Rili Dope - Message Verse 1: I turned da newz on, n I saw a child Only 12 yearz old, but runnin’ wild Hungry n desperate, neva seen hiz own mother N whole world in hiz eyez haz da same color He hatez da streetz, he hatez da life he leadz Da only fam’ he haz - da same street kidz He growz rough neck, lost soul full of anger N I ain’t doubt dat he's gonna be a gang banger Yeah.. N such stuff makez ma heart hurt 12 yearz on da Earth, but so much dirt No childhood, neva felt da mother's love But nevertheless da kid iz ready 2 bust a slug N it’s a million of kidz, grow just like dis N I pray every day for dem on ma kneez N I beg Lord help dem to change dem wayz N I wish dem 2 be in a better place

Verse 2: I watch dem children, run wild in da streetz I watch dem growin’ up n throwin’ out all their believez I’m watchin’ people passing by, they neva give a damn I’m watchin’ dat n ask maself “Now who da hell I am?” Am I a messenger, a preacher, teacher to dem people? I’m thinkin’ deeper, n now I feel da tear iz drippin’ Down on da floor, cuz I ain’t no one from da listed All I can do just sit n watch it from da fuckin’ distance N dat what killz me like every single day, I feel da pain N I got nottin’ more 2 say… N I got nottin’ more 2 say except 1 little tang, yo, c’mon
