This one goes out to all of the children Hanging out of them buildings While they just watching the asphalt grow Now some of them got bright futures And some will never know Because they say it's a miracle If we live to see 24 This is for them babies with no fathers For the people that's starving Living out here on these streets To that man that's working too hard Just to feed his family Working 2 and 3 jobs Ain't got time for play at all This is his life
[Children Singing]
This is for my people out there hustling To the family that's struggling Living from paycheck to paycheck ? The baby needs a pair of shoes And on top of all that We've got to deal with self-esteem issues This is for the ones that go and tell They say no matter what you do Money can't buy you happiness And this is for all we've sacrificed For all of the pains For everyday we cry We just have to keep living our life!
