Illusionz Of The ill-Taught

[Intro] [Verse 1] Shorty was the, age of nine She was ageing fine Innocent, unpolluted, never phased with time Who knew she'd ever leave them days behind? Had a talent for art, teachers said "That's an amazing mind Use it well because the grave is prying" Fast forward 9 years, she just wish that would've stayed in mind She now in college with a baby crying You see society done turnt our lil' girls into some crazy dimes I'm talking Hoes on poles, they inspired by those She follow bad bitches so she wanna try that pose When really she just want affection Made to think the only realistic connection's Through a fucking erection Thick mami or model slim, lost in perfection Grading so good, make girly hate her complexion But my homies be like "Nigga wait She tryna fuck before the dinner date Don't you think this shit is great?" [Hook] Innercity tales, who endures, prevails Illusions of the ill-taught leads to funeral bells I roll another for our brother, the single mother There's a whole new world to discover Why we taking cover? Ay, fuck these bitches but not my daughter Love to all my dargs, your dargs can go to the slaughter Innercity tales, who endures, prevails Illusions of the ill-taught leads to funeral bells [Bridge] Ain't nothing out here for a nigga but drugs, weapons and sex We can learn what they teach, but where will it reach? Shit, I ain't even tryna preach, let get it [Verse 2] Shorty was the, age of ten He on the pavement then He's seeing shit, he takes it in And clocked the game that's when His life ain't ever be the same again Now in his teens, serving fiends 'Cos somebody gotta pay the rent Ain't no daddy round to save him then Plus his mama waiting on that welfare to get paid again He starts to question "Why you blazing then?" You see his mama kinda like the lil' girl I'd just explained to them He's growing, up on trees Riding round with them g's Knows it's all wrong but he's down for them p's Now he's neck deep up in this hell We know the only outcome is dead or in jail But fuck it nigga oh well Ride for my niggas Yeah I'd ride my niggas Even do that fucking time for my niggas Probably die for my niggas But is it really worth it when we ultimately die as just figures? [Hook] [Outro]
