Five - Sticky Fingaz

I know I’m just a kid

But I got problems too

And even though I’m only five

I’m just like you

At five months I was walking

Within a year I was talking

My parents tried to killed each other And make me an orphan

With all of this

Should of had the abortion

Why raising a kid up

If you don’t want him

On my block

They called me «dead eye Jones»

Till I punched them right into face

And left they eye Swole

On my first day of school

I learned I was the N word

And my ancestors were slaves

And cotton pickers

Grew up in Brooklyn

A few blocks from the projects

My moms was on some real

Single moms three jobs kid

People leaving this world

Had me thinking I’m next

When my babysitter Cookie

Got killed by her boyfriends

Side chick

I know I’m just a kid

But I got problems too

And even though I’m only five

I’m just like you

And one day

This little boy gon grown up

And turn to a man

Wanna rule the world

Got the earth in my hand

Want the chicks and the money

Wanna pop these bands

Wanna do it all

Before I’m dead

When I heard the news

I couldn’t been but 4

Stephanie Mills — «Never Knew Love Like This Before»

Was playing on the radio

I’ll never forget that song

They ain’t let me go to the funeral

I was a bit too young

Wit Cookie gone my babysitter’s Became the thugs next door

I learned to hustle

Charged my moms a dollar

To do my chores

Then Practiced on her pocketbook

How to steal at the store

I was practically a Hardened crook Until i got caught

My moms took me to church

And beat the hell out of me

Whipped me with extension cords Waking me up outta my sleep

I’m a kid but I ain’t kidding

Might have a kid body

But a grown man in it

Give me my gravy

Buck you pay me I ain’t no baby Finster you better give me my gravy
