Canarsie High - Ill Bill

Young mother smoke crack while her baby cries

Young brother sell crack, carry baby nines

Baby-faced gangsters wild out commit crazy crimes

Taking anything they want without shame or pride

Stray bullet hit a pregnant momma Bed-Stuy

Lead fly, final destination her death arrives

Was she in the wrong place or was she meant to die?

And whoever’s responsible they’ll never find

Fuck flipping burgers, serving milkshakes and fries

Kids committing murders living in these last days and times

White kids, black kids any race or price

Shooting up they high school Satan in they minds

We see everything and yet we forever blind

Society turn away and protect your eyes

Like a horror movie but you can’t press rewind

Bare witness to reality or step aside

Are we learning how to live or learning how to die

Building nuclear weapons and learning how to fly

I never graduated high school I got my GED in tenth grade

And ran around Canarsie High

Young baby girl gave birth to baby girl

Thirteen brought a little baby in this crazy world

I seen the same story every block, every borough

Every town same situation very thorough

Very sad baby girl never knew her dad

Broken home, broken soul ready to attack

Young dad doesn’t even know that he a father

And some do but don’t care, or care to even bother

Plenty good parents too, but bad situations

Young dad went to war in a distant nation

Proud American that wanted to be participate

Sent home in a box or in a crippled state

We see everything and yet we forever blind

Society turn away and protect your eyes

Like a horror movie but you can’t press rewind

Bare witness to reality or step aside
