How We Feel(Produced By L.T. Moe) - Chingy/Anthony Hamilton

Written by：bailey, buck, hamilton, kelley ...

Either they don't know don't show

Or don't care about what's going on in the hood

Uh uh yeah uh yeah yeah

This your boy chingaling man

Need to talk to the world real quick

Talk to 'em man

You know we got a lot of problems going on

In the inner city

In the ghetto in the hood

They ain't hearin' you

Ain't nobody touchin' on democrats Republicans all those folks

You know they don't care

What's going on in the ghetto anyway

Everyday I wake up with a regular mentality

But I'm a target on the street

And that's just reality

Cats in the ghetto ain't never had a high salary

Except makin' deals and selling blow in the alley

See the system was made for us to fail

Look at the jails

Overpopulated with Mexicans and young black males

I ain't tellin' the tale so we choose heaven or hell

Don't care about letters from school

We'd rather get street mail

I been a witness to some murders

Snitchin'I do without it

But then I wonder

Why the damn police don't do nothing about it

Go to the unemployment office

Hell yeah it's crowded

Our hoods takin' wrong turns

Now it's time to reroute it

I know a lil' dude 13

Carry a burner dropped out of school

Teacher said he wasn't a fast learner

Sometimes I wonder

In 20 years I wonder where we gon' be

When I say we

I mean my black community ya digg

They don't know how it feels to hurt so long

'Cause they never walked in these shoes

And they never had to cry these blues

How many men turn their back on us so long

Always say what they gon' do

But they never seem to come through

Pardon my French but I don't think

We ready for a lady president

It's evident that it's a mans world so that's irrelevant

The system think we all niggas and we not intelligent

But Martin Luther and Malcolm taught me

Before I'm heaven sent

The girls havin' kids and they still some kids

Poppin' them out one after another like

That's what it is

It's innocent cats doin' bizz they just tryin' to life

And the police don't even know

If the crime they did

It's got my brain in a twist

So I'm twistin' a leaf

On my balcony smokin'

And drinkin' trying to see some relief

If I can change our neighborhoods I would

Put that on me

This world messed up and that Stevie Wonder can see

So to my dogs locked down set ya mind free

'Cause you and I don't even believe

You can get your degree

Sometimes I wonder in 20 years where we gon' be

And when I say we I mean my black community

Let's go

They don't know how it feels to hurt so long

'Cause they never walked in these shoes

And they never had to cry these blues

How many men turn their back on us so long

Always say what they gon' do

But they never seem to come through

I twist the cap off the bottle

Take a sip and see tomorrow

Like pac wash away the sorrow

While police hit the block

I be up all night askin' God for the truth

He told me thinking translated

In my own words in the booth

Try to reach the youth 'cause that's what matters today

I'm ain't too religious

But I get on my knees and pray

Sometimes I wonder in 20 years where we gon' be

I ain't gotta wonder no more

My people rollin' with me yeah

They don't know how it feels to hurt so long

'Cause they never walked in these shoes

And they never had to cry these blues

How many men turn their back on us so long

Always say what they gon' do

But they never seem to come through

Yeah they'll never come through wo oh oh

They don't know about this thing
