It 's a fucked up city of drug addicted despair It 's not safe in the playgrounds There 's stray bullets in the air nobody shows no pity nobody really cares The police , they turn a blind eye As the innocent die CHORUS There 's to many people , you 're getting lost in the crowd Nobody shows you no respect , somebody 's gonna end up dead You try to earn respect with a gun in your hand Resorting to violence will get you nowhere , nowhere !! Metal detectors at school doors Another kid 's been shot The kid 's are gathering on the street corners There 's a war to be fought Still nobody shows no pity Nobobdy really cares Nothing ever changes Everything 's gone crazy CHORUS
