1
When I grow up, I'ma be a superstar
2
Ah, ha, alright, baby
3
They don't know how it feels
4
(When you're out on your own, yeah)
5
(And you're lookin' for that home)
6
They don't know what it feels
7
(When the world's on your shoulder)
8
(And your baby, gotta be a soldier)
9
Yo, I was born in the projects, with roaches and rats
10
And our credentials were our, nines and gats
11
Stay the hell out the hood read the welcomin' mats
12
I remember them days, it was hard bein' black
13
Welfare checks and government cheese
14
Take your family in portrait, everybody smile say cheese
15
And it's a wonder how I kept my head from goin' under
16
Sun don't shine where there's, lightning and thunder
17
Some got ways, some got means
18
But still, we all just got hopes and dreams
19
The two blend together like dope and fiends
20
Cope with teens, has that new gangster lean
21
Everybody just wanna be a ghetto star
22
Fly cribs and drivin' them big cars
23
That's all Mr.President, hear the voice of the youth
24
I don't lie, I speak the truth
25
They don't know how it feels
26
(When you a single mother)
27
(And don't have that significant other)
28
They don't know what it feels
29
(To be in the ghetto)
30
(And your life be in slow a mo')
31
Been around the world a couple times with the refugees
32
From the boot of Italy to the land of Pawnee
33
Fell in love a couple times on the London Bridge
34
Fast cars, fast life, that's how I wanted to live
35
What a crusade, one of my great escapades
36
Cut many hearts, like the game of spades
37
But nuttin' was as fatal when they blew the World Trade
38
Now we at war momma, tradin' lives for grenades
39
Send in the troops, here comes the brigades
40
American resolve and our hearts'll never fade
41
I know you somewhere out there chillin' in the shades
42
But I hate to be the one to rain on your parade
43
See, God is merciful and God bless his children
44
That's how we gonna reconstruct them buildings
45
So stop the killings, we runnin' out of graves
46
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
47
They don't know how it feels
48
(To hear our babies cry)
49
(And watch our mothers die)
50
They don't know, what it feels
51
(To see our brothers in prison)
52
(While they losin' their religion)
53
These, eyes of mines are like, camera lens
54
Loved by many but stabbed by my friends
55
Is this the end? Some may cry out loud
56
But I won't worry, we gonna make it now
57
The ghetto fed up but they won't break us down
58
It's an eye for an eye, what goes around comes around
59
Do dis for my peeps who couldn't speak
60
Survival of the fittest, what happens to the weak?
61
They either in between, above or beneath
62
Tryin' to play me like a scrub in a passenger seat
63
Racial profile to say the least
64
There won't be no peace in the belly of the beast, c'mon
65
But we gonna make it through baby
66
Even though the world is so crazy
67
And if they ask you, tell 'em it's pain times three
68
'Cause it's a million of them kids stressin' just like me, baby
69
They don't know how it feels
70
(To see us go to war)
71
(And see the people free for no more)
72
They don't know what it feels
73
(To be a black man in America)
74
(And feel like they're comin' to get'cha)
75
They don't know how it feels
76
(To work for minimum wage)
77
(As your life starts to fade)
78
They don't know, what it feels
79
(To be down to your last buck)
80
(And no one really gives a mother, ha)
