Lyrics
Out in the street/Take a look around
Always somebody/Gonna shoot you down
Violence leads/To an early grave
But there's no one here/who can't be saved
Out in the street /Take a look around
Always somebody/Gonna shoot you down
Easy money/It's just a lie
You do hard time/And then you die
Violence leads/To an early grave
But there's no one here/who can't be saved
Easy money/It's just a lie
You do hard time/And then you die
Just open your eyes /And look around
The clown is a gangsta/The gangsta a clown
Violence leads/To an early grave
But there's no one here/who can't be saved
Just open your eyes /Take a look around
The clown is a gangsta/The gangsta a clown
So listen up Bozo/ You better listen up good
You're not even safe/In your own neighborhood
Your ego is/Way out of control
You've lost your mind/And sold your soul
But it's not too late/To make a change
Stop being a target/On the firing range
Pimping clothes/And all that bling
Don't add up/To a godamn thing
Only peace/Brings a happy life
It's time to give up/All the pain and strife
Cause pimping clothes/And all that bling
Don't add up/To a godamn thing
