Oh God forgive us ghetto bastards
We human beings
They leaving us inside this hell-hole
Just waiting to fail so they tell us
That's what jail for

Meaning

No one cares about hood kids, that’s why they become gangbangers and do ungodly shit — robbing, killing, dealing. Then when they wind up in jail, the government blames it on where they grew up — but they were never helped to get out of that hell-hole in the first place!
