[Verse 1] This song will get the people talking So everybody quiet, please settle down It's apparent like a mom and dad That this song like Pac needs to get around Now think about a ghetto child whose mom and dad are never found so they get placed all day around to whoever now And let's say it's all broken people around them So their mirror a broken mirror soon is where they're headed wow Like a chopper, I'll attempt to cover hella ground Daycare and rent cost the same, check it out So while you're training for a new job Your baby is around people with no home training Let me stress it now If one in five girls or one in 20 boys gets assaulted Sexually in America, that's hella wild Not to mention if you do the math it means that there is somebody potentially around them that gets aroused And due to strict nature that a parent has If something happens to them they'll be scared to go and tell 'em how Somebody violated them, it could be family or still a baby unable to speak, an undeveloped child And what will soon develop all distorted views on sex on top of low self-esteem plus depression now Even being withdrawn, suicide is where it led him, wild, is the picture starting to develop now? Now picture every family's deep dark secrets that everyone fakes to forget about And picture how the family reunions have to feel with your anxiety while you're faking hella smiles Then picture the street code 'cause everybody's seen it It don't matter if you're black, white, yellow, brown And the prisons don't even have to let him out Because of charges that you never filed on a pedophile
[Bridge] So many are hurt and take no action The type of hurt that many don't come back from So please be aware 'cause you can't tell what happens To all our kids within a parent's absence

[Verse 2] Ain't no telling the thoughts of an individual grown When 90 percent of the life, the kid was alone Where was your mom and daddy, not getting along? And dating a bunch of strangers that enter your home Embarrassing killers 'cause now your kid is exposed They wanna be like you so now they get to indulge The little ones see you constantly pick up the phone And you forgot to set the parental controls The more I think about it yo my temperament grows 'Cause back then, informing us wasn't digital, bro The men and women that did it were sickening yo With no computer to sit behind, it was physical bro Because it happened to me and then think so many before These are bars for the deserving of imprisonment, bro And to think I was busy minding my business you know Playing Sega Genesis, eating a cinnamon roll Damn, now my sex addiction it grows Love isn't connected to it, it wasn't close Too many relationships have ended in float So my drive was for intercourse and I did it to cope Riding 'round listening to Citizen Cope About to burn a Penitentiary and it was the most Vivid description that I can feel in my soul 'Cause it was more mental how I'm really engulfed I gotta sickening soul dark, it was lit up before But now it's rigid and dull, I gotta dip it in gold As an infant, was immature, had to give up the ghost I was robbed of my innocence, pennies ripped from my coat This is the most intrinsic 'cause when you're ripping the flow The tears I did when I wrote this, it was written in gold To only be gotten by victims, you don't get it, you know If you ain't been through it, quit your insolence, give 'em a poke This is a dose, general 'So
