lady, you say i stay in the house til four
We dont even go out no more
Its always the same &

Always complainin
Its obvious baby
I guess you dont watch the news

You see theres a lot to lose
Cuz we got a baby
And people are shady my generation is changin

Aside from the fact
The dealers have customers they provide with the crack
Front of the buses taken

And we denied from the back
You can die where from, or die where you atdon't put it past them
I dont think that they understood

My friends they dont even sit in the class when they should
He can come pick you up
If your dads in the hood

Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good lady, somebody shot up the place right by
Where i work and i think they might
Be coming for me next

Lend me ya kleenex
I'm tellin you baby
I think i'm a bout to cry

Still gotta go out tonight
Cuz i gotta feed you
I hope that i see you again... again

Hope that i see you, see you don't put it past them
I dont think that they understood
My friends they dont even sit in the class when they should

He can come pick you up
If your dads in the hood
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good lately i dont know about the friends that i hang with

Im nervous round my boys, it depends on their anguish
Depends on if they saving all the tops on pepsis
With dreams of seeing girls topless on jet skis

Depends on what they do to achieve that
Robbing r&b singers, 'specially if they know where the keys at
'specially if they know where they girl live

Get the info, leave with ya money man, thats how the world is

Thats how ^!$$%s puttin they dirt down

Streets are seedy i call em sesame this earnie's and bert's town
'specially when these young'ns get turned down for work opportunities
Next week same place'll get burnt down

Coinci@#$%? not likely not a chance
How can we be so aware of these problems and not advance?
At least start put a bid in, its hard just to fit in

A lot of people only play they part when they spittin
But i dont think that they understood
They using this darkness for penetration in the hood

I took the ivory way in and yes im glad that keenan could
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good


Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good good good
