1
{Today in Los Angeles another youth loses his life
2
Gunshot wound to the head, street violence is at an all time high}
3
No jokin', I'm sleepin' with my eyes open
4
Wanted for a homicide ride, the gun's still smokin'
5
Didn't know what I was doin' but did it anyway
6
Now the posse's on my trail, they say, I'm gonna pay, run
7
I had a gun, it's mine and I packed it
8
Out with my crew, the boys caught some static
9
Me and this sucker punk went at it, bang, nine automatic
10
Hunted child, I'm the hunted child
11
{Sources say the assailant was 17 years old
12
And lives in South-Central Los Angeles}
13
Now, I'm on a hideout tip 'cause they're after me
14
L.A.P.D. says they're gonna capture me
15
Was I crazy? I guess, I had to be
16
'Cause once you kill it's instant catastrophe
17
Your whole life is over through
18
Forget about, your girl, your crew
19
Nowhere to run, so what you gonna do?
20
Be glad it's me, homeboy, and not you
21
The hunted child, I'm the hunted child
22
Hunted child, I'm the hunted child
23
I'm only 17, I didn't mean to kill, man
24
But I was slangin' and bangin' for the thrill, man
25
When they said, 'kill,' I felt chill, man
26
But once I pulled the trigger, boy, then things got ill, man
27
My homeboys dipped out the back fast
28
Left me alone in the echo of the gun blast
29
Everybody saw my face, I didn't wear a mask
30
You wanna know my name, just ask
31
The hunted child, I'm the hunted child
32
Hunted child, I'm the hunted child
33
{The science of capitalism which you teach to the youth on the streets
34
Today with the ends justifying the means mentality ain't happenin'}
35
I'm sweatin' heavy 'cause my face is on TV
36
Everybody in this whole world's after me
37
Since I was young, I never had a damned thing
38
At Christmas time, I'd hate to hear the bells ring
39
'Cause in the ghetto, Santa ain't got a dime
40
Your mother's standin' in the welfare line
41
The way the youth survive is crime
42
My life is over so I might as well speak my mind
43
I killed a brother 'cause this system had me geared to kill
44
'Cause what I call home you call hell
45
My ghetto quarters ain't no better than a jail cell
46
But there's a message in this story that I'm tryin' to tell
47
We're just brothers on the streets killin' brothers
48
This system has us geared to kill one another
49
Sellin' dope to poison each other
50
The plan of the man, word to the mother
51
But I'm a sucker 'cause I fell into they plan
52
187, I killed a brother man
53
My life on Earth was hell, you understand?
54
But when I die I'm goin' to hell again
55
I'm the hunted child, I'm the hunted child
56
I'm the hunted child, the hunted child
57
I'm the hunted child, I'm the hunted child
