Play

Uh-huh (Yeah) Yo

It's this little shorty, knowhaI'mean

It's real (It's like it's rough)

What I'm supposed to do ya'know (It's real rough baby)

Yo, (Hold ya head, hold ya head dunn) Yeah

[Havoc]

It's bad enough I gotta grow up the fast way

These things going on got me thinkin they the last days

Tryin to come up, but shorty with a plan

Doin my best but can't see the promise in my land

These older cats wildin out over turf dog

I'm caught in the middle and it can't get worse

Just the other day I saw my homie wheeled off in a hearse

So used to it, it don't even hurt

My heart's numb, guess that's the Dunn Dunn

Can't speak on it, 'less you been where I come from

Stuck like bubble gum with no help from anyone

Moms got four others -- my four younger brothers

We're not supposed to do the tender age of ten

Dog, we're in the same boat I can't turn to my friends

Fore I lay me down to sleep pray to God that I'll see the next day

And do my best, hope these streets don't get me

CHORUS: Havoc (Prodigy) 2x

(It's real) Keep that park open

Baby I just wanna play

(Uh-huh) Keep that park open

Baby I just wanna play

(No doubt) Keep that park open

Baby I just wanna play

(That's right) Keep that park open

Baby I just wanna play

[Prodigy]

Yo' baby, I'm strugglin for crumbs, survivin the unheard of

Growin up amongst the violence and drugs

Growin up against the world and such (Uh-huh)

We the young black future of the world and plus

We the team that'll crush anybody you bring

We the one that's gon' hold it down, it's no thing no sweat

It barely take no strength, you cowards ain't built for this

(And it's real) All we wanna do is hit the park

Play all day and night without a care in the world

But it's drama in my hood, sho' it's hard to chill

You gotta stay on point and sharp as hell

Dunn, we just wanna have fun

I just wanna be with my dawgs, cuz we all we got

Don't why it is, but that's how it is

I just wanna be with my clique cuz that's where I fit

CHORUS

[Havoc]

(It's real) Where do I turn to, who do I console in?

I know I'm just a shorty but I want my wrist frozen nice

As I sat and thought many a nights

I could do the right thing or get read my rights

It's life, in the hood

Everything that look, it ain't

I stole base, now I'm runnin from home plate

Runnin from jake, sweat runnin down my face

And I can pay for every move I make

[Prodigy]

Just enjoy your youth, you only live once

Lil' dunn control yourself, learn discipline

And show some respect for others

Shit is serious on the street, you playin with fire

Concentrate on yourself and don't follow nobody

Hit them school books, so you ain't gotta borrow no money

These is jewels for you that you gon' wear forever

From us to y'all, now listen up to pa

CHORUS 2x

[Woman singer]

Mothers child

Has to go and travel into the wild

Lord she had a heavenly sky

Sweet saint he Lord

Thank you God

[Repeat]
