Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lady, you say I stay in the house 'til four
We don't even go out no more
It's always the same, ayy
Always complainin'
It's obvious, baby
I guess you don't watch the news
You see, there's a lot to lose
'Cause we got a baby
And people are shady
[PreChorus]
My generation is changin', aside from the fact
That dealers have customers they provide with the crack
Front of the bus is taken and we denied from the back
You could die where you from or die where you at
[Chorus]
Won't put it past them, I don't think that they understood
My friends, they ain't even sit in the class when they should
He can come pick you up if your dad's in the hood
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, good, good
[Verse 2]
Lady, somebody shot up the place right by
Where I work and I think they might
Be coming for me next, lend me your Kleenex
I'm tellin' you, baby, I think I'm about to cry
Still gotta go out tonight
'Cause I gotta feed you
I hope that I see you again, again
Hope that I see you (See you), see you (See you), yeah
[Chorus]
Won't put it past them, I don't think that they understood
My friends, they ain't even sit in the class when they should
He can come pick you up if your dad's in the hood
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, good, good
[Verse 3]
Lately, I don't know about the friends that I hang with
I'm nervous 'round my boys, it depends on they anguish
Depends on if they saving all the tops on Pepsi
With dreams of seeing girls topless on jet skis
Depends on what they do to achieve that
Robbing R&B singers, 'specially if they know where the keys at
'Specially if they know where they girl live
Get the info, leave with your money, man, that's how the world is
That's how **** puttin they dirt down
Streets are seedy, I call 'em Sesame, this Ernie and Bert's town
'Specially when these youngins get turned down for work opportunities
Next week, same place'll get burnt down
Coinkidink? not likely, not a chance
How can we be so aware of these problems and not advance?
Least start, put a bid in, it's hard just to fit in
A lot of people only play they part when they spittin'
But I don't think that they understood
They using this darkness for penetration in the hood
I take the ivory way in, and yes, I'm glad Keenan could
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, good, good
[Outro]
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, good, good
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, good, good
