That's Y They Do It

That's Y They Do It - Low Profile

I'm a take this opportunity to explain

Why would a kid in '89 wanna sling coc*ine

Kilos of cracks in stacks and spend 20s and 10s

And at the age of 11 own a brand new Benz

But I don't blame it on the kids man the system is wack

There's more money on the streets gee than flip pin over big macs

But if you're still confused just groove to the music

Cause I'm a show you why they do it

Call up the press the newscast cause I'm about to serve

A d**e message segment yeah the need to be heard

Why would a young coming up wanna sling in the streets

Instead of planning for an educated college degree

Here's an answer who's a role model in the ghetto

While these Youngstown live in the slums like bums

They ain't got a role model so they look up to the brothers on day tons

While daddy drive a station wagon

Slack in lack in held in the back and

Mama's broke as hell so they start sell in crack and

Clock in more G's than the Jackson 5

See to them *** is slimming a way to survive

Go get a job minimum wage no don't even bother

Slav in like a sucker for 385 an hour

Nope I ain't with it y'all can take that back Jack

And stuff it down your mouth like a garbage can compact

'Just say no' man these children are laugh in slimming d**e

Yo the slogan's a joke

People keep speaking 'pon *** but they never coincide

When they never slung d**e in their life

How can they speak upon a subject at which they lack knowledge

You say you're trying to stop *** it's all a bunch of garbage

But if you're still confused yo just groove to the music

Cause I'm a show you why they do it

Now if you're still having trouble trying to find a reason kids sling d**e

And sport a fat gold rope

Let's take a look at this materialistic system bro

Specifically designed to keep minorities broke

You know the news got me laugh in

Every day they coming up with something new

Curfews and task force crews

But who's to blame because they never ever seem to work

It just seem that more people get jerked and hurt

How can they account for the problem which they started

Hey yo you must be retarded

But if you're still confused just groove to the music

And double's show you why they do it

No more lollygagging wasting time let's get to the facts

You ask what could spark a kid into slimming that crack

Then think about it to a kid coming up in this surrounding

The cash and canine he's more than forced to sling

His homies used to do it and his brothers do it too

So he gotta do it or else he ain't cool

Suckers try to knock him but they never succeed

So much money his pockets parents down to his knees

Almost blaming on the parents the first thing we do

In '89 y'all a kid's gonna do what he wanna do

But what do you expect when a brother lack role models

All he know is women cash and eight bottles

Most people make it to the top man they never come back

Speak to the kids say yo this is wack

Too busy having fun in the next man's game

They think they made it but they got a shackle still on they brain

People try to play me like a booty neck sucker

The system sling but see they do it undercover

You want the truth well here I just threw it

Peace that's why they do it
