I don't know what's wrong with these children today
Nothin' that a good *** kickin' wouldn't help

Lord, have mercy, the Devil he cursed me
I heard you had the cup of life and I'm thirsty
My *****z keep fightin' for a street, the white man own
So many died before they got full grown

Plus I got an ingrown toenail
I sit back in the window, and watch all the hoes sell
A lot of *** for a blast
(That's right)

Plus my little sister is gettin' fast
Usin' mo' *****z for financial aid
(What?)
They pickin' her up from the 10th grade

In a jeep they try to creep
Takin' her *** to Lover's Leap
I admit I'm a sinner
(Yeah?)

Did what I had to do just to get dinner
But I was told you was the first G
(No ****)
L.A. is a war zone, Lord, so could you have mercy?
You know who the ***k Jesus is

I admit, I don't call too often
(I know)
I wonder why I don't live in a coffin
'Cause I know a lot of my homeboys pray
But when it was time, they still got sprayed

The gr*** is greener in my neighbor's yard
He's white, so his house is barred up
By the windows and the doors
But my mom's gotta clean his ***kin' floors

They won't let us in
(That's right)
Even if we learn to act just like them
(Word?)
But if you don't learn you flunk
On a road to sleep, forever on a jail bunk
(All day)

But I ain't no punk and I won't get punked
By the system, so I gotta diss 'em
I was told you was the first G
Somethin' ain't right, Lord, so could you have mercy?
You know who the ***k Jesus is

I'm dead, so bury me alive
(Six feet)
Under all this ******** and jive
'Cause I know when you made South Central
****ty, it wasn't done intentional

'Cause I looked back before the crack
Before the macks, in mother***kin' Cadillacs
It was the same old thing
But nowadays, *****z mo' brainwashed

And I can tell everytime I see
L.A. Compton to Long Beach gangs talk
I wish when my pops got the ********
He woulda used protection

And I wouldn't be a squirrel tryin' to get a nut
And I want the nut, just to get some butt
It's like the battle of the ***es
My head spins around like I needed a exorcist

But if you blew up the world today it wouldn't matter
(Nope)
Just send down a ladder
To the people who had it the worst G
I'm askin' you, Lord, please have mercy
