be soon coming off the currency
8
I said gettin paid, he said yeah like my man's brother
9
Who has a condo he shares with his baby's mother
10
He said a condo beats my apartment
11
With no lights and no gas and much backed up rent
12
No hot water or heat, and invaded by plenty rats
13
That'll eat up the average alleycat
14
He said yeeahhhh boyyyeee, that's poverty
15
I said word, I know and it bothers me
16
Cuz we are the victims, of a situation
17
How wicked man, seperated
18
a nation and got us cold-killin off one another
19
(Word-word, to the mother)
20
It's getting hot, how hot, hotter than July
21
Cuz the murder and crime rate is rising very high
22
For example, in my neighborhood, it's so hot
23
I'm often woke up, from the alarming sound of a shot
24
So I'm thinking what, is my neighborhood a trap
25
Could this be the place marked X on the map?
26
Now I'm spotted like a target, in the shooting gallery
27
So I start to seek for a better salary
28
So I can escape from where, from this ghetto life area
29
Cause everyday you're getting scarier
30
*blam blam* and scarier and scarier
31
Causing mass hysteria, it's drama
32
Talkin bout drama
33
Not to be bold and disrespect the homeless
34
Cuz I can see that they suffer from a long list
35
From not having shelter, and out on the street
36
without a job and days without a bite to eat
37
Yo I feel for those, but here's another side
38
about some more people that's living on the outside
39
Because of the fact that they chose the wrong way
40
And it took em on a trip for a long day
41
Got to the point you started stealing from your house
42
Stalking the rooms late at night like a mouse
43
Your family's upset and you've got to go
44
When it's, five, below and we're ex-pecting snow
45
And then you're on the train with a cup in your hand
46
Kicking dirt, and making it look like sand
47
Then after you run that game for a while
48
You start sucking up tokens from out the turnstile
49
Are you that desperate, just to get a hit
50
Is it so effective that you won't quit, and yo
51
Why do you come to me crying the blues?
52
About you can't get a job well go sell some street news
53
Then you can get straight and be real
54
But you'd rather rob and steal
55
And that's drama
56
Talkin bout drama
57
Not wonderama
58
But I'm talkin bout drama
59
Here what I'm sayin?
60
I'm not talkin bout your mama
61
Nahhhh, but I'm talkin bout drama Shaolin fist versus the llama Talkin bout drama
