They ain't gon' give it to ya, ya gotta take it take it...Nigga just open your eyes, realize, you can make it make it
-Krayzie Bone-
Welfare (Welfare), they tell me the crime is decreasin down in my neighborhood they riot, who the hell cares (Hell care?)?/ When we be singin and prayin but we been misused brutalized and bruised by the man i can't understand (Stand...)/ We fight our whole lives to survive, just to grow old and die, we gotta die sometime/ And yet we so desperate to stay alive
time after time, I ask myself why/ Cause it's rainin, it's pourin/ It's not your average everyday, it's stormy/ The end of the world's around the corner (Corner...)/ Think about repent (Repent) but really if you stop that shit you doin, could you pay ya rent?/ Cause we know, illegal business controls America (America...), and babylon controls America (America...)/ So it's up to you, if you willing to risk it, you can repent go handle your business/ May god have mercy on our souls
-Krayzie Bone-Chorus-
The world don't give it to ya, ya gotta take it...So nigga just open your eyes, realize you can make it...
