[Excerpt from an episode of 'A Diff'rent World':]
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I WANNA BE A BALL PLAYER.
I'M WISHING ABOUT BEING A BALL PLAYER, ABOUT BEING A
RACE CAR DRIVER OR ASTRONAUT.
YOU AIN'T, YOU AIN'T AFRAID TO DIE.
I RESPECT THAT, MAN. I RESPECT THAT
BUT WHAT ABOUT I HAVE TO LIVE FOR, MIKE?
MAN, THERE AIN'T NOTHING TO LIVE FOR!
(Uh, uh uh)
Being by where I live and it's making me sick
Brothers got me getting from going to school, but I can't quit
'Cause if I do (if you do), I'll be through (you'll be through)
But tough rhymes will beat me till I'm black and blue (ooh)
So what I do is take it day by day
Get in school and get a lecture with my pants in the wrong way
Then they try to ban them after wearing braids
Oh yeah, even though I was keeping up my grades
But yo, it didn't matter (Why?) 'cause just cause I'm with it
They kept called the posse tryna get me to quit it
I've got some friends that be treating me mean
Jealous 'cause they've seen us on the TV screen
They wanna beat us down 'cause we ain't around anymore
They wanna beat us down 'cause we ain't around anymore
But they gots to understand I'm still down with my crew
I just got some business to attend to
But never will we ever go shady (shady)
And turned my back on my hood 'cuz my hood is what raised me
Uh, what's funny is I ain't grown up
Hope we did something to keep some of the young
up here from being torn up
But now I'm considered as a role model (role model)
So it ain't something older like it turning up an old gold bottle
I prayed and prayed and everything is good
'Cuz it's rough and tough growing up is lil' boys in da hood
If we wasn't till we missed, we be out the back door
But I was told like I'm telling you've got something 2 live 4
Break 'em off some
