Damn

You take your first steps Momma in hand Guide you forward To help you stand up to a world so unforgiving End up on the streets trying to make a living Get up, go to school, she's drilling you But her words are drowned out The minute you found out All about the word on the street, what's it sound like? Take some risks act like you don't care Caught up in some shit Now your momma's scared And you said Who gives a damn about me? who gives a damn? (lord, who?) Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? And you said Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn, anyway? (lord, who?) Who gives a damn about me, who gives a damn? Who gives a damn about me? who gives a damn? Who gives a crap about me? Lord, won't you tell me who gives a damn? You take your first steps on your way up to a life of crime, think you'll find The streets are paved with gold and diamond Gonna beat your way up till you find it But the gold is foolish and the bling is a trick of the eye Don't be fooled by the gold, son Don't be swayed by the diamonds Don't be fooled by the gold, son Don't be swayed by the diamonds
