Show Up - Akon (阿肯)/OGBOODIRTY
Mama hold her head and cry
Cause her son had been shut down on the streets and died
Oh why oh why
Is what she cries she cries
The biggest problems in the cities
Is them daddies ain't there
And if it ain't about the money
Then nobody don't care
And then I spoke to an OG trying ment to me said boy
These streets suck the love right out your heart
So don't believe that bullshit
You know god damn well these niggaz won't show up
Oh no no noo
You know god damn well these ******* will grow up
I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos we can't get no lower
So I'm askin' God how do we dig ourselves out
We can't afford a shove
If there's a problem in the hood everybody comes together
Just to solve that problem
But that's the problem in the hood
Nobody comes together unless she involved violence
Cause we were taught to be the tough guys
And we were told just to remake silence
Then you got them niggaz telling on the next guys
Stand and tell them what it takes to solve them
Is there a problem that I don't know about
Is there a problem that I haven't heard about
Sad sick kids are robbin each other prostitues and **** dealers
We won't get much further unless we start helping each other
But they're none believers will say
You know god damn well these niggaz won't show up
You know god damn well these ******* won't grow up
I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos
We can't get no lower
So I'm asking God
How do we dig ourselves out
We can't afford a shovel
Rule 16 brothers with no fathers around
Ever 16 14 brothers now
Too much school to get a degree one with the jelle
Others was thugging on the streets damn
So nobody really made it out
You better celebrate just to get her health
Momma worked at 2 jobs while babysitting hard name
We wanna see ma daddy when we was in a drill
Life crazy can't disguise since whit the shovel
And all these **** around diggin' me with no shovels
You know god damn well
These niggaz won't show up
You know god damn well these ******* won't grow up
I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos
We can't get no love up
So I'm askin' God
How do we dig ourselves out
We can't afford a shovel
