ILL Phyl - Fucked Up Place

I take a look around
All i see is hate and greed
People on the streets
Cus they can't afford to eat
Can't pay the bills
Cus the jobs are history
And all i really know
Is life is just a mystery
I just wanna know why we gotta fuel the hate
And why does opportunity arrive when it's too late
I can barely afford to keep food up on my plate
Yet the richies and the bitches drivin bentleys and they straight
They don't give a fuck about a family in the hood
They always label us say we up to no good
Yeah we may be hustlas
But we do what we should
To take care of our own yet we left in the woods
But i say fuck em all
Watch em crumble as they fall
Watch stumble as they stall
Like a flower to the skunk
I can tell they just a punk
I'm about to end it all with my double barrel pump
The world is a fucked up place
Too many people die and not enough to say
The world is a fucked up place
I'm just tryna live my life day to day
I just do what i do and stay on the grind
And try to keep this fucked up world off my mind
The world is a fucked up place
And after it's all said and done it's just a waste of time
Poverty has plagued us all
The government has enslaved us all
With our backs against the fuckin wall
And we crack stumble til we fall
What are we to do about it
Sit around and watch it happen
Unhealthy habit
Trapped like rabbits
See success i'm gonna grab it
Never gonna weigh the stress
Always gonna pay respect
If you gonna hate on us
See me coming grab the vest
I'm tired of seeing the pain
I'm tired of feeling the hurt
I've tried to see the rain
And bury my best friend in the dirt
See the sorrow on the news
And in the fuckin papers too
Sayin there's a god
But noone's listening it's true
Little kids be selling crack and start shooting up they school
The next thing you know they be gunning after you
Well fuck that i want my kids to see a better light
Where they actually getting knowledge and not worried about a fight
I usually love the darkness but i'm tryna see the light
This world is a fucked up place and we know it's not alright
The world is a fucked up place
Too many people die and not enough to say
The world is a fucked up place
I'm just tryna live my life day to day
I just do what i do and stay on the grind
And try to keep this fucked up world off my mind
The world is a fucked up place
And after it's all said and done it's just a waste of time
